What exactly are we missing here?
Talk about sending the wrong message: a federal judge has declared Cliven Bundy’s case a mistrial.
Let’s recap.
So Cliven Bundy doesn’t like being told he can’t graze his cattle on the BLM land in Nevada where his family ranch has been grazing its cattle since land grants were doled out to settlers. We get that. We’d be pissed off too. But there is a big difference between being pissed off and declaring war on the U.S. government, which is how Bundy dealt with the situation. He told the government to stick it and had a bunch of militia members with all kinds of firepower show up and threaten to shoot any federal employee who dared come on his property or enforce the law. His two sons, Ammon and Ryan, helped out and for some reason, the feds backed down.
That emboldened Bundy and his armed rebellion so much his boys and a bunch of guys with guns went to Oregon and literally took over a wildlife refuge and again said they’d shoot anybody that tried to stop them. After a lengthy standoff and one guy getting killed, the Bundy boys were arrested. But in 2016, they were acquitted, despite the fact the whole nation saw them take over the refuge with guns. And now Cliven Bundy is walking away from his armed standoff with the feds.
And the lesson boys and girls is that if you don’t like the law, get a bunch of guys with guns and threaten to kill anyone who tries to enforce the law and the feds will let you do whatever you want. Great message.
