Yeah, right.
Oh, and by the way, Cliven Bundy wants his supporters to go to Blanding, Utah, to take on the BLM: pic.twitter.com/cnEEdCFXL5

Sean Hannity’s good friend, Cliven Bundy is, once again, totally full of shit and trying to stir up violence against the BLM.
On June 10, 2009, Federal officials unsealed indictments against 24 people for looting Native American artifacts on public lands. Specific charges included violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), depredation and theft of government property, theft of Indian tribal property, violating the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and transportation of stolen property. That same day Blanding was the site of a related raid, and 16 local people were charged in the case. Federal agents cataloged and photographed items of interest held by these individuals, but did not seize them at that time. Commenting on the 21/2-year probe, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said, “[l]et this case serve notice to anyone considering breaking these laws and trampling our nation’s cultural heritage that the BLM, the Department of Justice and the federal government will track you down and bring you to justice.”
On June 11, one of the suspects from Blanding, Dr. James Redd, was found dead of an apparent suicide. The following day another suspect, Steven L. Shrader of Santa Fe, New Mexico, was found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
No one was murdered by SWAT teams. Two suspects committed suicide.
