The idiot committed suicide by cop. We have all seen the vids. All he had to do was drop his weapon.
The point is he would still be alive to begin with if the Feds had not abused their BLM grazing rights.
Of course, this is a lie. Oh yeah, has Bundy paid the tax payers back for illegally grazing his cattle on federal land. Maybe he can pay the after Stump caughs up his income tax returns.
And you just made the point very clear. Gov. side argument.
Why has he not been prosecuted for tax evasion?
Much simpler if it were true.
You ain't so smart, are you?

998–2012: Legal actions[
edit]
United States v. Bundy "arose out of Bundy’s unauthorized grazing of his livestock on property owned by the United States and administered by the Department of the Interior through the BLM and the National Park Service."
[32] On November 3, 1998, United States District Judge
Johnnie B. Rawlinson "permanently enjoined (Bundy) from grazing his livestock within the Bunkerville Allotment ("The Allotment"), and shall remove his livestock from this allotment on or before November 30, 1998... (and) ordered that Plaintiff shall be entitled to trespass damages from Bundy in the amount of $200.00 per day per head for any livestock belonging to Bundy remaining on the Bunkerville Allotment after November 30, 1998."
[3] Rawlinson wrote that "[t]he government has shown commendable restraint in allowing this trespass to continue for so long without impounding Bundy’s livestock."
[3] This sentence was restated on October 8, 2013, by District Judge
Larry R. Hicks.
[32] On September 17, 1999, after Bundy failed to comply with the court's earlier order(s), the court issued another order directing Bundy to comply with the 1998 permanent injunction and modifying the trespass damages owed.

2012–15: Legal actions[
edit]
Bundy's cattle expanded into additional public land over the years. A planned April 2012 roundup of his cattle was called off when Bundy made violent threats against the Bureau of Land Management. The bureau's requests for assistance from the Clark County Sheriff's Department were met by a demand of Sheriff Doug Gillespie that the bureau seek a new warrant because, he said, the original 1998 order had become "stale."
[34]
Because of Gillespie's demand, in May 2012 the government filed a second
United States v. Bundy case,
[a] seeking renewed enforcement authority for the original court orders along with relief for Bundy's trespassing on a new set of additional lands not covered by the original 1998 ruling: "including public lands within the
Gold Butte area that are administered by the BLM, and National Park System land within the
Overton Arm and Gold Butte areas of the
Lake Mead National Recreation Area."
[35] On December 21, 2012, the United States moved for summary judgment in this new case, and this motion was granted in an order signed by Senior District Judge
Lloyd D. George on July 9, 2013.
[35] The ruling permanently
enjoined Bundy and his cattle from trespassing on the New Trespass Lands.
[35] Another order was issued by Judge Larry R. Hicks on October 8, 2013, which stemmed from the earlier 1998 civil action against Bundy. The order allows the United States to "protect the ... Bunkerville Allotment
