That’s flouted, WidowW.
And yep I hope they don’t miss a single yahoo’s name.

They’re also trampling natural habitat that is restricted.
"Commissioner Phil Lyman, the protest’s organizer, says it was designed to show that the federal agency isn’t the “supreme authority” and local residents have a right to have their opinions heard"
He’s gonna get a nice lesson in who has got what rights, designed to show him that he and his yahoos are not the only stakeholders.

What assholes. It will be interesting to see if they actually get prosecuted.
Of course, if they were black or brown, they would have simply been shot in the back, but I’m getting into Captain Obvious territory…

Flouted, not flaunted. Yikes! I think I was smarter many decades ago. Thanks for the correction.
clearly the blm should find the graves of the ancestors of these 40 to 50 protestors so that the navajo and hopi people can party on top of them with their atvs

How sad that so-called patriots can only find the call-to-arms through limitations on recreational activities. Perhaps the skate-boarders should rise up against all the tyranny in every City that states ‘no skateboarding’!
It sounds like these yahoos have too much free time and too much money on their hands.

Hey, that’s a very good comparison, TwoWolves. Jet ski douchebags can also put on on a frothy, churning exhibition "designed to show that the harbor regulators aren’t the “supreme authority” and the jerkoffs indeed have a right to have their whining engines revved up in in sensitive locales. Where do such “rights” come from? The popping open of beer cans? They also have the right to go to jail to send a strong message if they don’t pay the resulting fines, yahoo!!

These people are not anarchists. Anarchists would never behave this way. I know because I consider myself a believer in anarchism. Anarchists believe in a certain set of guidelines by which they behave themselves and treat other people with respect and consideration. This includes the environment, something which most anarchists consider sacred and something that deserves to be protected. If you investigate further, you will find that most anarchists are also environmentalists. They are not lawless hooligans could just go around destroying things, despite the fact that the media often depicts them as such.

You know what? I think I’ll go rob a bank on Monday. I mean, the FBI isn’t the “supreme authority.” And hell, I really like money. So I should have the right to express my opinion about how much I like money by robbing that bank with impunity, right?

If they have the right to ride their ATVs there for recreation, others have the right to stretch concertina wire across the trails at the back end of blind corners right? Strictly for recreational purposes, of course.

This is pure speculation, but perhaps resourcing for BLM is pretty lean these days after repeated cuts targeted at their non-entitlement, non-defense budget line items? Capability is reduced when budget is reduced beyond a certain level. I strongly suspect that the ridiculously low Tax:GDP ratio the US has is responsible for the govt not being able to do a lot of what you’d hope…

Emboldened no doubt by those yahoos in NV and legitimized by Fox News. Some photos that accompany the story in other news outlets show toddlers and small children being held precariously aboard these ATVs with no safety protection. Looks like child endangerment to me.

Let them try riding around the Koch Brothers’ property on their ATVs. I bet they would be shot on sight. Since conservatives don’t respect property rights any longer, let them fight it out amongst themselves.

Using them as human shields no doubt. These cowards aren’t fooling anyone. They obviously don’t have a brain in their heads.

Sort of like the Wall Street frauds who used their corporate citizen free speech rights to lie to investors and caused the September 2008 worldwide banking and credit meltdown. The GOP really attracts flies and maggots.

Sorry. I see no shade of “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,” in some bunch of derelicts riding their RZRs wherever they feel like.

These yahoos give anarchism a bad name. Technically, they are “bourgeois anarchists”, now known as “libertarian anarchists”; mostly known for their opportunism and selfishness. You, Wheeler 58, are a “collaborative anarchist” or a “socially conscious anarchist”; apparently willing to consider your impact on others and the environment. See Murray Bookchin, “Post Scarcity Anarchism”.
Only a coward would ride a single friggin’ mile and then, turn around and flee from the Feds.
Where are the true Bundy-patriots here?
