Rancher is 'very upset' Bundy and crew tore out fence, warns them to stay off his property
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/201...se-federal-equipment-to-destroy-federal-fence
On Monday, Ammon Bundy dragged reporters out to remote section of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge so they could witness his militia tear out an 80-foot section of fence that bordered Tim Puckett’s ranch. Ammon Bundy said the rancher had asked them to help remove the fence so his cattle could graze on federal land.
The Oregonian reached Tim Puckett and he said not only did he not give them permission to tear out the fence, he’s "very upset":

Oregon Judge Plans to Bill the Bundy Militia $70,000 a Day to Cover County Security Costs
The small group of camouflage-clad, rifle-carrying, snack-deprived jamokes occupying a federal building in rural Oregon may have just met their match.
Harney County judge Steve Grasty has ordered Ammon Bundy to pay $70,000 a day in fines to cover the extra security costs the county has incurred since the occupation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge began. Security costs have included the blockade set up by the Sheriff’s office to protect local law enforcement from possible attacks by Bundy’s militants, as well as extra staffing to monitor the occupation.
...
Public schools in Harney County have finally re-opened, making it the first time the county’s students have returned to school since the occupation began on January 2nd. U.S. Fish and Wildlife employees, whose personal information was inside the wildlife refuge and likely obtained by the Bundy gang, have been relocated for their safety.
“As folks from out of town arrived over the past few weeks, harassment of our employees has increased,” Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Megan Nagel told KOIN 6 News, who added that agency employees have reportedly been harassed by militia supporters while conducting day-to-day errands. “While not direct physical threats, these activities are clearly designed to intimidate.”
These thugs need to spend a long time in jail.

"They're not coming onto my place no more," he said of the militants. "If they do, I'm gonna have to do something about it. I don't want them going across my ground."
Puckett said he has never spoken to Bundy, the leader of a militant group that has occupied the refuge headquarters compound since Jan. 2. The militants are protesting the federal government's land-use policies, advocating for public property to be turned over to local ranchers and loggers.
