Wrote: The Bundy standoff was an armed confrontation between protesters and law enforcement that developed from a 20-year legal dispute between the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and cattle rancher Cliven Bundy, over unpaid grazing fees on federally owned land in southeastern Nevada.
The ongoing dispute started in 1993, when, in protest against changes to grazing rules, Bundy declined to renew his permit for cattle grazing on BLM-administered lands near Bunkerville, Nevada.
But no one reads Wikipedia anyway.
What?
That's exactly what has already been stated several times in regards to Cliven Bundy's 2014 stand-off, F.U. It's nothing new or contradictory to what's been posted in this thread.
The 2016 Oregon stand-off is a separate incident involving some of the same players; it is not about Cliven Bundy's unpaid Nevada grazing fees -- UNLESS you somehow spoke with Ammon and Ryan Bundy and they told you that they were lying when they claimed their occupation of the Oregon wildlife center started in defense of the Hammonds and morphed into a demand that Federal land be turned over to local authorities and/or ranchers.
