It's already been handled in court. Multiple times. Bundy has lost every single time and still refused to cooperate in any way, shape, or form.
So you want the message sent to the American people that you don't have to pay the government money you owe them as long as you have a gun and threaten to go to war against them?
As we just heard about.That delinquent IRS employees {thousands }who owe back taxes were actually given Bonus'.
Do you have the same outlook about Eric Holder who was held in contempt and STILL refuses to hand over documents? I bring this up because you can't favor the government here and say Bundy is wrong because he was ordered by a court to do something and didn't, when our very own AG does the same thing. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I say good, what goes around comes around. - - - Updated - - - Don't forget about Al Sharpton owing a million in back taxes for YEARS and he hangs out with Obama.
When you owe money to the government then they'll take it in whatever way they can, including putting a lean on your house. And Bundy was probably willing to do whatever it takes to defend his farm considering the BLM had already shot some of his cattle in the past. I'm sure anyone would be upset over that. - - - Updated - - - And the property lean was where?
Being upset is fine. Threatening to go to war with law enforcement (who consist of Americans with families) is not.
And law enforcement showing up his house armed to the teeth where his family is isn't fine either. Two wrongs don't make a right.
If those illegal immigrants were crossing the border with guns, saying they're prepared to kill our border patrol if they try and stop them, I'd be all for executing them on the spot. I didn't vote for Obama the second time and I'd like to see him impeached for his policies concerning the rights of American citizens and people in general. Al Sharpton is a moron at times. Awww, did I ruin your fun in your pathetic attempt to make me a hypocrite instead of addressing the actual topic?
Well I said "pretty much all" of them. Maybe you are an exception. If this is the case and you do disagree w/ the racist things he said, then good for you. But when I read comments like this one: "Sounds like he was giving you facts and you didn't like em.", It only serves to reinforce my personal opinion that Pretty much all of his supporters have the same racist views. Thanks for your response to my post.
Ever watch the movie - Repo Man -.In the movie Harry Dean Stanton said he's never had to pull out his pistol. The Bundy's weren't threat to life & limb. In fact, they were mere ranchers using land for the last 150 years to graze cattle in order to produce beef.They weren't slackers.living off the government dole. It was the BLM who initiated and brought automatic weapons and used German Shephards to enforce a simple court order.All Of Cliven Bundy's neighbor ranchers { numbering 52 } were basically forced off their land thru unlawfull Eminent Domaine.Those Ranchers were not afforded fair market value. That land was bought on the cheap by Harry and Rory Reid.NOT for any Public good like a highway or school or Power lines.It was being used to line the pockets of the Reid family for Chineese Solar Farms. The excuse over an endangered species { Tortoise } was pure bunk.
Now I didn't say that did I? I said armed to the teeth. Their is a difference. When you show up with a small army to tell someone they have to move then something isn't right. But maybe it's best that you're done, you can't seem to find the problem with that.
Heck, for that matter I wonder if Barack Obama ever got around to bringing coffee to him as Bill Clinton suggested was his natural position in the world back in 2008? Bill's racism aside, who knew back then that bringing coffee around to Bill Clinton actually does seem to be about the extent of Barack Obama's meaningful talents?
What does it matter how armed they are? They were there to do their job. That job did not entail firing any of those weapons unless they were forced to by violence initiated by others. How am I wrong about that? Again, unless your theory is that they were there to kill everyone, I just fail to see how their arms make any difference.
I've seen those responses as well but I've also seen others not even mention anything of the sort who happen to support him. I don't think I'm that rare and unique of a person to be one of the only few who isn't some racist for backing him up. Their are plenty. Sometimes we only see something because it's staring right at us in the face. And welcome to PF. Glad to have you aboard.
Yes.What was done after last years Boston Bombing was totally wrong. The government had no call { legally,especially morally } to call for a 100 mile radius quarantine { where familes were forced out onto the street by paramilitary with automatic weapons and screamed at to " Move It ! ". Notice how it was never referred to as Martial Law. Martial law is only to be used in a state of emergency.Like the Plague or to prevent looting after a huge natural disaster.Not to nab a couple teen terrorist. Get yer head right pally.
Who cares what their job was if they showed up with an army? If all they were to do was to displace him from his home then they wouldn't have needed that many people. Unless you think the only way they can accomplish anything is with massive backup I fail to see the necessity of that many people showing up for one job.
For the same doggone reason our Military cannot use armor piercing bullets { hollow point } in Combat.It's right there in the Geneva Convention. Get yer head right Pally.
Again, what does it matter if they brought more than what they needed? How does that change anything? they were still there to do what they were there to do.
Who cares? It's government intimidation. It's over reaction. It's unneccessary. And myself and plenty of Americans care. That's why this is an issue.
Over reaction? Would you consider showing up with weapons and threatening to shoot people that are doing their job on a law breakers behalf an over reaction as well?
