Ammon Bundy and other far-right extremists in Idaho vow to defy GOP governor's social distancing ord

[link:https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/ammon-bundy-and-other-far-right-extremists-in-idaho-vow-to-defy-gop-governors-social-distancing-order-report/|

Last week near Boise, Baker reports, Ammon Bundy (who once led an armed takeover of a wildlife refuge in Oregon) spoke to “a few dozen people” and encouraged Idaho residents to defy the social distancing orders of Gov. Brad Little. Bundy told the crowd, “If it gets bad enough and our rights are infringed upon enough, we can physically stand in defense in whatever way we need to. But we hope we don’t have to get there.”

Why are they not in jail for conspiracy to commit acts of domestic terrorism?🤬

their rights are far more important than our rights and that we all are too dumb to know it (the rest of America).

Why do you think they moved to somewhere in the middle of nowhere?

By the way, some of them have been in jail for various things (I am not sure of what the offenses were, I know his father was in jail for some offenses too, but he passed on already, I think). These survivalists are everywhere. They are in some parts of Missouri (there are some pretty isolated pockets of Missouri, especially in the southern parts of Missouri, and running through the Mark Twain National Forest (where they grow their pot and crap).

Bundy doesn't live in the woods under rough shelter, he doesn't hunt and eat native roots and plants. Nope, he's just another selfish asshole and I don't think he's even from Idaho. I wish he'd GTFO.

I'd say it right to his fat face looking him in the eyes but he hides in his safe spaces, wherever his guns are.

First, I think it is reprehensible that these cockroaches crawl out and use a national crises to pick a fight that is going on in their own, tortured minds. This is no time to be flaunting an attention whore proclivity to look special and defiant. That's idiotic, to say the least.

So, those folks can huddle together as willing vectors and get each other infected. What I suggest is that they also act free enough not to burden our overwhelmed health care system and just enjoy the right to GASP FOR FREEDOM as they take their last, infringe breaths before expiring. How brave and bold that is and an act of resolute freedom fighting as well. We have seen the adament preachers take one for Dunning-Kruger, so why not these self-determined expendables? They brand themselves with the mark of ignorance.

I certainly wouldn't infringe on their rights to turn six-feet of social distancing into six-feed under. No way. Freedumb rules!

I truly hope no one else anywhere gets Corvid19, but an eyeopener might be what the doctor ordered.

And their right to hole up in some cabin cluster until there is nothing left to do but collect the statistics in HazMat suits.
