On this Fellow

Yes, he was wrong (probably - the fact that his family had been grazing on that land since the 1880s makes it more complicated) and, yes, he is feeble-minded. But for the Bureau of Land Management to swoop in with 200 hyper-armed agents, low flying aircraft, attack dogs, tasers, helicopters, etc., massively cording off huge areas of land, killing the guy's cattle, and all of this craziness over GRAZING RIGHTS (this, while we have drug dealers flooding over our borders on a daily basis), is about as close to government overreach as you can get. I mean, why didn't they just put a lean on the guy's property and collect it when he expires? What, that's not confrontational enough?

IMO, proper forbearance was exhibited by both sides, although
a number of BradyThugs got into fights with each other. That land
belongs to you and me, as I see it: his as he sees it. Many decent ranchers see no problem in paying the low grazing fees on BLM land. A tempest in a teapot
by a sorry excuse for a US citizen, IMO.

Yuppers, he was wrong. But many of the anarcho libertarians made him out the victim/hero.

Got to love that thar Teapot Tea Party.

I don't disagree with you fellows but there is something to the old phrase, pick your battles wisely (something that the government never seems to do).
