Ammon Bundy Leads Protest At Home Of Idaho Cop Who Arrested Anti-Vaxxer
It's the militia leader's latest escalation in his attempt to use the COVID-19 pandemic to spread his extremist, anti-government views.

by Christopher Mathias

Notorious militiaman and anti-government extremist Ammon Bundy led protesters Tuesday evening outside the Meridian, Idaho, home of a police officer they claimed had unlawfully arrested an anti-vaccination conspiracy theorist earlier that day.

Bundy -- best known for leading the armed militia occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016 -- shared a video on Facebook showing him and dozens of protesters standing outside the home of the Meridian Police Department officer.

"There was a woman at a park with her children and she was arrested!" Bundy screams at the four or five cops standing in the driveway, watching guard over their fellow officer's home. "Completely inappropriate."

Bundy was referencing the arrest, earlier that day, of Sara Walton Brady, a prominent Idaho anti-vaxxer who staged a protest at a Meridian playground shuttered due to town measures to slow the spread of COVID-19.

A video of a mother arrested in Idaho at a playground that was closed under stay-at-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic has quickly gone viral, with far-right social media accounts rallying around her.

But the mother, 40-year-old Sara Walton Brady, wasn't on the playground simply so her kids could play. Brady is an anti-vaccine activist with connections to several far-right groups in Idaho, and she was participating in an organized protest on Tuesday against the governor's stay-at-home order. A group of people removed police caution tape to enter the closed playground, the Idaho Statesman reported, and Brady refused police requests to leave before she was arrested.

Brady was charged with misdemeanor trespassing and released later on Tuesday, the Idaho Statesman reported. Meridian police did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Brady could not be reached for comment.

"I didn't wake up today thinking, I'm taking my kids to the park to get arrested -- but when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!" Brady said to supporters following her release. "We have a duty to stand up to tyranny, or we're gonna lose our republic."

[OAITW r.2.0]

1. Hot, but stupid. NT

[marble falls]

16. Another take ...

[marble falls]

2. I don't want anyone to get this stuff, but sometimes .... its very hard to be civil about this crap.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. I Have No Such Compunction, Marble

I hope she gets it. Call me bad, but I hope her kids get sick too.
It's the only way drones like this will get it. It has to happen to THEM!

[lonely bird]

11. If they get it

No treatment.

[marble falls]

13. We have to be careful we don't become them. A guy with a funny mustche, not Charlie ...

Chaplin, once said a beauty of fascism is that to fight it requires fascist methods.

That may be so but we don't need to be in a hurry to embrace it.

[marble falls]

12. Kids are taken along for the ride, they don't drive the car.

[bluestarone]

18. I agree THEM BUT

I do not agree with the KIDS. PLEASE they are NOT the problem!

[Major Nikon]

3. Stupid and crazy go together like drunk and disorderly

Trump is also an anti-vaxxer, along with his quack TV “Dr” Oz. It as if Trump has energized a whole subculture of those at least 2 SD on the left side of the bell curve.

[Grokenstein]

4. "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!"

“We have a duty to stand up to tyranny, or we’re gonna lose our republic.”

...And yet you stand by the Orange Anus, AKA Putin's Puppet.

[MarcA]

5. If you want to see tyranny, let bundy and his ilk get in charge. n/t

[Orrex]

6. Bundy and his ilk are terrorists and should be treated as such

Pack them into a detention camp until the pandemic has passed, for their own safety.

Give them full access to basic amenities, of course, like food, water & medical care. Exactly the same as we provide for asylum-seeking families detained at the border.

[SergeStorms]

7. Bundy.....

Ammon makes Al Bundy look like a Mensa member.

Those mothers, so willing to sacrifice their children at the altar of ignorance, should be imprisoned. Their children, and the children of every other caring parent, would be far better off without them.

[GoneOffShore]

8. Stupid is always ugly -

I stole this from somewhere but it seems apposite:

To paraphrase Philip Pullman ‘We have reached a point in history where the really stupid is indistinguishable from the really wicked’.

[MrsMatt]

10. Good god, when will that asshole's

15 minutes of fame be done?

[onetexan]

14. Good God in deed, it's the inbred spawns the Bundys again. They make Al Bundy look like Einstein.

[Aristus]

15. Get a job...

[BlueIdaho]

17. Ammon's daddy taught him well...

Let’s hope he suffers the same fate.

[Grins]

19. They protested at the officer's home?

I hope those officers remember that.

“(Brady)...removed police caution tape...entered closed playground...refused police requests to leave.”

And got arrested. Not because she is an anti-vaccine crackpot. For trespass, removing/altering city property, and refusing the LAWFUL orders of a police officer.

Her anti-vaccination, anti-stay-at-home positions had NOTHING to do with her arrest.

I wonder if Bundy would be as outraged if she was African-American?
