They came armed with pistols, rifles and machine guns and they paraded about town as if they were filming a scene for a movie about the Wild Wild West.
Their goal was simple – do whatever they had to do, including putting their women on the front lines so they could be killed when the shooting began – all to make sure Cliven Bundy continued breaking the law.
Well an investigation has begun, and these militia members could soon realize that this is not a movie about the Wild Wild West, but a land of rules and laws.
Las Vegas TV station KLAS reported Thursday that the FBI has begun interviewing Clark County sheriff’s officials in what the news station describes as a “formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations” on the part of the Bundy militia.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie confirmed to KLAS that FBI agents asked him whether he saw Bundy supporters point guns at metro police officers during last month’s showdown, but declined to share what he told the agents.
Federal authorities with the Bureau of Land Management ended their round-up of Bundy’s cattle on April 12 over safety concerns. Hundreds of protesters, some armed, had gathered at the site to support the rancher. Those militias continued to maintain an armed presence on roads around Bundy’s ranch well after the federal authorities withdrew.
