Co-chair of Trump veterans' group pleads guilty in 2014 Bundy standoff

Actually his family has had the use of these lands for 100 years. The fed starts buying the land then restricts it from his largess cattle herd that has used it for grazing forever.
So the story goes.

SGM Barry Kindred - I regress, fed started claiming the lands, not buying it.
Sorry.

My family owned a 1500 acre land grant in Virginia from the king of England at one time. That doesn't make it mine now. Those are public lands meaning we as a country own them. Many other cattlemen paid to graze those lands and other public lands. He chose not to and it caught up with him.

They should have made that sucker pay all the money back his family has stolen from the American people.
