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

Maybe we should just Ruby-Ridge them.

(11,869 posts)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

(51,696 posts)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.

(28,834 posts)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.

Or...get the Roach, man!

(19,702 posts)perhaps it would be better if Bundy got "Waco-ed?" David Koresh hasn't caused any similar problems of late.

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 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 ???
