I have still seen no evidence that this happened. You should stop saying it. If at some point in the future I become convinced that this is an accurate description of what happened, I would absolutely agree that it was out of line.
To be clear, this is objectionable:
1. Feds swoop in and surround ranch with snipers while rounding up trespassing cattle
This is much less objectionable:
1. Feds begin rounding up trespassing cattle
2. Rancher declares "The Range War begins tomorrow"
3. Feds respond with heavy armed presence including snipers
Which of these timelines is closer to the truth?
