My News 3LAS VEGAS (KSNV MyNews3.com) — A son of Mesquite rancher Cliven Bundy has been arrested by Bureau of Land Management rangers.
Dave Bundy was arrested about 4:30 p.m. Sunday as he was in a car parked along State Route 170 near Mesquite.
“He was there to do some filming when about 11 federal agents pulled up and arrested him,” Bundy told News 3. “They said he was outside of the First Amendment area and they took him down. We don’t know where he is now.”
The BLM confirmed the arrest in an emailed statement:
“An individual is in custody in order to protect public safety and maintain the peace,” BLM spokeswoman Kirsten Cannon wrote. “The individual has rights and therefore details about the arrest will not be disclosed until and unless charges are filed.”
Cliven Bundy is embroiled in a dispute with the BLM and National Park Service over the court-order removal of his cattle from 1,200 square miles of northeast Clark County. The cattle have been grazing on public land for more than 20 years since his grazing permit was revoked in 1993.
Contracted cowboys removed 58 head of cattle Sunday to go with 75 head impounded Saturday. The government’s plan is to have all cattle removed within 30 days.
Most of 600,000 acres of public land in the northeast part of the county has been temporarily closed to the public during the impound operation being conducted by contracted cowboys from a company in Utah.
The First Amendment areas are designated by the government for people to express their free speech rights about the subject.
Small protests were held Saturday morning on one of the areas and another was held in Mesquite.
Earlier Saturday, one of Bundy’s daughter’s was “harassed” by five BLM rangers while she was parked along the same road. Bundy said they threatened to give Stephey Cox several tickets and take her to court.
He said Cox told the BLM rangers they did not have jurisdictional or arrest powers.
“But what was bad is there was a Nevada State Highway trooper within about a hundred feet of all this action and he didn’t come to help her,” Bundy said. “She said I will recognize his (the trooper’s) jurisdictional authority if he would just come and tell me to move or whatever and he would not come and so they harassed her for quite awhile.”
Bundy told News 3 that he hopes that Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie will step in and end the dispute and confiscation of his cattle.
“The federal government has no jurisdiction or authority here,” Bundy said. “The sheriff has unlimited constitutional authority, arresting and policing powers and all he has to do is say no and this thing would be over. Those people would back out and move out of here.”
Bundy said he was considering a possible lawsuit as another course of action.
He did not make any more physical threats such as he made Saturday, but he did compare the action to Ruby Ridge and Waco, Texas, where citizens were killed in confrontations with the federal goverment.
“They are the same agents who killed that kid over at Red Rocks,” Bundy said, referring to the Feb. 14 fatal shooting of a 20-year-old by two BLM rangers.
In a Sunday afternoon news conference call, Lake Mead National Recreation Area spokeswoman Christie Vanover, said the government’s hopes violence will be avoided.
“We support everyone’s rights to express themselves lawfully and peacefully, but when threats are made that could jeopardize the safety of the American people, the contractor and our personnel, we have the responsibility to provide law enforcement to account for their safety.”
Vanover said the cost of the impoundment action won’t be know until the event is concluded. Some estimates have placed it as high as $3 million.
It seems it is all slowly beginning . I think its all related, the banker suicides the cia agent that jumped the other day, the disappearance/ murdering of the homeless people. Taking us out slowly (people who resist) or know dirt etc..
My Fellow Americans,
Christie Vanover, said the government’s hopes violence will be avoided.
“We support everyone’s rights to express themselves lawfully and peacefully, but when threats are made that could jeopardize the safety of the American people, the contractor and our personnel, we have the responsibility to provide law enforcement to account for their safety.”
Allow me to interrupt this commie speak:
“We hope they simply knuckle under our fascist regime, and do not put up any resistance.
Everyone has a right to express themselves,.. as long as what they say agrees with us.
When threats are made against our despotic and tyrannical orders,… we MUST move in a squash any such show of resistance with ruthlessness and blinding violence.
Well my fellow Patriots – this War On America has just been nudged up a little higher, hasn’t it.
JD – US Marines – These are HARD CORE commies, fascists,.. you know,… PYSCHOPATHS,… they will NOT back down or go away,… EVER,… until, “We The People” eradicate them from our lands, body politics and banking system.
Hi Foehammer,
I meant to post the above response as a separate posting.
In response to your comment,… absolutely!
Most people don’t realize that these dead banksters, the Boston Bombing, the Connecticut Newtown Shooting Hoax, Crash of 2008, 9/11, Gulf Of Tonkin, Kennedy Assassination, Chem trails, GMO’s, and thousands of other events are all part and pacel of the same mechanism seeking to destroy this country, and enslave the world,… literally.
JD
If there is an area where the amendments that serve the people are not active, there is an even larger area where the establishment of a federal government under the constitution is not active and I propose that that area is everywhere outside the 10 square mile location of the federal government in DC. Anywhere outside this area the rules, laws, codes, and any other hogwash that spews forth form it is null and void. They carry no authority and are merely thugs and crooks and should be treated as such by all our systems of society.
