Ammon Bundy, a far-right activist who’s running to become Idaho’s next governor as an independent, was arrested in the early hours of Saturday for allegedly refusing to leave a hospital, police said.

According to the Meridian Police Department, Bundy was among a group of people who showed up at St. Luke’s Meridian Medical Center and refused to leave the property.

Bundy, the leader of the People’s Rights movement, was arrested just after 1 a.m. Saturday morning on misdemeanor charges. He was booked into the Ada County Jail.

1. being a jerk once again: rest of story about baby...

The latest arrest concerned a 10-month-old baby who had been admitted to the hospital on March 1 suffering from severe malnourishment.

The baby was discharged three days later, after gaining enough weight, according to a news release. During a follow-up appointment this week, however, medical personnel determined that the child had lost weight again.

After the baby’s parents canceled an appointment, officers attempted to contact the family to check on the child at a residence in Meridian. The people inside the house refused to cooperate, and police received a warrant to enter the home. Officers then found that the parents had left with the baby. Police were able to locate the father’s vehicle and took the child back to the hospital.

On Friday night, “Bundy and several of his followers” showed up at the hospital to support the family.

On Saturday, he said on Twitter that his “very good friend Diego’s grandson was medically kidnapped because a medical practitioner called [Child Protective Services] for a missed doctor appointment. If this happened to them, it could happen to you.”

In a statement, his campaign said that Bundy was “standing for parental rights and against medical tyranny,” and that he was arrested “for the crime of disagreeing with the hospital and CPS.”

33. "to support the family"

[muriel_volestrangler]

41. ie "to intimidate anyone trying to save people from his right wing friends" (nt)

[NullTuples]

53. Right-wingers are all for taking trans kids away from their parents for "abuse"

But actual starvation of a chile? No so much; then it's government overreach & tyranny

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Property rights only have meaning on his property.

Human Rights only have meaning if the parents agree with him.

[Wolf Frankula]

3. Al Bundy said,

"He is no relation of ours."

[dchill]

35. So did Ted.

[MissB]

54. .

[turbinetree]

4. So this "guy" thinks that the medical team and the state have no right to protect a baby...

and he's running for governor.....and he would do what with this law....get the right wing boys and girls and to just throw it out....

20. So they care about the baby when

You are pregnant but once born parents are allowed to starve it?

[MyOwnPeace]

43. NOW you understand.....

RePukes care about the child BEFORE it is born, it after - not so much.
No medical ‘coverage-for-all’
No child care for parents trying to survive
No additional funding for quality education for all

You get the point…….

[intheflow]

49. They don't actually care about the child before birth.

They care about controlling women's bodies. There's a difference, and it completely. explains why they don't care about babies once they're born.

[Dustlawyer]

51. They also are for abortion because we (the left) are against it. TPTB don't care either but it

makes for a great wedge issue to motivate their brainwashed base to turn out at the polls.

[Paladin]

46. +1000. (nt)

[2naSalit]

25. He thinks he's...

A sovereign citizen plus he's LDS so he's not in agreement with the social contract. I think he should be in prison.

[badhair77]

5. Given far-right he's probably "pro-life,"

except when it’s his friend’s grandson. All common sense is gone.

[SeattleVet]

6. It turns out that Kelly really was the smart Bundy.

[LakeArenal]

7. Funny.

[Cheezoholic]

9. Bwahhhhh!!

Nice

[The Unmitigated Gall]

28. Nicely played, Sir.

[Lunabell]

8. Parental rights to kill their children?

This is what these nutburgers are fighting for? My god, they are so evil.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. "medical Tyranny"?? Let me attempt to get my brain to process that insanity. OK Done. can't.

These "people" are fucking cray cray. And dangerous. Why is he not in a psych ward somewhere? Seriously

[PatSeg]

11. How does this fool make a living?

[Fritz Walter]

40. Same way that TFG, MTG, et al. do

By pandering to their hard-of-thinking, unbelievably gullible followers. In their view, it sure beats working for an honest living!

And Faux Noise, grOAN and other reich-wing media sewer-lines are only too happy to oblige.

[PatSeg]

42. Yet another grifter

who thinks he is some kind of people's hero.

[twodogsbarking]

12. He's a thug, not an activist.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

13. Radical Mormons obsessed with armed confrontation and playing the victim. They just don't

want to get along.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. hem

[VGNonly]

15. Too bad it was only a misdemeanor.

A felony conviction could mean loss of firearms.

[LudwigPastorius]

16. _

[tonekat]

17. People's Rights? Ha!

What people's rights, his merry band of idiots?

[jmowreader]

18. Mr. Bundy has two problems

First is that if by some miracle he DID get elected governor, he'd have to work from home because he's permanently trespassed from the Statehouse.

The greater one is Ammon Bundy is one of the few Idahoans it's legal to shoot. There's not a cop in the state who wouldn't believe you acted in self-defense if you put a few rounds into him.

