He got the "glorious" standoff with the Feds he dreamed of and became a martyr for whatever. History will remember the tarp. His family will remember a better side of him. The agent that shot him will probably remember something very different for the rest of his life.

I'd love to know their source of "inspiration" in all of this. It certainly has to be something more than the federal government giving grazing fees at less-than-market price. It has to be more than the Hammonds.

I can hypothesize it's "right wing media" and maybe that is part of it, but I don't think it's just that.

It's sure costly; whatever it is.
