Far-right former sheriff claims government brought in "hit men."

"We have our intel sources..." Translation, "The guy on the bar stool next to me told me."

Richard Mack: Government Brought In 'Paid Hit Men' To 'Fire On Innocent And Unarmed People' At Nevada Ranch

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 4/17/2014 10:50 am

Richard Mack, the Arizona sheriff who earlier this week compared the stand of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s armed standoff with the Bureau of Land Management with “Rosa Parks refusing to get off the bus ”and even the Holocaust, told Alan Colmes yesterday that the federal government brought “paid hit men” to Bundy’s ranch who were “ready to fire on innocent and unarmed people.” The Fox Radio host asked Mack, “We can agree or disagree about how much the government should own in terms of federal property, but is this the way to go about changing it? Mack responded that Bundy’s stand “was peaceful until it got escalated by the federal government in bringing out paid hit men, mercenaries, and you know, getting violent.” When Colmes asked Mack if he had evidence to substantiate his claim that the government had brought in mercenaries to face down the militia members at Bundy’s ranch, Mack responded, “we have our intel sources” and insisted that “they were there with the military weapons and they were there ready to fire on innocent and unarmed people.”

Like this guy?



Or this guy?



You use women as human shields while you aim assault rifles (fuck you, gungeon) at federal agents who are there to remove fucking cattle and collect taxes from some deadbeat yahoo. Fucking cowards, the lot of you.

The idea that this wretch has 'sources' outside the fever swamps of the militia militant blogosphere is a fine jest.

He flagrantly ignored three court orders, freeloads on federal land, led what was essentially an armed revolt. And now, he's sitting pretty and he's won.
