“I know I have no rights, so thank you,” Bundy said.

That’s a pretty funny thing to say to a judge…in a courtroom…with a lawyer beside him.

Something tells me these people did not think things through. Getting snarky with the judge indicates Ammon still doesn’t get it. Dummy!

Possessing guns during the commission of a crime is serious stuff. The implied threat is you intend to use them if someone interferes. You don’t have to say it,its just there. They tried to say their takeover was peaceful,it was not.

That’s not true, Mr. Ammonia. You have the same Constitutional rights as any U.S. citizen. You don’t deserve those rights, but that’s the way our system works. Enjoy your life in prison.

Oh, shall the tear-stained pillows of Michele Fiore and Lauren Fox ever dry? I cannot wait for both of them to shout their lachrymose protestations that Ammon Bundy and his Holy Father Cliven and the rest of the Penis-Challenged Patriots are the greatest American heroes since Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Nathan Bedford Forrest. And Richard Speck.

I have a feeling that the deer and the antelope are having a lot more fun playing now that the trench of human feces is gone. I know I would.

All I could think of was “what a dick thing to say in court”.

The judge scrapped an April trial date, agreeing with prosecutors to
designate the case as “complex.” The move ends the right to a speedy
trial sought by the defendants.

This gives them the opportunity to occupy another Federal facility – but for much much longer; and without guns.

This whole thing was just one big self-fulfilling prophecy. This guy and every other anti-government nut have had nothing barring them from living a free and comfortable life. Yet they insist on living this fantasy that they’re living under tyranny. And they take it to a point where they end up behind bars.

It’s just so stupid. The Bundy cult deserves everything that’s coming to them.

“I know I have no rights” — reeking of self-pity, like a 4-year-old. Despite the beard and the big hat, this is a petulant, whining child.

He just wanted the judge to know he’s a real WATB.

As we were so recently told by Marco Rubio, no less.

No, no, thank you Ammon. Thanks to you, your dad and the rest of your crew of dumbasses, we’ve learned a few things.

First, not matter how cool you think your dad is, think twice before committing crimes with him. Cliven has gotten away with bucking the law and pretending he didn’t believe in the federal government for 20 years (while fighting the mythical federal government in mythical federal court).

Second, if you’re going to commit crimes, bringing guns along is a bad move. Prosecutors LOVE to toss on additional charges if you have guns.

Third, if you want to engage in civil disobedience, don’t threaten people (especially law enforcement) or bring guns (see above). You can’t compare yourself to MLK or Ghandi if you’re making threats to law enforcement and the locals and waving around guns- it’s not a good look.

Lastly, you had rights, until you give them away by committing crimes. You, your dad, and the rest of the crew gleefully gave away your rights ON NATIONAL TV!! Do we have to have a discussion about how incredibly stupid showing off to the media really is? Maybe we do since your dad was too busy explaining the Negro to you, and not explaining about the value of being a good citizen.

Enjoy that cell bitch!

Hmmm…Prison shouldn’t concern this bunch of Vanilla Isis warriors anyway. Their goal, originally, was to occupy one small federal building for years.

Now Ammon, you do have the right to remain silent. At this point, that’s about it.

Life in prison’s kind of a bummer. Be cool and maybe the judge will settle for a couple hundred years. :sunglasses:
