Rancher +Militia vs BLM,trouble on the range.(OT)

Those supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy who may have pointed weapons at law enforcement during a showdown at Bundy's ranch last month could soon face consequences.

Las Vegas TV station KLAS reported Thursday that the FBI has begun interviewing Clark County sheriff's officials in what the news station describes as a "formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations" on the part of the Bundy militia.

The wrangler was driving a load of horses and burros north on Interstate 15 about 11 a.m. near Mills when a dark blue Dodge 1500 extended-cab pickup pulled up alongside the wrangler. The two occupants "told him he was No. 1 with that certain gesture," said Eric Reid, the wrangler’s supervisor at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Fillmore Field Office.

The pickup fell back and the wrangler continued north. A few minutes later, the pickup reappeared, Reid said. The men, wearing hoods, held up a sign, apparently scrawled on a piece of paper, that read, "You need to die." One of the men pointed what appeared to be a Glock handgun at the wrangler.

how many people actually will choose to be indoctrinated by it.

holy shiht....that boarding video!

Makes SUP look like rednecks surfing cows with sticks.

Militiamen and woman camping on Cliven Bundy’s cattle ranch are packing up and heading to Utah where another protest against the Bureau of Land Management will happen Saturday.


Ryan Payne, a Montana resident who had been staying at the ranch for a month, said he drove eight hours to arrive in the eastern Utah town this morning. Three militia members from the ranch and a handful of people from a group called Citizens Action Network came to Utah, too, he said.

"This is where it’s happening Saturday,” he said.

They and others Saturday will be armed, he said, and ride ATVs into Recapture Canyon, an area the BLM declared off-limits to motorized vehicles in 2007. The ride is organized by San Juan County, Utah, Commissioner Phil Lyman.

a Utah county commissioner is trading in Nevada's horses for ATVs and urging fellow activists to illegally ride through a publicly owned 11-mile canyon on Saturday as a statement against federal "overreach."

"Our action is not aggressive or mean, it is purely defensive and intended to demonstrate that, despite heavy-handed federal action against us and our community, we still look to the BLM to respect the law and to follow their own rules and regulations which protect local interests and appropriately recognize State and County jurisdictional authority," said San Juan County Commissioner Phil Lyman, a conservative Republican.

Recapture Canyon, located near Blanding, Utah, was closed to motorized vehicles in 2007 to protect Native American ruins after officials discovered an illegally constructed trail that ran through 1,000-year-old ancestral Puebloan archaeological site. Violating the closure can cost a person up to a $1,000 fine and 12 months in jail.

But on Wednesday, Bundy's militia lent its voice to the cause by urging followers to join the foray into the Utah canyon.

A group of war veterans were forced to cancel "a traditional Navajo Warrior welcoming home ceremony" scheduled to take place in the wilderness near the area out of concern that the ATV ride could get out of hand.

And local tribal groups also view the event as yet another example of disrespect aimed at Native American cultural heritage.
