to stop federal agents from rounding up cliveen bundy's cattle. have you been following this?t says it can't graze on the land, but bundy says the government can't stop him. melissa chen is in bunkerville nevada with the stand off. his call sign, the joker, that's as much as he will divulge. >> what's youreta to the state's catch. >> one of the many mysterious 345 lish sha men came to defend the ranch, just in case federal agents return. up the street, other armed men have set up a check point. with his a.k. 47 and nine-millimeter the joker patrols the nevada dessert. >> cliveen bundy decided to take a stand, and we are just backing him up. we aren't afraid of death, i am afraid of being a slave. i am afraid of living under tyranny. >> the government says he has tress padsed by refusing to pay grazing fees over the past 20 years. earlier this month, the bureau of land management finally started a livestock round up, that triggered bundy's last stand. >> we the people have a sovereign right to defend ourself, and the militia is is is helping us. supporters of them, many of them

cliveen bundy's family owes more than $1 million in grazing fees. the family scuffled with officers when they started to round up the cattle last week. armed protesters then showed up to support the bundies so the roundup is on hold for now. tuesday will mark one year since the boston marathon bombings. runners injured in the attacks, those who helped the injured, and law enforcement officers who chased down the bombers gathered undefor a huge group photo todao show their city is still boston strong. >> let's go, boston! >> axelrod: they came from all corners of the city, survivors, first responders, politicians, and well wishers. they all gathered today on boston's boylston street as the anniversary approaches of the bombing that tore a hole through the city of boston and the nation as well. they gathered to show their strength. >> ready, folks? >> reporter: the "sports illustrated" cover shoot was held at the marathon finish line where hundreds had gathered last april 15 to cheer on the runners. it was just before 3:00 p.m. when two explosions sec

. >>> i'm not saying i agree with cliveen bundy. i'm saying the way this was handled is suspicious.n in the heck do we send our federal government with arms to collect a bill? when do we do that? >> people who break or suspect offed breaking the law find themselves staring at armed law enforcement officials every single day in this country. for the better question is, when is it that people take up arms against the federal or state government, point their weapons at federal agents, and face no consequence for it? the answer is hardly ever. watching the bundy situation unfold, i couldn't help but think back to this scene from the documentary "let the fire burn." in 1985 an armed group in philadelphia had bunkered themselves inside a row house. police didn't back down. there was a standoff, firefight, and eventually a bomb was dropped on the house which killed 11 people, including five children. needless to say the right wing media of the time weren't rushing to their defense. today, imagine how they react to, say, the new black panthers, tiny group the network gave every time to imag

that's after the cliveen bundy thing.eal high-profile exarchts of -- what wharchs of what is just racism. >> 50 years after the civil rights act and it's still an issue. politicians who have supported the -- you mentioned for other reasons are now put on the hot seat. do you agree with this? of course i don't agree with that. and now the nba is going to be put on the hot spot. where does free speech end and having some sort of civil conversation with your most popular stars and the people who watch the game, all of whom -- many of whom anyway find this very offensive. >> schieffer: getting back to republican politics, jeb bush is apparently now thinking about running. i have a source that told me that, if jeb bush decides not to run, that mitt romney may actually try it again. >> wow! third time's a charm. >> schieffer: because they're very concerned that the party is not moving forward, that the party has moved so far to the right that they can't elect a presidential candidate. now, whether any of this happens or not, wh

they asked his thoughts on all of those protesters who showed up in support of the cliveen bundy ranch. i think that we are a country that people should follow the law. what went on there is not very good. i repeat, what went on threw is domestic terrorist. bundy does not recognize the united states. he says the united states is a foreign government. he doesn't pay his taxes. he doesn't pay his fees. unlike the of nevada ranchers. he doesn't follow the law. he continues to thumb his nose at authority. >> so harry reid there was not talking about the bundy family. he was talking about the people who were going there to support the bundy family. members of those militia, members of the public. >> these people. >> the people holding the signs. >> with the american flag on top of it. >> right. the people in the first amendment zone. those are the people harry reid says are domestic terrorists. it's crazy. we had a sound bite on early from byron new york, journalist in washington, d.c. said of two reserve the terrorist word for actual terrorists. people who bring down buildings and people w

slaughtered their cattle in the very place the federal government was trying to remove the cows and cliveenng those that oppose the government terrorists. >> i don't know, it seems like harry has won the civil war. i think he's going to make a lot of noise. i'm calling on the united states congress to pull harry in and straighten him out. i don't think as a congress and -- i don't believe you people would call us terrorists and i don't believe you should allow harry to run free and loose anymore. his mouth needs to be kept quiet and you people need to do it. it's not my job. it's your job to rein him in a little bit. >> so the bundy family has started a facebook page to get the word out on their own. we asked you earlier what you thought about all this. barbara burger tweeted, bundy should pay the grazing fees like the thousands of other ranchers do. of course, mr. bundy says he doesn't recognize the federal government's authority over the land that his family has grazed on for over 100 years. >> someone says if bundy is the feds' standard for delinquent fee enforcement, then what do they h
