I didn't assume anything in those regards... I just made the comment that you must have enjoyed the confrontation in Nevada since you would enjoy a confrontation between SWAT and your Tenants

This... I don't care how cut and dry you think it is that the Feds are in the right, its not that simple. There is so much grey area, who was managing the land, who was accepting payments, what was supposed to be done, what wasn't done, etc...

Exactly. If you are equating the Federal government with a private citizen. Then the following holds true.

Private citizen (Bundy) enters into agreement with another private citizen (government) to perform services at an agreed upon rate. Private citizen (Government) refuses to live up to the agreement by refusal of services and mismanagement of assets. Under a private contract, private citizen (government) has breached said contract and deemed the contract null and void.

End of story.

Why would I enjoy the government using armed force to evict someone who is in their rights?

Jesus.

fricking.

Christ.

I never said they were. I simply said that if they were, they were justified in using the force they did.

This thread started out with everyone assuming Bundy was in the wrong, but then claiming that the government was wrong to use the force they did. I disagree. If Bundy's in the wrong, then the feds were right to use the force they did.

The problem is that I believe Bundy may not be in the wrong. However the court has decided against him. Why aren't any of you bemoaning the court's decision? Isn't that where any injustice may be occurring?
