Lawsuit: Cliven Bundy's Wandering Cows Allegedly Caused Car Crash

"To reach the interstate from Bundy's 160-acre ranch along the Virgin River, his cattle must cross miles of federal land for which the rancher holds no valid grazing permits."

1. This man only wants

'ownership' when it suits him.

[Plucketeer]

2. This rube doesn't recognize the federal govt..

It's not surprising he sees federal hiways (and their related responsibilities) as inconveniently placed impediments to his God-given freedoms.

[66 dmhlt]

36. Well, Cliven: If you don't recognize OUR Federal Government ...

Then you don't get to use OUR Constitution to protect YOUR sorry Welfare Queen ass.

And that would include the First AND Second Amendments!

[3catwoman3]

40. Excellent...

...point. Hypocrite of the highest order.

[medeak]

3. I had to build fence around 40 acre business park that fronts highway

as am liable by state law if any cattle get on road. That's the law in NV. There is hospital behind me but still cattle roaming on privately held commercial properties.
edited to say...will be most interested how this law suit turns out. But feel it's baseless with all the people I know with severe injuries from hitting cattle at night and the law does not hold the rancher responsible.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. I had to create a fence line alone once with a post hole digger and 1000's of feet of barbed wire...

It was to keep in horses.

I still look back on that and wonder how I managed to do it alone.

4. Bwahaha

6. Lawlessness is part & parcel of libertarianism

and libertarianism is the underlying philosophy of the Tea Party. Libertarianism can be quite elegant (though wrong, imo) at the upper echelons of rightwing thought, but at the Bundy level it's merely a macho attitude of "I do what I want and you can't stop me." Followers find that tough and romantic.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

9. ^

[FiveGoodMen]

14. "I do what I want and you can't stop me." appears to be true

What has our government done about this?

[SoapBox]

7. I hope she gets every dime out of this freak.

What a POS.

[Archae]

12. She won't get a dime.

Bundy has already showed his total contempt for "da rulz" that the rest of us abide by, you really think that asshole will pay any court judgment against him?

[lark]

16. She can collect - sooner or later

Take him to court, get a judgement, if he doesn't pay she can garnish any of his bank accounts. She can also have a lien placed on his property, which then can't be sold or inherited until the judgement in full is paid. She has him by the short hairs and needs to pull hard.

[NickB79]

23. His children would be foaming at the mouth if they couldn't get their inheritance

Good.

[StevePaulson]

38. You Can't Take His Land

With a heavily armed horde of inbred militia type wanna bees protektin' him. Unless the government wants to mow them down of course. Hey, I just got and idea.

[Skittles]

8. privatized profits, socialized risks

isn't that really what repukes are all about?

[tosh]

27. The very essence.

Yep.

[santamargarita]

10. Yep, Republican logic: blame something/someone else and don't pay the bill.

They do that with Wars too.

[Generic Other]

11. I wanna caption the picture this way:

"Go sue the cows!"

[tclambert]

13. NOW he believes in government.

I think I see his real philosophy: he supports whatever position lets him get away without paying anything.

[ksdascribe2]

15. That old man is as LAZY as they come!!!!

[SwankyXomb]

17. That kind of stupidity and selfishness

runs Bun-deep.

[narnian60]

18. What a freakin' jerk.

[7962]

19. Its NOT a state problem. Its his cattle, his responsibility

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. Serve him right to have a black judge rule on this.

[Enthusiast]

25. The negro?

[cstanleytech]

21. While bundy is a major asshole to be fair the quoted part being used left off a key part

from the article which is that it says "He said it is the state’s job to maintain the fence that keeps his livestock off the interstate."

[Bjorn Against]

29. So he won't pay grazing fees but he expects the government to pay to maintain the fence

He expects free use of the land for his own profit, but he also expects the government to pay for the maintenance of that land. Don't most Cliven Bundy supporters claim that they oppose free loading?

[cstanleytech]

31. Pretty much, I dont agree with his delusion though. nt

[SummerSnow]

22. He is such a turd. irresponsible moocher

[trusty elf]

37. ......

24. The feds should take Bundy in to custody.

They don't have to make a big deal out of it, just sneak in and grab him. Sneak out. Have a press conference the next day. Tell the media what kind of a moocher he is.

[chuckstevens]

30. Abso-fucking-lutely

When the President and Congressional Democrats are afraid of upholding the law, you know the party has lost its way. Nail this fucker and make an example out of him.

[VA_Jill]

26. OK

If his cattle are a "state responsibility", the state should round them up and butcher the damn things to feed the poor. Problem solved.

[barbtries]

28. he's really an enormously terrible person.

apparently never suffered a single consequence for any of his bad acts for his entire life.

[dballance]

32. Go fuck yourself Bundy.

I'm sure you happily use the roads, the sidewalks, the tap water provided to you and think that's just peachy.

There is this thing we all pay to support such great services. It's called a tax. Perhaps you should become familiar with doing your part and not living off the wages of others.

Oh, unless you read a different Bible than the one I read Jesus exalted the poor. He made clear statements about how difficult it would be for a rich man to enter Heaven.

[man4allcats]

33. Lock this stupid SOB up for allowing injury to come to this woman,

and give him a real taste of "the state."

[PatrickforO]

34. This guy really has the right wing 1.01% strategy down, doesn't he?

If things go well, pocket the profits and pay as little tax as possible.

If things don't go well, force the government to bail you out at taxpayer expense.

This is corporate socialism at its best. Bundy should be on Wall Street. He'd fit right in.

[TeamPooka]

35. What an asshole.

[wordpix]

39. the guy is completely out of control

someone needs to rein him in and let's hope it's this woman and the courts.

[heaven05]

41. mooching POS

talk about a welfare queen, he's a big one.

[narnian60]

42. I can't stand looking at him anymore.

Time to take that face off the homepage.

[Quixote1818]

43. Believe it or not he is actually being consistant here even though he is completely wrong

Nevada has open range laws which generally put the driver at fault for hitting livestock. He argues he has the right to graze the land and not pay even though its very clear that he doesn't. If he were to take responsibility he would be admitting he knows he is in the wrong in putting his cattle on BLM land. One thing he misses is the fact that open range laws in states do not apply to interstates so other ranchers who allow cattle on the interstate are liable. Even if he was allowed to graze land in Nevada he would still have to keep them off the interstates.
