Nevada ranching family claims victory as government releases cattle

95. Like Federal Agents have their hands clean.

There is a reason the US has a reputation for violence, and it's not just the NRA. The Feds will lie, steal, and kill as part of their jobs. Anyone that doesn't think so has just not been paying attention for the last 40 years. They go to this guy's ranch and start stealing his cows, and without those weapons in the hands of the protesters, they would have gotten away with it. This is still the same site that was livid about pat downs at the airport, right? About DHS agents showing up at Occupy protests? About people being put in for writing with chalk on the sidewalk outside banks? About Gitmo? These are all examples of members of the government "just doing their jobs." One of these people that steals from you or kills you is just doing his job. But you are still going to be dead. Your property is still going to be gone.
The Feds push their weight around all the time. This group gave a little push back. Compared to the crimes of the federal government, it was a infinitesimally minor push back. There were no shots fired. There was no deaths. Just a message from the protesters that any violence and theft from the Feds would be a bad idea. It kept things civil.
Just because some jerkoff in a black robe says the theft is ok, that it's the right thing to do, and that this guy owes money, doesn't make it true.
