I can just imagine George Washington hiding behind Martha's skirts

These militias are so like our Founding Fathers. I can just imagine George Washington hiding behind Martha's skirts.

Bundy Ranch 'Militia' Considered Using Women As Human Shield

“We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front. 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.”

and he wasn't led away in handcuffs! I would really like to know why and if this terroristic behavior is condoned by the police in Nevada. I wonder if anyone tried that on Interstate 70 they would just let it go.
I can't even process the cowardice of these right wing goons. It gives a whole new meaning to "women and children first". COWARDS!

...this isn't over. As this goes on, no one will extend credit to Bundy. He won't be able to use any banking services lest the money be seized. He won't be able to sell any cattle legally because of the lien on them. I don't know if the Feds would charge a cash buyer with possession of stolen property, but I think they could. And, let his gun-toting buddies mull over the fact that if they're ID'ed, they will likely end up being charged with being accessories to grand larceny, or God forbid, murder. Going through life with an outstanding warrant is not fun.

(Or would that be conspiracy to commit grand larceny? Sorry, I'm not a lawyer)

To insure they are picked up quietly without violence, they would time things to take down as many of them as possible all at the same time. They do this sort of rounding up all the time and will wait for months some times to actually perform such an operation.

Hopefully, plans are already being formulated to get these violent criminals off the streets.

And they deserve to be rounded up and charged with terrorism because what they did fits the legal definition of terrorism.
