But he’s a patriot fighting against an overreaching government, right? Wrong, sorry Bundy and company you do not have the right to seize property of any type at gun point.
As we talk about violence of any sort, let’s remember that the Cliven Bundy confrontation could’ve been deadly. Let’s remember how so many are chanting “Blue Lives Matter” nowadays but these assh*les were pointing their guns at police and other authority for a guy who refused to pay grazing fees.

Gregory Burleson, 53, of Phoenix, was found guilty in April of eight felony counts, including charges of threatening and assaulting federal officers, obstruction of justice, interstate travel in aid of extortion and firearms offenses related to a crime of violence.
