Do I have this right? These are the guys who have pretended to be under siege for weeks, right? Armed sentries, the works?
Now they put their entire leadership in a couple of cars and announce to the world that they're going to make a 70-mile drive on a deserted road through what must in their minds be considered hostile territory. Nobody thought that perhaps that wasn't the greatest idea?
That right there is flat-out stupid. Mind-bogglingly, indescribably dumb. If you needed any proof that whoever bragged of military experience in that camp was wildly overstating their experience, you just got it.
In an avalanche of bad ideas coming from the Bundys, that one has had to be the worst. And that is saying something.
"During that arrest, there were shots fired," the FBI said. "One individual who was a subject of a federal probable cause arrest is deceased. ... One individual suffered non-life threatening injuries."
Those arrested were:
• Ammon Edward Bundy, age 40, of Emmett, Idaho
• Ryan C. Bundy, age 43, of Bunkerville, Nev.
• Brian Cavalier, age 44, of Bunkerville, Nev.
• Shawna Cox, age 59, Kanab, Utah
• Ryan Waylen Payne, age 32, of Anaconda, Mont.
Also arrested, in Burns, at about 5:50 p.m. PT, was:
• Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, age 45, Cottonwood, Ariz.
Officials said all six of those arrested face a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 372.
