1. ...

[gratuitous]

2. Yeah, "peaceful." About that . . .

Ammon, I think Jesus said it best in Luke 19:41-42.

[Cha]

3. "We welcome Mr. Bundy’s new interest in the American legal system” ...

[struggle4progress]

4. I particularly enjoyed that remark, though there were so many other humorous lines

that it is somewhat difficult to know when to chortle loudest

[Cha]

5. the bundy gang and they latest victimization mode are in way over their heads.

[Control-Z]

6. "In a statement, Metro police said

it is not their practice to take crime reports on law enforcement agencies conducting law enforcement functions."

[99Forever]

7. So...

... these asshats just provided a perfect opportunity to arrest them for their crimes.

What did the Justice Dept. do?

[Open_n_Shut]

8. Technically your "innocence left you"...

... when you broke federal law 20 years ago.

[2pooped2pop]

9. Good. It's good to have their names on paper

so they can be investigated for ALL kinds of things. Taxes, welfare abuse, illegally stopping people for driving on their own roads while brandishing threatening weapons. I mean if you can make this trip and stand out in the sun for hours and sleep on the ground for weeks, you may have more trouble with your disability claim when you get home. Just saying.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

10. Their complaints sound like tea Baggers complaining

about seeing misspelled signs.

[spanone]

11. arrest the asshole. he has defrauded the u.s. government.

[jwirr]

12. The BLM was there because of a court order. That is all there is to this story. Because they say the

USA does not exist does not make it so.
