Too bad this fucker was acquitted a few years ago, he might have learned not to pull stupid stunts like this.

I keep reading that Jacob Blake and others should just do what the police tell them and if they don’t, they deserve to be shot and killed. I don’t want to wish anything on Bundy, but goose and gander.

He thinks that no law applies to him. And that he is a staunch law n’ order guy.

Bundy didn’t respond to a reporter’s shouted questions as he was wheeled into an elevator in a chair he apparently refused to get out of.

Crazy white guy getting a free ride from the local police. Should be happy he’s white and not getting shot in the back.

Wow, if the article is correct I agree with ted Bundy (oh, sorry different guy).

But seriously, he is opposing a liability shield? How did we end up on the same side of an issue🙀

Were he Black he would not have survived the Malheur stunt. All those armed men would have been shot on the spot.

But just keep in mind folks, there’s no such thing as white privilege. We libs are making it up out of whole cloth.

Bundy and other protesters are opposed to a proposed liability law intended to shield schools, businesses and government entities from lawsuits from people who get COVID-19.

Ok, so, on the merits, I do agree with him that no, there should not be a liability shield. But wasn’t he one of the idiots protesting the government ordering things shut down, and for masks and social distancing? Seems to me like he’s trying to make sure he can’t be blamed, is all.

“What does credentialed mean? Who is the freedom of the press for? Those who have credentials? No, it’s not,” he told The Associated Press. “The freedom of the press is a protection for the people. Your credentials are great, and I think you guys do a much better job at it than we do, but the fact is the government is not supposed to say this person has the freedom of the press and has a right to be in a certain place and these people don’t.”

Technically also correct on the merits… but douche enough to make me want to shoot him in the head with a spitball the size of Montana, just the same.

Maybe this time he’ll have a knot tying accident while in county lock-up…

Of course none of these crackers were shot by the cops while protesting. No tear gas, no rubber bullets, no pepper spray. Just arrested with (I’m sure) charges dropped soon.

I love ISP’s style:

  1. Cuff him.
  2. Throw his fat ass in a chair.
  3. Wheel his fat ass out.
  4. Stuff him into a waiting patrol car.

No muss, no fuss and, most of all, no exertion!

Sadly, with the notable exception of fellow yahoo LaVoy Finicum, he and his “gummy dildos and 55-gallon tubs of sex lube” gang still haven’t paid for the damage they wreaked on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

This fucker just doesn’t believe in rules or regulations. Let’s show him what the inside of a jail cell looks like for a few days; maybe he’ll get the idea.

And Trump and his supporters like Bundy have the unmitigated gall to tout “law and order” as their theme. It’s just BS.

Um … He’s already been there. He spent 20 months, then he walked.
