BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Authorities on Tuesday arrested anti-government activist Ammon Bundy at the Idaho Statehouse after he refused to leave a meeting room where a few hours earlier angry protesters forced out lawmakers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
However, Monday’s totals also showed 65 new asymptomatic cases among the state’s incarcerated population, as well as eight more positive cases in which a person is showing symptoms.

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.
