One of the most armed of them got shot so I think the skin color is more important

Where’s the tear gas and “rubber” bullets? An armed takeover of federal property so they could continue freeloading off government land without paying, yet some unarmed people protesting trying to keep people from being shot or beaten by law enforcement get just that. Shot, beaten, and arrested.

‘Traitor’ is a much more fitting term.

The Bundys have been ignored by the law for so long that I’m amazed that any Idaho judge cares.

And yet he’s also somehow been a quasi-legitimate candidate for office in the past too

True, but criminals whose crimes get ignored is par for the course with Republicans. Look at their champion.

Judge Baskin: “Once again, Mr Bundy thinks he can simply say he does not need to be in court. Again, that is not how the rule of law works in this country.”

Yeah, don’t you know that you’re supposed to file innumerable motions, continuances, and appeals, so that you never actually have to appear? Also, if you run for president, you can just do whatever you want.

This is a traitor not an activist. Hes the cunt he said “This public land just belongs to me. My cattle are gonna be here and you’re gonna deal with it.” And the government actually backed out of the shoot out. He should be in federal prison. But our corrupt fucken judicial system has republican super PAC shoved so far up its ass the middle finger is coming out their throat.
