Nice to see comeuppances happen for all these right-wing assholes, but damn it took a while.

This is not (yet) comeuppance. That will come when he actually spends time in prison. This is just more of the same legal processes that promise comeuppance but hasn’t - so far - delivered any actual results.

The Bundy family is infamous in its own right without resorting to serial killing. Just anti-government shit like occupying federal lands

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A judge in Idaho has issued a $250,000 arrest warrant for Ammon Bundy, the anti-government activist, after he repeatedly failed to show up in court.

“This court is doing everything in its power to protect Mr Bundy’s rights, to give him an opportunity to confront and cross-examine witnesses, to have his motion to dismiss heard.

In 2016, a court acquitted Ammon and his brother Ryan Bundy along with five others, of all charges to their occupation of the Malheur national wildlife refuge in Oregon.

Bundy’s latest brush with the law follows a court decision earlier this year that found him and other defendant, Diego Rodriguez, guilty of defaming St Luke’s medical center in Boise.

During the trial, an emergency room physician, Rachel Thomas, told the court that the 10-month-old baby was suffering from malnourishment and that its stomach was distended.

It added: “It also affirms the importance of protecting healthcare providers and other public servants from attacks intended to prevent them from carrying out their responsibilities.”


The original article contains 654 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
