In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial board, Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said that BLM-defying rancher Cliven Bundy must be ‘held accountable’ for his actions.

Gillespie said he had spoken with Bundy multiple times in the months before the BLM rounded up his cattle which were grazing on government land despite Bundy’s refusal to pay grazing fees. Gillespie said that he he made it clear to Bundy that, if there was going to be a protest, it must be peaceful.

However, the sheriff said, Bundy crossed the line when he allowed supporters, including armed militia members, onto his property to brandish weapons at police.

“If you step over that line, there are consequences to those actions. And I believe they stepped over that line. No doubt about it,” Gillespie said. “They need to be held accountable for it.”

Gillespie also criticized the Bureau of Land Management for their handling of the round-up, saying they were not properly prepared.

4. If only he was growing weed.

Then there would be an out and out assault on the place...his cattle grazing on government land, not so much.

But yeah, they did step over the line and now think that is the new Alamo or something. Cray cray Tea Party Militia types just know they have to protect his criminal activity...before it violates the Constitution they claim to be defending...or something.
