So apparently the Bureau of Land Management was corralling some guys cattle out of public land (or government land, as the BLM claim) in Nevada. Supposedly the cattle rancher and his predecessors have been using the land for decades. They came to a dispute, and a bunch of people in various militias started flying in to the cattle ranchers home. The BLM released the cattle they had rounded up and have ceased using any sort of force to enforce what they're claiming their jurisdictions are. Overall they got a weak stomach over coming to blows, as many of the militiamen were armed and ready to fight.
There's some questionable stuff that went on prior to this final event. The BLM marked off "1st amendment zones" where people could protest that was nowhere near their operations, and they used what could be said to be intimidation tactics. This whole thing kind of sets a different kind of precedence for action that I'm used to hearing about. I can't find a ton on this event by any mainstream media other than ABC. There's a major difference in opinion about the events, basically a "freeloaders need to pay rent for government land vs. government has too much say in things" camps. What do you Europeans think about all this?

This is a picture of a standoff between BLM enforcement and the militia members.