Freedom of speech and everything else enjoys a place that covers the entire planet, those who do not like it are free to leave.
“They said he was outside of the First Amendment area and they took him down. We don’t know where he is now.”
I am really getting sick of hearing about “1st Amendment Areas”!!!
The entire country is covered by the 1st ARTICLE. This is the same as the BS “Constitution Free” Zone they claim. Bullcrap.
Hi Bulldog,
Well,.. they are right about a “First Amendment Area”,…. its simply anyplace called the United States!,.. not the cattle corrals they set up.
This means every square inch from the Atalntic to the Pacific oceans, from Canada, to Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, is a “1st Amendment Zone”,.. bar none.
JD – US Marines – This tactic of these “speech zones” is simply another ruse in chipping and stealing away our basic, UNALIENABLE Rights
…yep!…Those of us who have been screaming to the roof about such things…we just sit here in amazement…”free-speech-zones”…what an effn’ oxymoron…..we have tried to tell people for decades that once you give them some such illogical BS as “free-speech zones”….they would ride us to death with it…now is the time for everyone to stand up and tell them to go to hell….I don’t care if the Chairman of The Joint Chiefs…the President….The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court says it…..there are no such things as “free speech zones”….and if they try to shut me up…I’ll defend my rights with revolution (and when appropriate,…violence)…directed towards the corrupt agencies of our society (and their soldiers)… that are infringing up on our rights… and if… “law enforcement”… or the gangsters that run these agencies don’t like it…tough shit…you shouldn’t have been corrupt in the first place and you should not have violated your oath… remember .. you are the criminals among us…and I will not have my rights simply legislated away by corrupt gangsters….fu*k your free speech zone

So now a American has been arrested for what ,!!!! filming??? man that’s
a crime, how!!!
Like i keep saying every day that goes by these communist bastards take
more of our god given rights from us talking will not work, if words worked then the revolutionary war would not have been fought, we all have to step
up, and NOW.
As stated earlier, there should be no “first amendment areas” or “constitution free” zones. I really wish more Americans stood up for the law of the land like you guys. You give these bastards an inch and they take a light year.
“An individual is in custody in order to protect public safety and maintain the peace,” BLM spokeswoman Kirsten Cannon wrote. “The individual has rights and therefore details about the arrest will not be disclosed until and unless charges are filed.”
So they are basically holding him illegally without charge. Sounds like they are enacting the unconstitutional NDAA on this guy.
“An individual is in custody in order to protect public safety and maintain the peace,”
So what they are really trying to say is that they are holding him illegally so that he doesn’t cause an interference or disruption when they go and raid the place. Hang the Commies!
So, is the Militia going to step in and help the rancher?
Just asking.
Sounds to me like people are already there. Course if we worked real hard, we could just talk everybody out of it by putting forth the enemies “It’s futile to resist, nobody’s going to do anything about it” propaganda. God forbid we step up and speak positively as men.
Just saying.
Is Mark K. Commenting on it in one of his programs today?
He talked about it on the Morning Intel. I imagine he’ll hit it this afternoon.
Why don’t the providers of lodging, gasoline and eating establishments in the area refuse to do business with these gobmint officials and LEO’s. Same goes for the so called “cowboys” assisting in gathering. Don’t serve the bastards, it’s your right.
My head is spinning! Linda blair in The exorcist has nothing on me right now, so pis5ed don’t know where to begin or end on this article!
“Bureau of Land Management rangers.” ?????
Useful Idiots……
” First Amendment area” ?????
“The First Amendment areas are designated by the government for people to express their free speech rights about the subject.”
Paid servents have no right designating an area for “Free speach”. WTF are they smoking? Obviously too much of the stuff they confiscate!
“An individual is in custody in order to protect public safety and maintain the peace,”
Always for child safety, public safety. BS I’d feel safer if Dave Bundy hadn’t been dissapeared.
“The individual has rights and therefore details about the arrest will not be disclosed until and unless charges are filed.”
Then they just admitted they denied Dave Bundy his rights, that they have kidnapped him and a whole slew of other crimes.
“Most of 600,000 acres of public land in the northeast part of the county has been temporarily closed to the public ”
In the name of safety, don’t ya know?!?
“during the impound operation being conducted by contracted cowboys from a company in Utah.”
So they took out a contract(s) on this family….hmmmm…….
“Bundy said he was considering a possible lawsuit as another course of action.”
As the whole family & indiviually, should sue each individual personally, that has taken part in this from the beginning for breach of contract and the rest of the crimes each one of these useful idiots particpated in/or contributed to/commited.
Grrrrrr!!!!!
Not sure about Mr Jones, but the story is here and is worth a read.

Has this land been designated a “World Heritage” site? If there is an “endangered” species on it i think it may become a “World Heritage Site”, and would ultimately be the jurisdiction of the UN.
Well how many BLM guys are there altogether? Can’t they just eradicate the entire office and all its employees?
It’s probably less than a dozen goons and no one’s going to miss ’em.
