BUNDY RANCH SAGA :THE MAGNIFICENT BUNDYS
- 10 years ago
Rancher Cliven Bundy won his battle against the Bureau of Land Management, at least for the moment.
The well-armed -- some would say overly armed -- federal agents retreated in light of stubborn, armed, angry opposition after a week of intimidating, harassing and threatening that culminated in federal agents warning that they would shoot any of Bundy's supporters if they tried to free the cattle collected by the BLM.
The result was a group of Bundy's family members and supporters making a slow advance on a line of armed agents who kept ordering them to halt. At one point, the protesters were even told "one more step and you're dead," but the group kept coming, eventually walking easily through the line of federal agents and SWAT members who obviously didn't have the courage of their convictions.According to InfoWars, the BLM had already announced it was leaving, but the county sheriff refused Bundy's demand to disarm the federal agents and return his cattle.
Within about a half hour, the cattle were released from the federal pen.
"The people have the power when they unite," Ammon Bundy was reported saying in the Las Vegas Review Journal. "The war has just begun."
