You said.


Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I don't see how, by virtue of being protesters, they should somehow be legally absolved from the consequences of their actions.


Really~ Explain this to me.



Do you care give a damn he has been leaching off the tax payers, for years and years and years. Course he is white so stealing from the tax payers is A Okay!

He is a damn racist and even some from the GOP backed away from disgusting racist remarks. Sadly many still supporrt him.

On March 27, 2014, 145,604 acres of federal land in Clark County were temporarily closed for the "capture, impound, and removal of trespass cattle".[4] BLM officials and law enforcement rangers began a roundup of such livestock on April 5, and an arrest was made the next day. On April 12, a group of protesters, some of them armed,[5] advanced on what the BLM described as a "cattle gather."[6] Sheriff Doug Gillespie negotiated with Bundy and newly confirmed BLM director Neil Kornze,[7] who elected to release the cattle and de-escalate the situation.[8][9]

After making remarks about whether black people would be better off as slaves than under government subsidies, Bundy was widely condemned, and was repudiated by conservative politicians and talk-show hosts who had previously supported him, many of whom forcefully condemned his remarks as racist.
