Remember the right-wing cowboy occupier? He, his family, and his friends took over a remote Oregon wildlife post to protest government overreach? One of his friends was murdered by law enforcement and he and his sons and friends spent years fighting criminal charges.
Well, he’s in trouble again. No, he didn’t burn anything down and he didn’t slam an officer over the head with concrete nor did he blind federal officers with lasers. No, he did something much worse. He interrupted the passing of a bill.
Bundy was arrested around 5 p.m. after attending a hearing earlier in the day where protesters disrupted a special session on a civil liberty bill, the Idaho Press reported. He told the newspaper he was upset about “citizen journalists” being removed from the hearing.
He sat at the press desk for several hours in the Lincoln Auditorium and refused to move.
Isn’t that unthinkable? Now, if he burned a building down in the name of BLM, that would have been understandable.
Bundy testified Monday against the proposed bill civil liability waiver legislation.
“The Idaho people are more than capable of keeping themselves safe. … We the people are tired,” he told lawmakers. “We are tired of government force, and we will only take it for so long. I recommend you act wisely, because we will not live in fear.”
Along with his supporters, Bundy reportedly burst into the House gallery and scuffled with police.
Unfortunately, he handcuffed himself to an object with wheels:

The difference between Bundy and the blm is he didn’t try to burn the building down and he is a white man that alone is enough to get him hung.wWho knows he could have had a great great great uncle who owed slaves we don’t know but he could have.Another thing he should have done is demand that they cut the troopers wages and took away their cars after all they are state police they be no good they may have slapped a black guy sometime never know.This is total BULLSHIT
Maybe Mr. Bundy could have handled this better, I don’t know, but this man has lost a lot due to government overreach so is understandably mad and I give hm the benefit of doubt. Regarding his protest about citizen journalists being removed, he is spot on. “Real” journalists are not journalists at all. Not these days anyway. Journalists don’t lie in their stories, editorialize news stories, allow politicians’ press secretaries to dictate content of their stories, refuse to dig for the facts or ignore them all together to perpetuate their chosen political narrative. And who is the legislature to decide what constitutes a journalist? In addition to news networks like Newsmax or One America News, I find internet news sites and blogs such as this to be much more informative and credible than any of the major media sources including FOX News. Our Constitution doesn’t differentiate who is a journalist, only that “the press” shall not be abridged which the State of Idaho and other government entities do.
that dadgummed scofflaw. HOW DARE he do something this hideous when he shoulda been out there LOOTING, TORCHING and just basically DESTROYING lives and cities. smh…..(by the way folks, that was SARCASM). Seriously, if black lives matter so damned much, why in heaven’s name are these ‘protesters’ DESTROYING EXACTLY what they are yapping about so much?????? All these ‘people’ should be doing everything in their power to go about it in the right way to get things changed. Just THINK about the possibilities that COULD HAVE BEEN if so much money (tax payers, of course) did not have to be used in an attempt to restore this city, PLUS, IF insurance will be obtainable after all this….there goes more that could have been used in a positive manner. Documentation proves that most murders are committed by black citizens upon fellow black citizens. Sort of a black-on-black issue, don’t you think? History cannot be changed, but wise people learn from it and move forward instead of reverse. The MOST IMPORTANT thing though is that ALL LIVES MATTER.
