There were over 300 locals demonstrating in Burns against the militia's. There were about 200 outsiders, with just a handful of locals, demonstrating for Bundy's felons. Had it not been a workday, there would have been significantly more people telling the militia that they were unwelcome. Which brings up another point, how is it that the members of the militia's can live without an income. Guess what, most of them are supported by Uncle Sugar.
Here Is How The Bundy Militia Standoff Couldn’t Exist Without Government Funding
It's funny how any other protest, and you support the people against injustice, until it's a group you don't like, and then they are evil militias.
Look, here's the problem..... Do you know what Feudalism is?
Without getting deep into mechanics, basically the government (Feudal Lord), owns all the land. The peasants 'rent' the land on behalf of the government.
Our country was built on the idea of individuals owning the land. We were never supposed to be a Feudal system.
The percentage of the state in red, is how much of the state land, is owned by the Federal Government.
Out west, there are states like Nevada, where 85% of the entire freakin state... is owned by the Federal Government! It's not supposed to be that way. We are not supposed to be a Feudal system, where the government owns the land, and we are good little peasants paying rent to use... what is supposed to be OUR LAND.
It's ridiculous.
Now do I support grabbing a bunch of guns and taking over out houses? No, not so much. But.... this hatred of the Federal Government, is going to grow and grow, until you guys stop treating the people out west, like they are peasants that owe the rest of us rent, to use their own land.
This problem likely won't go away.
