As I lay here in the back of my SUV, I just can't get to sleep. Something's been bugging me ever since I parked at one of the camps that have been set up here and it's this: something is seriously wrong with a country in which an ordinary non-military and non-militia citizen is knowingly within a sniper's sights twice in the same week, yet experiences totally different emotions each time. Let me explain. Last Saturday I was one of many who stood behind the cowboys in the wash... at the standoff. I knew there were federal snipers both on the ground and in the helicopters buzzing around. I was terrified and feared for my life and prayed that both the BLM and my fellow protestors would exercise caution, restraint and discipline as those cowboys advanced towards that gate.
Now fast forward a week. I'm pulling up to one of the campsites. I'm asked a few questions, then welcomed into camp and told where I can park. I won't go into detail about how I know or why but let's just say that I am very confident that, although only briefly, once again, a distant marksman had me in his sights. But this time was different. After a brief (and justified) startled feeling, I began to immediately feel at ease. It made me feel protected. It made me feel proud that I could be here with people who are watching over everyone here, including watching over "the watchmen". God bless America, our constitution, our veterans and our troops! #bundyranch #clivenbundy #harryreid
