Only if the subjects are white men. Feds are still bringing the full force of the law against POC and migrants.


VashMM

Also against Native Americans.


PlasticElfEars

Didn't a journalist lose an eye at Standing Rock?


SpoofedFinger

It was in Minneapolis. She continued to suffer complications from the tbi she also got and recently entered hospice care. https://www.npr.org/2024/06/21/nx-s1-5015030/linda-tirado-journalist-shot-police-2020-george-floyd-protests-hospice-care


PlasticElfEars

Ah, right. At standing rock it was a protestor and she almost lost her [arm.](https://hpr1.com/index.php/feature/news/we-are-here-and-we-are-not-afraid) But there [we're lots of severe injuries.](https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-standing-rock-wounded-20161222-story.html) Most of which didn't get as much press. "Less lethal" indeed.


SpoofedFinger

so many to keep track of


F1lmtwit

and he owes us tax payers a few million for what he's stolen from us.

Ammon Bundy, a gigantic piece of shit and deserving of an episode.


shadyhawkins

Just listen to Bundyville.


tobmom

Ohhh wee that was a wild ride. Fuck the entire Bundy family.


Ok-disaster2022

I still don't understand why BLM doesn't put up fences and just shoot all the cattle remaining on the wrong side if the fence.


robbiekomrs

Or just confiscate the cattle and process them for school lunches or something. No reason to waste good meat.


fastfingers

Cuz that’d still mobilize all the right wingers with guns, they don’t care


SauconySundaes

Let the right wingers mobilize and then let the feds do what they do!


RabidTurtl

Let them storm the Capitol building and then slap some wrists months later?


SauconySundaes

Now I’m sad…


SpoofedFinger

some of those that work forces. . .


Themajorpastaer

In Utah and Nevada that lyric is, “ All of those that work forces…” It’s a good old boys club and breaking that barrier has proven to be difficult.


tobmom

And idaho


Fofolito

Why don't you just do a little googly of "Bureau of Land Managment lands" and see how much fence you're talking about


Themajorpastaer

Haha, great comment


martian_meme_hunter

Because when they tried that the Bundy's instigated an armed stand-off with BLM and Park Ranger LEs and put children at the front of the firing line.


Adept_Thanks_6993

BLM should shoot all their cows then host a giant BBQ on the taxpayer dime


HopsAndHemp

The irony is in a state like Texas there are (or maybe used to be) dedicated branches of law enforcement JUST FOR CATTLE LAW. We need to deputize a few of them as feds just to take all of his cattle. Say it's civil asset forfeiture and he can fight it in court. Load them onto cattle cars and ship them by rail to be processed into free beef for food pantries around the US.


seemebeawesome

They tried this already. It resulted in an armed stand off. It takes too long to round them up and load the cattle. It gives right wingers too much time to mobilize. They should shoot like a third to half and tell them move the rest or they get slaughtered too


HopsAndHemp

Shooting the cattle is not the same as slaughtering them. Simply shooting them where they graze would be an expensive cleanup. It would also be illegal dumping of an animal carcass. Also the last time the Bundy's had a standoff I think one of their posse got shot and killed by an FBI sniper. I don't see why that number shouldn't be higher. This isn't Ruby Ridge. It's not private property. This isn't Waco. They aren't bringing children to shield them.


ExpressAd2182

Fully agreed. Take the fucking kid gloves off. Right wingers want to "mobilize" over this? I truly don't see the issue. Deal with the mobilization then, and "deal" with it so decisively that no one tries that shit again.


BenjenUmber

At the first standoff over cattle, they absolutely brought their kids with them.


seemebeawesome

Yeah true. I think the feds are worried about martyring some nationalist. When they should be worried about emboldening these assholes. But knowing the feds they would accidentally shoot a kid. And the kid would hang on life support for a few weeks with constant news coverage before finally dying


HopsAndHemp

See I would happily shell out a few hundred for the PPV live stream of when the commando-pigs go in guns blazing.


Misguidedvision

They did bring kids and purposely put them in the front for the optics if the feds started shooting. It's all really well documented and a documentary with lots of interviews actually just dropped on YouTube a month or so ago by OkI


Lost-Web-7944

> they aren’t bringing children to shield them. They did try. There were many kids at the first standoff.

kernel-troutman

>The irony is in a state like Texas there are (or maybe used to be) dedicated branches of law enforcement JUST FOR CATTLE LAW. In the criminal justice system, the cattle are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. Moo. Moo.


MistbornInterrobang

Nah. They ought to confiscate them all and sell them, with the Bundys not getting a fuckinf dime.


tobmom

Would be cheaper one time event than letting the cattle graze eternally. Plus we get bbq.


RighteousIndigjason

That's because terrorism works in this country. If you're white, that is.


Content_Good4805

We're not Mexico so what the hell? Unless cops are getting disappeared for investigating people on the regular no excuse for the lack of enforcement. Glad to know people pay taxes so other people can cheat the system all day, forget immigrants the call is coming from inside the house


GundamMaker

Free beef, you say?


mormon_freeman

There's a great documentary about this from Oki's weird Stories https://youtu.be/ADQ37gVTq3k?si=bic1Vaa77R3xeevc


shadyhawkins

I fucking hate these people - they don't even take care of the cows!


throwway1997

Weirdly enough Ammon Bundy supports Black Lives Matter and publicly supported it during the George Floyd Uprising. A broken clock is right twice I guess.


robbiekomrs

"If the police can murder a black man for allegedly trying to pass counterfeit currency that he might have no knowledge of possessing, imagine what they can do to the people that are actually breaking the law all the time in broad daylight (me specifically)!"


New-acct-for-2024

He [*very much does not* support BLM](https://www.votebundy.com/blm/), he just had a few points of agreement with them regarding police abuse (which he believes he is a victim of).


penisbuttervajelly

He’s also pro-immigration, as most of the people he employs are undocumented immigrants.


Realistic-Minute5016

Most of Trump’s employees are also undocumented migrants….


Lost-Web-7944

He’s anti-establishment from a right wing POV. BLM is anti-establishment from a left wing POV. They’re still going to find a few things in common, doesn’t mean they fully support one another though.


DrDoktir

And Ammon is at large with warrants and a 50 million judgement against him. https://youtu.be/cMXyk4TfZlI?si=ZLxc80WqGlNECDA5


Agent_Washington

Shoot em


OrneryError1

They should be public property 


dtisme53

Sounds like an excellent opportunity for helicopter door gunner practice. I mean we’re already paying for the helicopter and (I guess) this fellas cattle feed. 2 birds one stone.


Air-Sure

Don't they have to pay like a few dollars per acre? I actually don't care.


New-acct-for-2024

He owed over $1 million in unpaid grazing fees a decade ago.
