Cliven Bundy stoking Oregon fires?

Source: CBS News

LAS VEGAS - Controversial cattle rancher Cliven Bundy is preparing to lead a fight against the government again, reports CBS Las Vegas affiliate KLAS-TV.

The station says he released a notice Monday that he sent to an Oregon sheriff telling him to "remove all federal and state policing agents out of Harney County," where a month-long occupation of a federal wildlife refuge by militia memberscontinues.

Last week, Bundy's sons told supporters to back down from the occupation. Now, the elder Bundy is saying the opposite.

Cliven Bundy's notice to the sheriff was also sent to Oregon Governor Kate Brown and President Obama. In the notice, Bundy wrote, "We will retain possession of the Harney County Resource Center."

And wants to go out in ablaze of glory before he is forced to take that long dirt nap. He appears to be filled with too much pride to allow himself to be mortal. He also probably has only debt and whatever he saves from his grifting and government scam...err, "subsidies" to leave to his sons, which would also be a hit to his "pride".

I'm not making fun of overweight people but Cliven is so overweight he can't even speak clearly. He's probably lasted this long because he doesn't actually do anything but walk around and put on cowboy gear and what not.

Can't they just shoot him with a rhino tranquilizer dart or something? Then drag him to his cell? It could be a TV special!

This type of media exposure of favoritism for decades by federal 'land management' will only help 'private interests' gain control forever of Americans public land and National Parks.

And I don't mean Al Bundy........................................Married with Children--------------------


Take a really good look at this:

We the public at large, do not and I repeat, do not want one of these criminals released-----------------------they are / were "armed and dangerous"--------------------------------do you "understand"---------------do you need some more crayons to understand this concept



http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/mugshots-oregon-militants-arrested




this is your next reality show for your criminal enterprise --------------------take a hard look---------------your two grown up right wing hypocrite kids, that you taught, where taught no common sense from right and wrong, and they are in jail.

And you are going to jail next.........................................

They are going to stay in jail for a long long long time--------------have no clue what is right and what is wrong in the tin foil hat of reality.
In fact it would not surprise me if they are charged in some ways with the death of that coboy Finicum.

Who should never had the ability to have a gun--------------------he had no common sense

Now he's issuing proclamations to the sheriff of another state, and that state's governor and the president — this guy is now certifiable.

I mean come on, he's saying, from several states away, "we will continues to hold the refuge" like he's some commanding general or something.

Yeah right, they will continue to hold the land with four people who can no longer get out without being arrested and no one else can get in to re-enforce them past the perimeter that has been set up.

Talk about delusional. He should have continued his low profile because this foolishness is going to spur the feds to finally come down hard on him for being the freeloader he is.

It's just like a movie.

The Feds will back down and the militia guys will all hug each other as the triumphant Williams score crescendos... then the credits roll...

Oh wait. Y'mean there is no soundtrack and it doesn't just end?
