Hmmm, looks like Cliven’s been arrested.
The lastest on that page is the still unconfirmed news that Cliven was detained by the police.
ETA: Following a comment on the thread, I did confirm that Cliven Bundy is being held in Multnomah County Jail.
ETA II Ninja’ed
“This isn’t Michelle; this is Pedro! Pedro’s gonna save your lives! Pedro’s going to. Mmmhmmm.”
This was my favorite part of the whole 4 hour and 45 minute ordeal; I’m totally going to use it in a song.
Sounds like he will face the same charges as Ammo, Ryan, et al, conspiracy to interfere with federal officials trying to do their jobs. A felony.
Local CBS affiliate is reporting it. I saw an image of a tweet that TSA at PDX ground to a standstill when his plane arrived.
I’m guessing that he didn’t bring with him 100s of militia who were capable of working together. ![]()
ETA: Oughta be easy to confiscate his cattle to pay those fees he owes now, eh.
Oh yeah, Cliven’s in the pokey! Here’s his booking info!
Listening to the now no longer feed, these people are crazy. Screaming that the FBI negotiator is going to go to prison.
We probably ought not mock the fuckwits. Delusional paranoia is a pretty serious condition that can sometimes be debilitating, at least in terms of being able to not infuriate people around you. And the mockery, well, it seems like that often exacerbates the condition. These people need help, therapy, treatment, and Thorazine. Metric fucktonnes of Thorazine.
And incarceration.
I’m just hoping the Cliven Bundy arrest wasn’t a mistake. It might have been smarter to wait until the four in the refuge had surrendered before arresting him.
If they had let him out of the airport, he would have been armed and probably surrounded by other armed people. This was probably their one chance to get him in a situation where he was voluntarily disarmed with no posse.
Listening to it I think they’re broken. They’re ready to come in if their fears of immediate execution are assuaged.
It’s reported that Cliven faces the same changes as the others.
I think it was a good idea, getting him while on the plane or in the security area where he and any friends wouldn’t be armed.
The ranchers have recent been holding a lot of seminars recently trying to get other ranchers to tear up their contracts with the BLM. I hope Cliven’s arrest will slow that movement.
The Bundy Ranch Facebook page says that he was also arrested on weapons charges.
One of them is named Ammo? Say what you will, these people are dedicated.
It was absolutely the right thing to do, and the right time to do it. He was a target of opportunity, and opportunity knocked.
Who cares what the four think about it? They’ll surrender today, or they’ll surrender in a week, or they’ll surrender when they run out of food, or whenever. They’re irrelevant.
Whoo-hoo!
And lobotomies.
Unnecessary.
