Ammon Bundy has been arrested and his brother Ryan was wounded in a shoot-out with FBI officers that left one of their militiamen dead, reports claim. It is the climax of a tense stand-off between federal agents and the activists more than three weeks after they took over a government building in Burns, Oregon, to protest two ranchers being jailed. They were driving to a community meeting with eight other activists on Tuesday afternoon when they were stopped by traffic cops, according KATU. Within minutes, shots were fired, wounding Ryan Bundy and killing an unidentified militiaman. It is not clear

On what, exactly?

That the Bundys are very good at getting free stuff for themselves while talking other people into making enormous sacrifices on their behalf and getting nothing for it?

Those facts are being proved in real time tonight.

Until we get the facts it is inappropriate to slander the victims.

I don’t know a lot about the underlying controversy but this looks like Obozo’s Ruby Ridge or Waco and this needs to be stopped. The Senate Judiciary Committee with Arlen Specter (no less) leading the charge attacked the FBI involvement and Federal Marshal involvement at Ruby Ridge. Randy Weaver was not convicted and collected millions from the federales through the efforts of attorney Gerry Spence. I feel sure that he would gladly give the money back if he could have his wife back but she had half her head blown off by a federal sniper (Lon Horiuchi?) while standing near her door holding her infant.

“Routine” Traffic Stop?

Doubtful.


When does the FBI make routine traffic stops.

Those are called ambushes.

May God have mercy on his soul and welcome him into heaven and may God bless and grant spiritual relief and emotional relief to his widow and their children including those kidnapped by state officials as part of their efforts at persecuting the deceased and his family.

That is because they ARE ambushes.

Also, just what is the basis of FBI jurisdiction over this matter. J. Edgar Hoover used to largely confine such efforts by the FBI to responses to interstate flight to avoid prosecution. Now the Feebies are working on occupations by citizens of nature centers?

When does the unconstitutional expansion of federal power end? Trump and Cruz should be addressing this murder and what they will do to prevent repetitions and to punish the miscreants responsible.

This was not a routine traffic stop. The Feds had them under surveillance The Feds id’ed the car and they got them stopped.

Well they have learned something from Waco then. If they would have done it the same way to David Koresh many lives would have been saved.

Do we have another Waco cover up on our hands? Something smells fishy.

So the FBI is now killing ranchers while Hillary runs for president. The optics of this is not good. Prayers for everyone involved.
