Cliven Bundy

[SHRED]

Why isn't he or any of his tea freaks who threatened Federal Agents in prison?

Doesn't this send the message it's okay?

1. Not over by a long shot. Saw this post recently:

2. Some people are exempt

From legal authority. Especially if you open carry your Ak7. Somehow you are a patriot and not a terrorist.

I think the Ruby Ridge and Waco disasters put a damper on treating these enclaves of ignorance and intolerance, like the Gaza Strip.

3. I've Been Wondering That Myself

I live in Las Vegas. The only thing we've seen so far is a couple of his thug acolytes murder a couple cops and a Walmart shopper before committing suicide. Recently, the Clark County sheriff said maybe he should do something... some day...

I really would like to know if something is going on in the background to bring the criminal militia to justice. Why are they allowed to point weapons at federal officers performing their duty - with no consequences that anyone can see yet.

5. Bundy is apparently violating Federal laws

as long as he doesn't violate state/county laws, I would think there's not much the County Sheriff can do. The Feds need to get to him.

7. He has a deep seated religious belief that the laws don't apply to him.

4. I suspect there will be a mass arrest after

they have ID'd as many as they can. This is not over by a long shot.

8. I think you're right, I can't see the feds letting this slide nt

6. I think that fact that Federal Agents

backed down is solid evidence that the government the ReThugs always claim wants to be oppressive and dictatorial really just doesn't want to be. At least not in that area. They just want people to play by the rules so the nation can function with some semblance of sanity and order. But the Bundy people want a fight. And if you're truly not looking for a fight, you walk away the first couple of times. Give the aggressor a chance to be reasonable. If they keep pushing it, you will be more than within your right to push back.
