Remember Cliven Bundy from the OP?
He's the millionaire moron rancher who was initially hailed as a "hero" by extreme right wing individuals, groups, and media. The one who formed an armed militia to stop the Feds taking his cattle after he refused (for 20 years) to pay the same $1.50 per head grazing fee all other ranchers on government land pay? The tax-evading rancher who fell out of favor with talking heads when he told the press how negros were better off as slaves than living on government subsidies, all whilst hypocritically leading a self-declared 'revolution' so he could profit off government land without paying? The 'patriot' whose militia posse included two thugs who left the Bundy compound and went on to shoot and kill two police officers and a woman before killing themselves in their "don't tread on me" final act?
Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The old moron's son, ^ Ammon Bundy, is currently leading an armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Oregon. He's formed a militia and beckoned via Facebook: ALL PATRIOTS ITS TIME TO STAND UP NOT STAND DOWN!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! COME PREPARED", and has illegally taken over the property "indefnitely" to show solidarity for two members of the Hammond family. Cliven Bundy said he's not involved in this action.
The Hammond men were sentenced to 4 years prison time for arson -- Dwight Hammond has said he and his son plan to peacefully report to prison Jan. 4 as ordered by the judge. Dwight Hammond, 73, and Steven Hammond, 46, said they lit the a fire the federal land in 2001 and 2006 to reduce the growth of invasive plants and protect their property from wildfires.
The Hammonds participated in a peaceful protest yesterday, but stated publicly that they don't welcome the illegal occupation of the federal building by Bundy and his posse.
So, another rich mooching Bundy leading an armed anti-government militia stand-off with Feds, probably figuring that the Feds again won't respond to them as they would other types of gangs who commit criminal acts and point loaded weapons at law enforcement officers. Yee-haw.
