Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah hhahahahhahahha - Cliven Bundy was "taking control of things"

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/11/cliven-bundy-arrested-charges-oregon-milita-standoff
<snip>
Bundy had left Nevada on Wednesday evening to travel to Oregon after learning that the FBI was moving to end the Malheur occupation. Though his son Ammon had pleaded with the final standouts to surrender, Cliven Bundy remained intransigent, telling the Guardian that he was “taking control of things”.

“I don’t know whether I’ll be a negotiator or maybe a demander,” he told the Guardian by phone on Wednesday night, as he prepared to travel to Oregon. “I hope I save some lives, for one thing.”

Briana Bundy, wife of Cliven’s son Mel Bundy, criticized federal prosecutors for going after the family patriarch for a standoff that happened in 2014. “If they have something to charge him with, why didn’t they do it two years ago?” she said, adding of the accusations. “They are all bogus, and it’s nonsense.”

Briana said the government’s case was weak. “It’s their job to prove guilt, not our job to prove innocence.” The family was trying to figure out what their next step would be, Briana continued. “We’re stressed out and we have a lot of things to get accomplished,” she said, adding: “We’re planning on staying the course.”

I dunno, maybe because he was surrounded by nutbags taking sniper positions against agents back then, and apathetic local law enforcement? I agree that the government wussed out in dealing with that domestic terrorist two years ago, but better late than never.

The whole goddamned lot of them are off their rockers.

Anyone have a list of their names? I'll bet there are a lot of "Darryls" in it.

This has been an unbelievable lesson for me - never did I ever entertain a thought that this bunch was so fucking stupid and ignorant.

...they were bound to walk into the spotlight on their own. And that's exactly what Bundy did. He could just as well have been sporting a colorful gift bow on his pointy little head.
