Mass text sent out to Ammon Bundy's followers sparks worry of another standoff

Source: Raw Story

[...]

The message claimed that Bundy was "surrounded" by law enforcement and summoned followers to his Idaho home. According to The Daily Beast, the home was not under siege, but the message sparked fears that another Bundy-style showdown with the government could be on the way.

"Bundy is the leader of the People’s Rights Network (PRN), a right-wing activist hub that boasts of its ability to mobilize members on a moment’s notice via its alert system. While running a doomed gubernatorial campaign in 2022, Bundy led the PRN in a protest of St. Luke’s Hospital in Meridian, Idaho, temporarily putting the facility in lockdown while Bundy trespassed on its property," The Beast's report stated. "St. Luke’s later sued Bundy and his associates, accusing them of a defamation campaign that led to death threats against the hospital’s staff. Bundy has been openly uncooperative in the case, skipping court and even threatening charges against people who delivered legal papers to his house."

Idaho’s Gem County Sheriff says he's backed off trying to serve Bundy with papers because he thinks there's "potential" for someone "getting hurt." The Sheriff ultimately served the papers after St. Luke’s Hospital in Meridian complained.

Bundy has not been arrested, and has released a series of YouTube videos attacking his opponents -- some videos that probably aren't helping his case. "On Monday, a judge issued a default ruling in St. Luke’s favor, due to Bundy’s failure to appear in court or respond to the lawsuit. The judge also ruled that Bundy and his co-defendants must sit for a deposition by May 24," The Beast reported.

A call to brothers in arms, to show BIG GOV. we don't submit...or pay lawfully due contractual commitments like grazing fees. They figure cohorts will fall in, blood will flow, and the thing they want more they anything will occur. Death, mayhem, and more death. That is the death cult's final solution

Bundy is the kind of person who would kill a sheriff, or have one of his minions do it, and never be caught because he'd be using a scoped rifle at long range to do it.

Bundy's biggest problem is that killing him is the perfect crime because no cop in the world wouldn't believe you were in fear of your life from him.

As noted in the excerpt. The article contradicts itself in two sentences. First it says he backed off (which insinuates that he never served them), then it says he served them. But then...it's Raw Story.

"Idaho’s Gem County Sheriff says he's backed off trying to serve Bundy with papers because he thinks there's "potential" for someone "getting hurt." The Sheriff ultimately served the papers after St. Luke’s Hospital in Meridian complained."

At a minimum. The more you let these types get away with the more they try to take. It needs to stop! Will people get hurt? Probably. But the only way to deal with nazis is force. We have precedent too. THEY have declared war against us NOT the other way around.

What the hell do you think mortars are for? Just drop a couple dozen rounds from five miles away. I can pretty much assure you that for all the guns the Bundy Protection Network has, they don't have a shell-tracking radar.

Or...get the Roach, man!

This would be a police matter. If the Governor sends the National Guard, the Gov would be voted out because he would lose the independent vote.

perhaps it would be better if Bundy got "Waco-ed?" David Koresh hasn't caused any similar problems of late.

Mon Apr 24, 2023, 05:29 PM
Apr 2023

I goddamned knew that going easy on them the first damn time in 2014 would only embolden them.

They want a standoff? Like they think this is the TV wild west? Fine. But the minute they point their weapons at federal agents, open fire on all of them.

They'll never try it again.

Does anybody think if there was a Black Lives Matter armed standoff the feds wouldn't just mow them all down? Then why should these motherfuckers be any different?

After Ruby Ridge and then when Waco happened, I remember Janet Reno. I admired her so much for willfully accepting the responsibility and the blame. We need some goddamned REAL leadership to deal with these motherfuckers.

I am not sure who that would be...


I guess the Idaho Gem County Sheriff should stop worrying about what color Bundy is,
and just do his fucking job!

and if "somebody gets hurt", just make sure it is not his deputies, RIGHT ???
