Judge Threatens Bundy with Fine
When the government wants to destroy a citizen, they simply ruin them financially. Harney County judge Steve Grasty has now ordered Ammon Bundy to pay $70,000 a day in fines to cover the extra security costs to the government, which include the blockade set up by the Sheriff’s office to “protect” against possible attacks by Bundy’s group, along with extra staffing costs to “monitor” the situation.
The government is up for the conflict, and they will not be challenged.
“We’re going to send Mr. Bundy the bill,” Grasty said at a town hall meeting on Monday night, encouraging residents to let the militia dry up its own resources. “No matter how you feel, do not bring food and supplies up to the refuge.”
At that same town hall meeting, Harney County sheriff David Ward made it clear that Bundy’s gang wasn’t welcome in their community.
“There’s an hourglass, and it’s running out,” Ward said. “Go home.”
Bundy has not yet responded to the fine, but it may be that this will break the back of the demonstration. When there were urban riots and destruction by Black Lives Matter protesters in the last two years, the government gave up and let the rioters have their way. Of course, they were destroying other peoples property and businesses.
In this case, the government is determined to show that no one can mess with government property. Citizens are getting tired of government overreach and heavy handed tactics, and future challenges to the government are inevitable.

Angel Toro really what happened to Eric Holder when he had an armed protest at the ROTC? Oh I guess its a double standard huh. Go figure.
Long live #VanilaISIS!
That tired old Article 1, section 8, clause 17 b******t again? When are you dummies going to learn how to read and then learn reading compression?
FFS, Chris Butler the Constitution IS very clear about federal control of land in the United States but you might want to consider looking in Article 4, section 3, clause 2. Interesting known as the “Property Clause”…easy to understand, even for idiotic teabaggers and conservative dolts.
“The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to Prejudice any Claims of the United States, or of any particular State.”
In your words I have to ask, do you even care how utterly ignorant you sound?

“Along with peaceful protests, there was looting and violent unrest in the vicinity of the original shooting. There was police militarization when dealing with protests in Ferguson.”
Unlike Ferguson, so far the incident in Oregon is peaceful and there is no police militarism…the two incidents are apples and oranges.
I guess after these armed morons get tired of their Brokeback Mountain group encounter, it’ll be time for bird-watchers to take over the standoff…then the hikers will get the baton…the the horticulturists.
Oh wait, in the low-information minds of some of you, the land belongs only to those fortunate enough to live on its boundries and have or want cattle.

Ryan Bronson You should have Prefaced that with “in other unrelated and false news”..lol First of all holder participated in a peaceful “sit in” protest at the ROTC office, the “armed” part was added by one of your co-hort ‘tin foil mafia'” types.. It didn’t happen. 2nd, it has absolutely nothing to do with you saying that the Fed gov’t can’t own land, which entirely false. Stay on topic, but if decide to add something unrelated, try to make sure it’s true before posting.
It’s not the federal government at all.
It’s the local county judge that wants the money.
Sorry Carol Amos but if you continue reading all the way to the Property Clause in Article IV, you’ll see that the federal government does have the Constitutional power to own and protect land in the United States.
By the way, did someone at a teabagger rally hand out this Article I, section 8, clause 17 nonsense?
B******t… The tax payers own it….
How much were the thugs who occupied Wall Street charged.
It is our land please feel free to use it all you want!! The judge is on the liberal government side! I had a friend drive the there 6 days ago and was harassed by FBI for stopping to text!!
