Over the weekend, a bunch of yokels took over a federal building. These armed thugs decided they were going to steal other people’s stuff, as usual. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“On Saturday night, dozens of white, armed American militants stormed a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon seeking to take a “hard stand” against federal government “tyranny.” It’s a wild story. Here’s what you need to know…
Q: What do the militants want?
A: In a phone in interview with The Oregonian, another Bundy son, Ryan, laid out the militants’ demands: that the Hammonds be released and that the surrounding federal lands be ceded to local control. “The best possible outcome is that the ranchers that have been kicked out of the area… will come back and reclaim their land, and the wildlife refuge will be shut down forever and the federal government will relinquish such control,” Ryan Bundy said. He added, “What we’re doing is not rebellious. What we’re doing is in accordance with the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.”
Q: Has the federal government reacted to this latest Bundy provocation?
A: Not yet.”*
