Ammon Bundy comes out in support of defunding the police and Black Lives Matter.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

I still think he's a dingleberry for occupying public land but it's fun to watch conservative heads explode.

1. forget about conservatives--I'm losing my mind

in real time

6. RIGHT?

[catsudon]

18. i can see it

his experience with the feds has shaped his opinion and it does not matter who's in power.

why have police when you're armed?

[brush]

19. Exactly. Look out the window. Pigs are flying by.

3. weird intersection of worlds and acronyms

BLM

4. When those guys took over Federal land, what happened?

Nothing! They were treated with kid gloves.

15. I dunno, one of them got killed nt

[hatrack]

5. And I'd like to come out in support of Ammon Bundy going and fucking himself

7. is there an older Bundy?

this guy doesn't look or sound familiar at all. Am I dreaming?

10. This is the son of Clive Bundy, the federal lands dead beat in Nevada.

This Bundy led the takeover and occupation of the government installation in Oregon.

And now I have to check out of the window to see the pigs that must be flying by.

17. thank you.. much needed sanity returning

11. You're probably thinking of the father, Cliven

The Nevada standoff centered around his ranch and cattle. Ammon is the son and he was part of the wildlife refuge takeover in Oregon.

12. Here's one of our local crackpot ladies in Idaho. Claimed to be working with Bundy

to beat and unlawful discharge of firearm in the city. She also organized an all lives matter counterprotest to our BLM rally. She had some king of hootenanny and fired a warning shot to break up a couple fighting! I have no idea if any of the Palin's were involved.

They decided to call her rally the "Defend Lewiston Rally" at the last minute. They claimed to just be there to protect businesses from any AntiFa that might show up. In a town of 50,000, the cops didn't even expect trouble. It makes me wonder if Bundy told her she should change the name?

He should be supporting BLM and defunding police if much of what he says he believes can make any sense. I'm guessing Heather won't like that much.

13. In late 2018, Ammon criticized bunkerboi over immigration policies, and was denounced by his

former “patriot” pals...so, I’m not surprised to see this (although I kinda am!)

16. I'm glad that at least one of these guys showed up.

I don’t support specifically defunding the police, but I do support simplifying their jobs. 911 should be able to deliver more services than just police and fire. Get mental health, social workers, and animal control in there too so the cops don’t have to do everything. And take away their military toys. That was a mistake.

20. Another day in Bizarro World

My brain can't keep up.

21. I can't stand the guy, but he is right on this one.

At least he is being somewhat consistent on his libertarianism.

He is seeing the fascism and opposing it.