[ret5hd]

21. How many of those Idaho cops do you figure support him?

[Thunderbeast]

31. Ammon Bundy could VERY WELL be the next governor

Brad Little is a Wingnut, but he is facing his absolutely nutty Lt. Governor in the GOP primary. Bundy is running as an independent.

Anything can happen (except maybe electing a Democrat). The days of Cecil Andrus and Frank Church are ancient history in this radicalized state.

[keithbvadu2]

19. Parents' rights to abuse the baby?

Parents' rights to abuse the baby?

Starving the baby or refusing to get medical treatment for some condition.

[kimbutgar]

22. He is testing his limits to see if has minimal consequences

The guy thought he could be governor of Idaho.

[Shipwack]

24. They'll be no consequences...

He's white and right wing. His grifting freeloading ass should have been in Federal custody years ago, along with his worthless spawn.

I don't know why Democratic officials and government officials are so afraid of this putrid pudge.

[maxrandb]

38. It's Idaho, he probably "will" be the next Governor

Hate Radio and Faux News have eaten so many brains in "pushover" country.

And yes, it was never "flyover" country, it's "pushover" country.

[jmowreader]

58. I think that screwball McGeachin will be the next governor

To paraphrase their lord and savior, Idahoans like hard-right lunatics who haven't been locked up.

[niyad]

23. DARN!! when I first saw that monster's name, I was hoping that the title would say "dead".

[TexasBushwhacker]

26. Needs a Herman Cain Award if anyone does n/t

[maxrandb]

39. If a Hellfire Missile strike had turned these fucksticks into pink vapor

when they took over a National Park at gunpoint, or had an armed standoff with federal law enforcement on the highway, January 6 would never have happened.

Donnie Dipshit probably never would have happened either.

Appeasing these violent fascists does nothing but embolden them.

[niyad]

48. I think you are correct. I was sickened by the gentle treatment they got.

[The Jungle 1]

62. Can you imagine:

If it would have been a Muslim group or an African American group who violently occupied a National park?
Why does our government kiss his ass. The government should poison his cattle and destroy the grazing land.
What these people did was treason. Same as 1/6.

[Farmer-Rick]

27. Standing up for parents everywhere to starve their children

I guess if you are treated like an incubator and baby machine, you don't take real good care of those creatures you just keep on popping out.

We saved the fetus but not so much the child.

[not fooled]

29. Pro-malnourishment?

Just when brain development is highly active...if it happened to him early in life, that would explain a lot.



I wonder what the malnourishment stemmed from...wacky diet dictated by crackpot religious beliefs? Starving the baby into "submission?" ???

[Blue Owl]

30. The Idaho Goober

[Midnight Writer]

32. He gets riled up a mite easy, if you ask me.

[Martin68]

34. A-hole.

[dupagelib]

36. Hot potato

If he gets elected the only potatoes I would eat would be from Maine.

[atreides1]

37. FFS

So now it's a parental right to intentionally starve your child?

[wnylib]

44. His first name, Ammon, is apt.

Like Amon Goth (Goeth), commander of the concentration camp in Poland where Schindler's factory was located.

[Hotler]

45. Remember when they were holed up at the BLM office

and people were sending them supplies? People started messing with them and started sending them rubber dildos. They got all pissed. Someone yelled into a camera;"Stop sending us dicks!".

[cab67]

47. Idaho already has some of the least restrictive laws when it comes to parental misconduct.

In neighboring Oregon, officials noticed the rather large number of graves appearing in a cemetery.They were the graves of small children whose parents belonged to an Evangelical cult that insisted prayer be used instead of modern medicine.

The Oregon legislature reinforced penalties against parents whose kids suffered because of their own religious beliefs.

So the entire cult pulled stakes and moved to Idaho, where such penalties basically don't exist.

This is an eye-opener:

[Marthe48]

50. seems like r candidates have to have a rap sheet to qualify

to get on the ballot

I remember when candidates had impeccable records, squeaky clean reputations. Now, it's hard to find an r that doesn't have a police record.

[cab67]

52. According to the article:

"On Saturday, he said on Twitter that his 'very good friend Diego’s grandson was medically kidnapped because a medical practitioner called [Child Protective Services] for a missed doctor appointment. If this happened to them, it could happen to you.'"

I F-wording hope it could happen to the next shit-for-brains who pulls this kind of stunt. No child should be harmed because of their parents' ignorance and gullibility.

[The Jungle 1]

55. That puke should be in jail

[Ford_Prefect]

56. He needs to be observed for a Psych evaluation.

IMO he's a Jim Jones in training looking for the opportunity...

[The Jungle 1]

61. Put him in prison and then do the eval.

So jury nullification is a pain in the ass two way street. Sometimes it does not go the way we want. This crook walks free because of jury nullification. He still has not paid his rent!!!

[Bucky]

60. Mr "Respect Mah Rights" doesn't respect other people's rights

go figure

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

63. This was a child-welfare case.

Was the child his ???
