| Mr Khan said: This i have to agree with. Overreach is a problem, and now they have a PR nightmare where the militia wingnuts look like they're in the right of things, when really it was about a deadbeat refusing to pay for use of land that he doesn't own. Frame it as a property thing from the government's side and you'd have the left-wing protestors out instead |
Well, I'm not so sure that he just doesn't want to pay. Hell, I'm not even sure he could afford to pay given the strictures they were placing on him. Look at this way: the heavy-handedness of the BLM is the reason he's the only rancher left out there. So it's quite possible that he sincerely felt backed into a corner here, and it seems overly uncharitable to automatically assume that he's simply a mooch who is saw an opportunity to do some grandstanding.
