Bundy Ranch Militia Considered Using Women As Human Shields

The fine gentlemen who threatened violence against the federal government, even though they’re wrong about who owns the land, were going to use women as human shields.

The Blaze, the conservative news site affiliated with Glenn Beck, flagged the comments made Monday by Richard Mack, identified as a former Arizona sheriff who had joined more than 1,000 other protesters alongside Cliven Bundy, who has been feuding with BLM over his use of federal land to graze his cattle.

“We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front,” Mack said in a Fox News clip pulled by The Blaze. “If they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.”

Fucking hypocrites.

As I understand it, they have been refusing to pay fees for use of public land for 20 years and dare complain about the BLM finally putting an end to it.

An American soldier stationed in the mid-east, noted to his friend that he was pleased with the strides in the Arab culture in that he saw i that Arab women were now walking in front of the men in the rural areas. His friend smirked and replied , "Land mines".

What is the matter with these Bundy assholes, couldn't they find any children , kittens, or puppy dogs?

one of these heroically brave militia members, protectors of the american way, it must give you a great feeling of exactly what they feel your worth is to them. What a bunch of screwed up worthless cowards they are. Having a gun and strutting around in your camo gear does not make you a man. Not even close!

To see how many who claims to be disabled and takers. If they can gather and prepare for the showdown then they have the mental and physical ability to work for a living and be required to return all of the monies they received by their fraud.

Before the day is out, they'd spin it as 'Obama kills girls.' Or something.

It's okay if these cretins themselves are running the wars, however.

But then one wonders whether they would even arm their sacrificial womenfolk.

I guess that they feel that they're only women, right?

If a few "females" have to die for the cause, then they'll have to die for the cause.
