Anti-government activist and Idaho gubernatorial candidate Ammon Bundy on Thursday was found guilty of misdemeanor trespassing and resisting or obstructing officers over a stunt he pulled last August, when he refused to leave the state Capitol during a special session, leading state troopers to wheel him out in an office chair.
Welfare drama queen.
“Idaho State Police personnel determined they could not have made arrests on the spot without elevating the potential for violence,”
So being too violent is a way to avoid arrest? What if it’s combined with being black, or selling loosies, or bottles of spring water, or wearing a hoodie, or . . .
Funded by Koch.
Bundy was sentenced to three days in jail, for which he got credit for time served, as well as 48 hours of community service and a $750 fine,
No probation, so cue up the next stunt for, oh, July 5th.
I wonder if Cliven Bundy set this as Ammon’s ring tone?
I recognize a pattern here. Call it the Kyle Rittenhouse Doctrine.
“Activist”? Really?
Wonder how many votes this is worth in his picaresque campaign for governor.
Hell, trespassing is about all these people do. We’d have never heard of them otherwise.
It’s a living. I mean, apparently.
Yeah they sure don’t seem to understand those property rights they constantly bellyache about do they.
A fine, upstanding 'murican . . . . UGH!
Political “genius” at work, for sure: create a faux confrontation by doing something utterly stupid, get yourself arrested (for being utterly stupid), then use your stupidity as advertising for your political campaign. That’s an example of modern republican party politics at its best.
If he got a Boston cream pie in his face it could not be any more gratifying reading this.
So in that photo is that the biggest, stupidest, up on my high horse fucking cowboy hat you ever saw? Don’t drive with the top down pardner.
I’m hoping it works out as well for him as it did for Tim Eyman here in WA state, whose gubernatorial run also involved wheeling an office chair out into the parking lot…

Oh…I don’t know, I’m thinking having to do a couple of months at Rikers Island getting schooled by them Northeast Libruls might beat the aforementioned Creme Pie.
