They are moochers, waddling up to the public trough to feed for free, just like the Bundys have been doing for years. The judge has asked Cliven to prove he is too poor to afford an attorney, though, so we may see the biggest mooch of them all actually finally suffer some financial consequences for his thievery.

As to setting up funds to pay for their defenses, Ammon sucked up a lot of the "patriot" bucks early on and the efforts of those arrested afterwards aren't yielding much in way of donations. Poor babies are on their own.

Hopefully the Kochs and GoFundMe will be as unresponsive for money as other wingnuts were to their call for "patriots" to join them on their last stand. Crickets...

Investigation into LaVoy Finicum death concludes, results to be released Tuesday

Could've saved 'em some time:

• Clown flees 1st roadblock
• Clown crashes through 2nd roadblock
• Clown reaches for gun repeatedly
• Clown goes down

Maybe a three roadblock and visible gun rule applies when the victim is white.

They're getting grazing rights at 10-15% of market value. Seems like we're doing quite enough for them.

With the Bundy thugs not wanting to pay for the land nor wanting to tend their cattle, perhaps it's time to follow this to the logical conclusion, cut out the middleman and let the BLM take over the actual work involved with ranching. That way we could just "ranchers" like Cliven Bundy a quarterly check for the ranching he doesn't actually want to do on property he doesn't own. I'm betting he'd like that.

I do feel for his kids, though. What chance do you really have if you're raised in an environment where it's "cool" to break the laws you don't agree with?

The Arnold Law Firm has put out a call on their FB page to raise money for Ammon's defense. They're trying to raise $100,000. The Bundys and crew will keep lawyers fat and happy for years to come.

The Mexican herd are all American transplants.

Once the Great Plains were fenced in, all that changed forever. We are never going to ever see the herds of millions again.

The Bundys never had anything to do with buffalo anyway. All this stuff you posted was a stupid attempt at making a straw man argument.

This topic is about the Bundy Bunch's takeover of the Malheur Bird Refuge. In Oregon. No buffalo range there, and the incident had nothing at all to do with buffalo!

Have ever been to anywhere in Nevada, besides the south east side of the State?
Do you seriously think all of Nevada looks like the desert surrounding Vegas?

Ever hear of the Ponderosa?

Sure. The set was at Paramount (5555 Melrose), until the production was moved to the Warner lot out in Burbank.
