Romantic notions aside, anarchy, either left or right wing based, tends to spiral out of control.
The BLM has not closed off the area completely- it is open for hiking and horseback riding. In this particular case, the BLM has not made any endangered / "endangered" species based policy decions that impact the ability of local residents to earn a living.
Rather, all the BLM did was restrict a particular form of recreational use. In addition, there are hundreds of miles of trails in the general area open to 4 wheelers.

It's a good thing then that they weren't standing up for a right to drive ATVs or anything else anywhere they want to go.Civil disobedience is standing up for rights. No one has a right to drive an ATV or anything else just anywhere they decide they want to go.

On Saturday, a dozen sheriff's deputies watched the protest from horseback. BLM officials were not so visible. "They were here, but they didn't wear their uniforms," Sheriff Rick Eldredge said. "They didn't want a clash."
Antigovernment attitudes in the West have a long and virulent history, and recent public dialogue has remained marked by a threatening tone that prompted past BLM directors to travel with armed security.

You mean you didn't actually read the article? Shocker.?? No? Were they actually standing up for religious freedom? For free speech? For a free press? What?
Close it to vehicles.You mean you didn't actually read the article? Shocker.
Apparently, the county official leading the protest beilieves the BLM overstepped its authority in making a unilateral decision to close what is essentially a county road.
i'm going to ride an ATV in their backyards without permission. i wonder if MSNBC will cover it.
Yes, because the protesters were fighting for the abolishment of all laws that keep them from driving where they want to. Did you even try to understand the issue? I suppose it's embarrassing either way, eh?People just can't drive anywhere they want to. There are laws.

The BLM made the Recapture Canyon land off limits in 2007 because ATVs were damaging the land and folks were vandalizing Native American sites.
You might get shot at if you do, ya know, it's their private property...

why should i have to accept that any more than they accept restricted areas of public land? i want to go muddin', and their back yards look like a great place to do it. i bet my Jeep would kick ass in their back yards.
Keep telling yourself that... It's always easiest to win debates when you can make up your own facts.Close it to vehicles.
therefore, the protest was about where it would be legal to drive vehicles.
Not about any real civil liberties.
Yes, I understand the issue, the BLM or gubbermint is trying to protect and conserve artifacts, while riders of ATV's don't care what they tear up, after all, it's not their property, the artifacts belonged to Native Americans, why would they care?
Does anyone really care?
Someone does.
