On my way back at noon today (Monday), I observed fourteen LV Metro Police units leaving the Bunkerville area and traveling toward Las Vegas.
LVMPD officers were in Bunkerville to prevent violence. They are no longer there. This may possibly leave the Bundy family in a vulnerable position.
I also observed two BLM dump trucks with several white SUV's blocking access to the part of the I -15 overpass at the Bunkerville/Riverside exit near the Bundy Ranch.
There is no logical reason the BLM is still in the Bunkerville area!
I cannot help but fear that a small contingent of heavily armed BLM operatives could possibly block the one road leading to the Bundy Ranch, thereby stopping those who would respond to an alert from the family.
If the BLM decides to retaliate for being forced to stand down, they could now have their way with the Bundys without witnesses, media, or LVMPD standing by.
Because Metro Police and media were present, Saturday's confrontation did not end in violence.
If my premonition is correct, only one side of the story will be told.
All this for the sake of a few tortoises and cows?
The value of human life is not comparable to the well being of animals. This is NOT about protecting endangered species or violation of grazing laws. If their goal was only to protect animals, the BLM would not need to carry assault rifles.
There's is much more to this story.
