FOX News reporting that BLM will leave Bundy ranch

[Dianne]

FOX just broke this story, but I can't find anything in print yet. BLM announced for the safety of the public and their employees (LOL), they will leave the Bundy Ranch in Nevada within the next day or two.

Can anyone confirm?

Have all the cattle been stolen already?

To be replaced by the FBI, I'm sure.

BREAKING NEWS: BLM ends roundup of Bundy cattle
Updated: Apr 12, 2014 12:43 PM EDT

LAS VEGAS -- The Bureau of Land Management has announced it will stop the roundup of cattle owned by rancher Cliven Bundy. The BLM says the animals have been illegally grazing on public lands for 20 years.

The BLM made the announcement Saturday morning, a week after rangers started gathering the animals off land near Gold Butte.

The agency says it is concerned about the safety of its employees and the public.

BLM out? FBI coming in full force?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Well, the feds peacefully backing down out of fear is pretty much the best this thing could have gone. Watch it, them Arizona people might get a taste of that liberty stuff. Then Lord only knows what'll happen to John McCain...

This. Exactly this. They'll pull back, wait until everybody leaves. Then storm back in.

No, but I think the rest of it will be in court rooms and such. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they are backing off out of altruism lol. I think Obama just caught wind of the PR disaster this was going to be and decided not to risk it.

Especially with Reid's dirty hands all over this. This is a bit different than David Koresh with multiple child wives. It's not as spinnable.

We have a model going forward. Call to arms. Physical/financial show of support. Internet activism. Video, video, video.

Indeed.

Well, for the first time in quite a while I feel very proud !!!! Although that pride may be short lived, I feel we the people finally obtained a victory.

I'm so proud of the Oathkeepers, other groups, Bundy's community, and other individuals brave enough to fight this battle on behalf of American citizens.

IF we did stop this thing from going Waco, and that's an if I am still holding on to until further information develops, then that would be big news. It would be the first time the public backed Washington down on one of these. Pretty sure ever. Umm. The WW1 Bonus Army may have done the same kind of thing?

Mr. Bundy demands that the BLM lay down their arms at the base of a flag within one hour? Did I hear that correctly on the livefeed?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

And note that concerns over public safety are the thinnest veil ever for "we thought those buggers might rise up, so we backed off." AFAIK everyone going up there was 100% committed to sue for peace, but had also fully prepared for war had the BLM chosen to make it against them. Washington made the right choice, finally. Saving lives, and maintaining a shred of credibility. But this also sends an important message to activists: The beast can be faced down. That will encourage similar activism in the future.

They definitely had intercepted some of the communications going back and forth between the various units. It was greenlit.
