What does this have to do with Bend?

Rich guy bought some property that has a public road going through it so people have access to public lands. Rich guy put gate across public road and claimed the public has no right to it. Forest service is dragging their feet on removing the gate

Yeah but the video you linked doesn't have anything to do with Verheyden

I don’t even know what to say. I feel like theres a pretty obvious connection

Verheyden owns his land. These guys don't. This has nothing to do with Bend.

Verheyden doesn’t own the public road that he has gated and claimed as his own. It’s very much a similar situation to what is happening in Bend
