Who said they were good guys? I haven't met each one of these people individually to get a read on their personalities. They may be bad people, who knows?
Oh, so people slaughtering each other in a mass shooting causing pain and anguish to all their loved ones would be amusing to you?
What a sad indictment on your character....
They are the ones walking around armed to the teeth, playing commando cowboys. What do you think they intended on doing with all those weapons if the feds hadn't backed off? If you play with guns, and you are an idiot, then you might get hurt. Sorry if I lack sympathy for them, but I'd rather they hurt each other than innocent law abiding people or federal agents doing their job.
Oh, they most certainly are not the good guys. Not by a long shot.
No, they are not. And people in the surrounding area want them out.
"A Nevada congressman is calling on elected officials in the state to rid a town in his district of militia members who have rallied around rancher Cliven Bundy in his battle with federal land managers.
Rep. Steven Horsford [...] said he's making the request after hearing more complaints from constituents about the presence of Bundy supporters near Bunkerville, 75 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
In encampments around the Bundy ranch, self-described militia members from around the country continue to camp with handguns on their hips and heavier weaponry within reach in a show of support for Bundy."

BUNKERVILLE, NV (FOX5) - An emotional crowd gathered for a town hall meeting on Thursday evening in Bunkerville.
Residents and council members praised militia members gathered there in support of embattled rancher Cliven Bundy, but had nothing but vitriol for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie and the local and national media.
"The day the militia [came] was the day I felt safe again in Nevada," one meeting attendee said.
The meeting was standing-room only. City council members had harsh criticism for the media's take on the standoff between Bundy and the BLM.
"I heard things said down there. And then when it came out on the air it was a completely different animal," Bunkerville Councilman Duane Magoon said.
"Tell the whole truth. Don't spin things to get your ratings," another council member added.
One council member criticized Gillespie, saying he's been AWOL in Bunkerville.
"I'm really disappointed in our sheriff for not being out here to protect the citizens who are out here," he said. One after another, Bunkerville residents criticized the BLM, calling it an example of overreaching government.
"It's insane and a way overreach of their power. They should be held accountable," a meeting attendee said.
"I called Metro, and their exact words to me were, ‘It's the BLM and Cliven Bundy's problem,' - and I should take it up with one of those two. There are my children and my community, and if Metro doesn't have the guts to come out and protect us – what are you here for? What are we paying you guys for?" another attendee said.
Despite reports of intimidation by armed militia, those gathered for the town hall had nothing but praise for them.
Well, considering how close they came to drilling each other full of holes the other day...for no particular reason...I think when the temperature goes up (and it gets very, very hot in Nevada by June), tempers will get shorter. Somebody's going to threaten someone else and...boom!
These are the guys who believe in 'Stand Your Ground'.
Rather than spend millions to round up these trespassing cattle, I think the government should get a bunch of Sarah Palin types and charge money to have them hunt them from the air. Clear them from the land that way.
BLM already does this with the wild horses........have you complained yet or just about wolves? You may want to look a little deeper in just who Palin supports for wolf kills, those wolves bring a certain group $$$$.
Once you find out, bet you and others don't say 1 thing about it!

When did I ever complain about wolves?
