After Nevada standoff, Bundys 'feel above the law'



Excerpt:

Such inaction was likely to have consequences, predicted a July 2014 report by the Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis.

The militants' belief that the standoff "was a defining victory over government oppression is galvanzing some individuals," the report said, linking several criminal acts -- including the murder of two Las Vegas police officers -- to those who helped at Bunkerville.

The report warned more violence and armed standoffs were likely -- especially against government officials and law enforcement.

"At end of day, the Bundys walked away with essentially a victory," said Eric Herzik, professor and chair of the University of Nevada-Reno's Political Science Department who closely followed the events in 2014.

When? When will justice be served?
These welfare ranchers are damaging the land.

1. Coddle terrorists and the resuts are super terrorists. eom

2. Apparently they are correct in that assumption.

Since nothing appears to be happening to teach them otherwise. They are hoping for an opportunity to be martyrs and so far their hopes haven't materialized.

3. Old man Bundy thinks he'll win in court next time

Delusional.

[geek tragedy]

6. Why would have he have to win in court? He will never have to appear in a court as long

as he lives. He's above the law, and the feds have admitted as much through their cowardice.

4. yep. They are above the law

No repercussion for this.

5. Gosh, who could have seen that coming?

7. I was OK with Obama's strategy at the time.

I thought it made sense not to give the nutjobs the violent confrontation they wanted. I assumed that the government would use legal process -- begin a lawsuit to assess the unpaid fees, get a judgment, demand payment, and when payment wasn't forthcoming begin enforcement. That could include levying on Bundy's cattle and even his ranch. For example, if he tried to sell cattle to a beef processor, the prospective buyer would be on notice that the cattle belonged to the government, and could be confiscated from anyone foolish enough to pay Bundy money for them. This slow, patient process would eventually bring about a just result.

Unfortunately, I've seen no reports that anything like that is being done. There's nothing to counter the professor's assessment that the Bundys walked away with a victory. It's an ongoing victory, in that they're still grazing their cattle on our land illegally, with no repercussions.

I just can't understand what the administration is thinking.

8. Well that's understandable,they certainly do

seem to be above the law.
