Were they really not guilty?



The Bundy's were fighting over grazing rights and the Feds taking over lands. Others were opportunist militants that joined up with the "cause". The militants are rejects that lied about their military experience and the only one with military experience is pretty psycho that gives right wingers a bad name.

The Bundy's have used Federal land for years worth of free grazing and Uncle Same wants to get paid. There's a lot to it and I guess it depends on how you feel about the US taking over whole states like the pretty much have done in Oregon.

Not exactly. After the US govt. Took over vast areas of the West from the original indigenous occupants (usually via bogus treaties) the land was offered to white settlers. The settlers took the best land and left the mountains, deserts, etc. in federal hands. BLM, USFS, etc. manage those lands under a multiple-use mandate. Those lands belong to all of us and ranchers, farmers, timber companies, etc. should pay us fair market value to use them for commercial purposes. The occupants were in the WRONG.
