One year ago, Cliven Bundy sought help in his stand against the federal government. He believed he owned the right to graze his cattle for free on federal land, and he wanted an army to back him in his self-proclaimed range war. Bundy’s family has had a long history of encounters with the law, so it’s no surprise that those who responded to his call-to-arms had their own troubles and grudges with the government. During the Bundy Ranch “peaceful” standoff, supporters threatened government employees and officials, pointed firearms at law enforcement officers, harassed the press, called in bomb scares to local businesses, set up roadblocks on public roads, and formed lists (complete with photos and home addresses) of their perceived enemies, fellow Americans they wanted to punish without legal process. Many of these Bundy supporter crimes were caught on camera and braggingly posted on the Internet. The legal repercussions for these acts now depend on the political will of the Department of Justice, an agency that has historically dealt with Bundy- related threats and harassment with all of the backbone and resolve of an over-cooked noodle, leaving twenty years of confrontations and threats against land management employees unpunished. The DOJ’s past inactivity sent a message to these employees that they were expendable, told Bundy and his family that his years of threats were acceptable, and in the end, put a few hundred lives at risk under a freeway last April. If the DOJ acts responsibly, the Bundy standoff should ultimately result in a very long list of criminal indictments. If the agency shrugs, as it has too many times in the past twenty years, future confrontations involving the militias, sovereign citizens, and other anti-government extremist groups won’t be as “peaceful” as what happened at Bundy Ranch. Only a few criminal actions have been brought so far. The following list includes the criminal cases filed so far against those who provided support, both physical and online, during Cliven Bundy’s standoff. Those who have provided physical support: Those who have supported Bundy online: Earlier this week, several militia leaders put out a new call-to-arms against the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon for a potential conflict on April 25, 2015 involving gold miners on the Rogue River. While it is not yet clear how many armed supporters will make the drive, the post- Bundy excitement and recruiting efforts within the anti-government extremist movement have continued to thrive.

Armed backers of embattled rancher Cliven Bundy are still living along a state highway in southern Nevada, almost three weeks after an armed standoff halted U.S. Bureau of Land Management plans to round up cattle he grazes on public land.

He should be hailed as a hero for "retaliating" against a traitorous POS like Reid. Yet you post this bullshit as if these people arrested were the enemies of America. You and the other fed.gov worshiping pricks at this site would turn in your own families for standing up to tyranny. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Meh. Forbes is whining that Bundyites aren't being prosecuted as quickly as they want. Seems to me that the state authorities are dealing with them adequately even if they're in no big hurry about it.
Quack, waddle... ...Affinity Fraudsters.
No surprise to see you on the side of tyranny.
What side will Clyvin and his merry klan of Mormon fraudsters squat on when they get to planet Kolob? Tyranny? Well Priss, how does the Mormon Doctrine of Blood Atonement generally work out for those unfortunate enough to find themselves snared within its incestuous and inbred purview?
President Hillary and Sec of State Lindsey Graham, will avenge the hate crime of Gay Bishop Willie-Mitt's loss. Comandante McCain presents a gay marriage license to LDS ISIS graduates at Hillary's FEMA Fun Camp.
Charles Jason Moreland - Oklahoma: pleaded guilty to influencing, impeding, and retaliating against a federal official (U.S. Senator Harry Reid) and was sentenced to one month in prison plus one year of supervised release.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
