Bureaucrat in Tactical Gear Menaces Rancher
Family cattle ranchers personify America as it used to be. Federal agents in tactical gear personify what liberals are turning it into. So this story is emblematic:
A South Dakota ranch couple is fighting federal indictments served to them by a U.S. Forest Service agent who allegedly showed up unannounced on their front steps — armed and in tactical gear.
The paramilitary goon was Special Agent Travis Lunders, who came to intimidate Charles and Heather Maude of Caputa, South Dakota and to serve them with indictments for alleged theft of government property.
The government claims the fence put up by the ranchers is over a boundary with federal grasslands.
The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine. …
Several generations of the Maude family have ranched there since the 1910s, and the family also has leases on the adjoining national grasslands…
The disputed boundary is along a fence line that’s about 75 years old…
After 75 years, it is suddenly urgent that the Maude family be punished, presumably for letting their cattle graze on the wrong side of the disputed boundary. In the olden days, bureaucrats didn’t understand that producing food offends the weather gods, whereas letting land go to waste makes the weather gods happy, because like Democrats they hate humans.
Also in the olden days, Americans would not have put up with ham-fisted Nazi tactics of the type we now see more and more often (e.g., Mark Houck and Roger Stone).
