U.S. Magistrate Judge Janice Stewart also said Bundy should not be released ahead of trial because there is a risk he won’t show up for future court dates. ‘Federal prosecutors’ called the 69-year-old “lawless and violent” in a document filed before the hearing, an assertion his attorney and family denied. “If he is released and he goes back to his ranch, that is likely the last the ‘government’ will see of him,” Stewart said.
Bundy, 69, was arrested in Portland last week on charges stemming from a 2014 armed standoff with ‘federal officials’ who were rounding up his cattle over unpaid grazing fees.
Cliven Bundy is accused of unlawfully directing more than 200 followers to stop federal agents and contract cowboys who were trying to enforce a court order to round up about 400 of his cattle two years ago.
“Witnesses have described the level of threatened violence as so intense that something as innocent as the backfire of (a) vehicle, or someone lighting a firecracker, would have set off a firefight,” according to a 34-page document filed by prosecutors Tuesday.
They allege that Bundy and his followers set up traffic checkpoints on public roads and followed and intimidated ‘federal officials’ trying to conduct plant surveys. (Boy, the lies just get more ridiculous by the day.)
Neither the Constitution nor any other law “gives anyone the right to use or carry, let alone brandish, raise or point, a firearm” at ‘federal law enforcers’ performing official duties, “whether one thinks the officer is acting constitutionally or not,” prosecutors wrote. (There’s a twist to the corporation constitution for you!)
To diffuse the standoff, the ‘government’ released the cows. (The ones they had not yet burned to death.)
‘Federal authorities’ have said Bundy owes more than $1 million in fees and penalties for letting cows graze illegally for decades on public land near his ranch. If convicted of all six charges, he could spend the rest of his life in federal prison. (If Americans allow this to happen, then NONE OF US have a hope left for restoring our nation and ridding it of these illegal and unlawful scumbags.)
