The Sheriff in my neck of the desert would still do this.
About twenty years ago, he had to evict some non-taxpaying landholders from an extremely isolated private spot in the desert. . . . he went in single-handed. The yayhoo-ers warned him off, shot at him even. He went in and handcuffed them, and put them in his Sheriff's van, and drove them off to jail.
I told him once how someone threatened me with a rifle, and he was about ready to go arrest him for assault. I said "Nah, don't do that. No need. He learned his lesson."
The Bundys in this case are fighting for their principles with words. They are far from the kind of people who would need to be handcuffed if a Sheriff came to take them in.

We didn't try it in the eighteen hundreds it was already in place. The south wanted to keep it this way while the north was busy doing the same things England did to the colonies in the 1700s. Politicians started pork barrel policies and placing heavy tariffs on southern needs to serve their election and re-election interests. The south seceded, which was their constitutional right, and the north won and ended any hopes of a libertarian utopia.
Labor is a commodity just like any other item at the grocery store. Unions distort the labor market just like a price floor distorts the bread market
That none of us have any morals we're willing to stand up for.
You must have a tiny brain and tinier penis, tbh.
You guys must be trolling.. forreal. Please tell me that after 15 pages you still can't know...

Isn't that what tons of people have been saying though? I don't think that point has been missed.
I feel like you're just saying that the feds screwed up, and the militia hasn't exactly helped any, but that they just need to settle this and be done? That they need to quit wasting our time?
I also think it's odd that we (or some people here) want to prop up the "little guy". The same "little guy" who broke the law for 20 years. The same "little guy", that when he got his assets taken away because he didn't pay the fees, had a militia come on down that was ready and willing to try to keep the government from legally taking those assets. I'm all about people having the right and freedom to do as they wish (for the most part), but I also think we have to follow the law.
I think both sides are stupid, the feds and the Bundy's. If the feds had handled this right from the get-go, maybe we wouldn't have this problem. However if the Bundy's had paid their fees, we definitely wouldn't be having this problem. This isn't exactly a difficult case/decision, so I don't understand why anything is still going on over there, or why we're still discussing it.
Money.
But yeah... that's what I'm saying. All the above. Only thing I'd add is that maybe bundy deserves one more audience to hear his pitch... and then be done with it all. I don't care so much the outcome, but that the 'trial' is FAIR.

I might be inclined to sympathize with the farmer but when he's got an armed militia ready to start a firefight he loses me. These guys are real nutters: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/foxs-hannity-stokes-tension-between-harry-reid-and-cliven-bundy/ holy **** what freaks. This guy starts talking about the Blood Moon? I love how Fox News is openly instigating a shootout, by using crazy right-wing internet sources. Hannity is practically drooling for something crazy to happen. If the left was doing this with a Black Panther type group could you imagine the backlash?
Just stfu. Srsly. Stay the **** out of the thread if all you can do is link a fed article and talk **** bout nothing.
You live in utah? Just curious.

The fed conspiracy knows no bounds! They control the whole internet (even and especially Jazzfanz!). You think the feds are just going to let farmer dale get away with this? No. This is coming straight from the top. Obama's involved--he's been targeting the Bundy's & other irrelevant "freedom fighters" for years. He wants to give the white man's cattle to the Black Panthers. The Blood Moon is a sign. The reckoning is upon us. Arm yourselves my brothers and sisters, prepare. This is where we draw the line. FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM
Yes, I do.
Given that Bundy has had nearly two decades of legal process before the feds attempted to seize anything, what do you think they should have done instead?
Asked nicely?
