Treeper Update: Small update from the ground, federal guys don’t much like being filmed according to the ranchers, they were told if they didn’t stop filming they’d be arrested. They resisted, more showed up and the feds backed off. Another group of folks showed up and ran a few feds off.
Rancher friends are also disgusted with how they’re running the cattle to death and say most of them won’t live to be rounded up. Ranchers were also told to get back to the 1st amendment zone, ranchers told them they carry their 1st amendment with them and pulled out the constitution. lol
Not sure how many people have showed up as they keep coming in batches, but a lot of Nevadans and a lot of Americans from across the country. (facebook link)
