The governments actions to enforce a court order with snipers etc were completely out of line, however Bundy was in the wrong to refuse to obey the law in the first place and is clearly a nutter.
Why people hitched their wagons to him is beyond me.
No one has hitched a wagon to him. If anything, they’ve hitched a wagon to the understanding that this government means to take everything they can and kill anyone who gets in their way.
Were the "Indians" who dumped the tea into Boston harbor wrong to refuse to pay the legally-imposed tax on that tea?
Were the militia members who refused to allow confiscation of their gunpowder at Lexington and Concord, a confiscation ordered by duly-constituted authority, wrong?
Were the Northerners who refused to return runaway slaves to their owners, in violation of the Fugitive Slave Act, wrong?
They pass a law that says people like you are required to slit your own throat.
Obey the law.
“Not the same!”, you say. But you are wrong. The new BLM regs would have meant the Bundy’s would have gone out of business like so many of their neighbors.
So no... Not all laws are Constitutional nor moral. Pick and choose your battles. For the Bundy’s, this was their “last straw”.
