The Bundy Ranch Standoff
When the U.S. government declared the Mojave desert tortoise an endangered species in 1989, it effectively marked the cattle ranchers of Nevada's Clark County for extinction.
Tomorrow will be 11 years ago that I came to witness the fed-led standoff on the Bundy Ranch.
This picture is from 2 years ago when I visited the Bundy home, sat at Mrs. Carol's table, and rode the range with Cliven and his cowboys.
I'll be back there tomorrow at the Bundy Ranch on the anniversary of this event. Vincent Easley II

...the BLM no longer wanted the ranchers' fees. It wanted them off the range...

A key to understanding the political world lies in realizing that the words terrorism and terrorist are inherently political terms. This has been clear in international affairs, but we now see this in domestic matters... #OregonStandoff #BundyRanch
Terrorism is the use of violence against noncombatants for a political purpose.
