"Better Have Funeral Plans!" Nevada County Commissioner Says to Cattle Ranch Supporters
(by Paul Joseph Watson) -- Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins has caused outrage by remarking that Utahns planning to travel to Nevada to support Cliven Bundy in his standoff against the feds "better have funeral plans".
The comments were revealed by Darin Bushman, a Piute County, Utah, commissioner after he spoke with Collins about Utah ranchers and his colleagues on the County Commission complaining about tactics used by Bureau of Land Management agents during their seizure of Bundy's cattle in southern Nevada.
"I was just told by commissioner Collins of Clark County NV that all of us folks from Utah are a bunch of "inbred bastards" and if we are coming to Clark County NV to support Cliven Bundy we all "better have funeral plans". We should "turn our asses around on mind our own f-ing business". Now there's some classy leadership for you," wrote Bushman on his official Facebook page.
After the story was picked up by the Las Vegas Review Journal, Bushman responded to the controversy by posting on Facebook, "I guess I've made an enemy in Las Vegas." The commissioner also lambasted Clark County Sheriff Douglas Gillespie as being, "too spineless to exercise his Jurisdiction". Earlier this week, Cliven Bundy called on Sheriff Gillespie to start arresting BLM feds on charges of trespassing and theft.
Collins' remarks were made in the context of him fearing that protests against the BLM could turn violent, which is ironic given that the only person invoking direct violence is Collins himself.
"I'm trying to do everything I can to discourage anybody who tells me they're coming here with loaded guns," Collins said. "I'm going to tell them not to come," adding, "The Bundys want peace, they don't want any violence going on so all these gun-packing folks just need to go home."
Clark County commissioners will hold a meeting next week to discuss issues of decorum in response to Collins' comments. It is unclear whether or not any action will be taken against him.
Bushman questioned Collins' sanity in light of his offensive comments.
"This guy was just off-the-hook weird," he said. "I've never ran into a fellow commissioner who treated me like that."
