@Snowboarder_Bo – I’ve never heard of this guy before. He must be new in the news. Has he been much in the news locally in your quadrant of the galaxy? Ammon Bundy is the one in the news mostly, followed by Ryan Bundy (the one with the twisted face). That news article mentions that Cliven Sr. has 14 children! ---

During the initial Bundy stand-off, quite a few of the offspring\* were involved. \*I mean Cliven’s spawn, not [The Offspring](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abrn8aVQ76Q). 😃 ---

I like how Bundy talks about the Capitol rioters. There was a million of them. Or a hundred million. Or maybe three million. The highest estimate is there were around eighty thousand rioters. Somebody should ask Bundy how many cattle he has. “I got a thousand…or a billion…or three…” ---

Fuck insurrectionists. Don’t you realize that the only reason that you are _not_ dead is because Obama didn’t want to kill you? You didn’t get the govt to back down out of fear, they backed down out of pity, out of compassion. They didn’t want to kill you, and the only options that you gave them were to back down or to kill you. Getting a bit tired of insurrection though. Maybe you should make another stand against the US government, bring your friends along, too. Maybe an example needs to be made. Treat this the same way that Washington treated the Whiskey Rebellion. Just come in with armed agents, and start rounding up the illegal cattle. If Bundy wants to walk towards the guns, sure, let him, and arrest him. If he or his friends threaten US officials, then respond appropriately. I’m sure that if the Bundys and their friends are killed, then some will use that as an excuse to become domestic terrorists, but if they are allowed to succeed in their insurrection, then that sets an even worse precedent. ---

> [@k9bfriender](#): > > You didn’t get the govt to back down out of fear, they backed down out of pity, out of compassion. They didn’t want to kill you, and the only options that you gave them were to back down or to kill you… Treat this the same way that Washington treated the Whiskey Rebellion. Just come in with armed agents, and start rounding up the illegal cattle. This is what bothered me about the Bunkerville incident. My perception was that the BLM already had the cattle on the trucks. They easily could have rolled them outta there without anyone getting hurt. The stand-off was unnecessary. ---

Absolutely correct. Round up the cattle, take them away, auction them off and send the Bundys’ the bill for the balance due. Plus interest and expenses. If they don’t pay up, take a default judgment and seize THEIR LAND. ---
