We are witnessing a secessionist occupation in Nevada, and nobody is lifting a finger to stop them. Bundys terrorists are setting up armed checkpoints and harassing locals, just like the Taliban terrorists are doing in multiple countries around the world. From the link:
Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford, sent a letter to Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie about the safety of residents in the Bunkerville area. Horsford says his constituents have expressed concern over the presence of armed militia groups from out of state.
According to Horsford, his constituents say the militia have set up checkpoints where residents must prove they live in the area before they are allowed to pass and have set up a persistent presence along federal highways, and state and county roads. They also claim some have established an armed presence in the community.
Horsford told the sheriff that the militia are making people feel unsafe. Armed people from across the country arrived in Bunkerville weeks ago to support Bundy in his fight with the Bureau of Land Management over cattle the agency says are illegally grazing on federally managed lands.
If youll remember, the thieving, racist, un-American scumbucket Cliven Bundy made the BLM blink a while back, which this writer said would embolden his equally scumbucketish militia goons. That is clearly what has happened.
A seditious, secessionist, anti-Constitutional terrorist group has been emboldened to the extent that they are setting up armed compounds on Federal and State land, and pretty much acting like terrorist insurrectionists do in other countries. Which makes them the same as al_Quaida, the Taliban, anti-Ukrainian Russian agents, and others whom we rightly condemn for their illegal activities.
Two questions, then:
Number A; why do so many Americans support Cliven Bundy and his militia motherf***ers, and
Letter 2; why are the local, county, state, and federal government sitting around, letting the locals be terrorized and doing nothing to stop the militia asswipes?
Remember, peeps: this is what happens when you let the bullies win. When you let the criminals get off scot-free. When you let the terrorists win.
When the government, in other words, does everything it says it will never do. "

Maybe a few more months in the sun will help them.

And what is terrorism anyway? Violence or the threat of violence for political/religious reasons?

Armed secession is OK if you're white and a wingnut, tho'.

(53,339 posts)We know from news reports of one "Patriot Checkpoint" at the entrance to the driveway leading to Bundy Ranch.
Rep. Horsford first raised the issue on MSNBC's Hardball, when he initially mentioned "a checkpoint" which he heard about, he said, in one email from one constituent. Without confirming or attesting to one or more hearsay reports he's received, Horsford is asking authorities to investigate.
A local news station reported:

There may or may not be some truth to the reports of public road checkpoints, but so far there has been no evidence offered to substantiate those claims.

(4,524 posts)These people have no authority to stop or detain you, so you can just plow through their roadblocks. They can't shoot at you or even chase you without going to jail (unless if the Sheriff is traitorous himself).
If they were setting up checkpoints and harassing people, that calls for sending a National Guard regiment down there to stop them (preferably non-violently), imo.
