Militiamen move on from Bundy fight to next battle with BLM
(Just a personal note on this article, Mr. Ryan Payne of Montana with OMA = dangerous fringe element of Militia, most Normal common sense American Militia don't want anything to do with the OMA or Ryan Payne as he and his buddies act more like the BLM Thuggery/Bully type, and cause chaos in Militia camps like the ones outside the Bundy Ranch on purpose, the OMA has a goal of starting a war with Feds, like anarchists, not to be trusted, I hope Payne who loves power, Media attention leaves Utah and goes home to Montana to Annaconda and stays there for everyones safety. Real Oathkeepers / III % ers and other Patriot groups steer Clear of OMA / Ryan Bundy types, why many left the Bundy Ranch to keep the peace since Ryan Payne was assaulting leadership members of other groups for personal gain, power trip, which did weaken the security at the ranch. As the Real Patriot Millitia groups say, Ryan Payne OMA types are the 'Fruits and Nuts types' that get people hurt. So they seek out conflict to promote violence similar to occupyiers of a few years ago OMA dangerous for everyone and not to be trusted, but very slick speakers)

Militiamen and woman camping on Cliven Bundy’s cattle ranch are packing up and heading to Utah where another protest against the Bureau of Land Management will happen Saturday.
"This is where it’s happening Saturday,” he said.
They and others Saturday will be armed, he said, and ride ATVs into Recapture Canyon, an area the BLM declared off-limits to motorized vehicles in 2007. The ride is organized by San Juan County, Utah, Commissioner Phil Lyman.
Payne met Friday morning with the San Juan County, Utah, Sheriff Rick Eldridge. Afterward, he said he expects Saturday’s protest to be peaceful because Eldridge pledged to “protect us from the BLM.”
Payne characterized their discussion, saying Eldridge has contacted other sheriff’s departments who “stated that if he needed support to get the BLM out of there, they would help.”
Also in Utah this week, two people in a pick-up confronted a BLM wrangler on Interstate 15. They drove by wearing hoods and held a sign that said, “You need to die.” One of the men pointed a handgun at the wrangler, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
At Recapture Canyon, federal officials aren’t planning to send armed federal agents to the Utah protest like they did with the Bundy ranch in April. The BLM’s show of force, including tasering one of Bundy’s sons, helped spark a heavily armed confrontation between federal agents and the Bundy militia on April 12.
Megan Crandall, BLM Utah spokeswoman, told The Durango Herald the BLM will not be sending “reinforcements” to the area.
Eldridge was out at the scene of tomorrow’s protest, a woman who answered the phone at the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office said. She pointed to the office’s Facebook page, which contained this statement today:
“San Juan County Sheriff's deputies will be at the event in Recapture Canyon on Saturday, May 10th. Our deputies will be there to keep the peace and protect the Constitutional rights of everyone involved. We feel this will be a peaceful event and encourage everyone to be respectful to one another and allow individuals to exercise their First Amendment right.”
Payne said Eldridge’s stance is “180 degrees” different than the reaction from the Clark County sheriff’s office during the Bundy-BLM confrontation.
“This is a continuation of the Bundy affair,” Payne said of the protest. “But it kind of shows the flipside of what happens when the sheriff upholds his oath.”
Similar to the Bundy Ranch fight, this one has gone on for years and has been tinged with strong rhetoric. In 2011, someone posted “Wanted, Dead or Alive” posters near the canyon, the Salt Lake Tribune reported, threatening a group that wanted more protection for the area.
