Ammon Bundy says he went to Oregon because "The Lord was not pleased" and wanted "accountability"

[Bjorn Against]

In a YouTube video released Dec. 31, Ammon Bundy says that God directed him to go to Oregon, a state he had never visited before.

"I began to understand how the Lord felt about the Hammonds," Bundy says in the video. "I began to understand how the Lord felt about Harney County and about this country. And I clearly understood that the Lord was not pleased with what was happening to the Hammonds… If we allowed the Hammonds to continue to be punished, there would be accountability."

In another video, also posted Dec. 31, militia member John Ritzheimer bids farewell to his family as he prepares to drive to Oregon, where he says he is "100 percent willing to lay my life down in order to fight tyranny."

Let's be very clear; this is an act of terrorism from religious extremists.

[saltpoint]

1. Wee little domestic terrorist

hiding behind Jesus' robe.

[roguevalley]

25. fuck this guy says this oregonian. every rancher in my family

And all are eastern oregonian paid their bills. It was a religion with them. He doesnt. His word means zip. He's no western man.

[saltpoint]

30. My comment speaks to Ammon Bundy's

invocation of "the Savior" to justify his violation of law.

[haikugal]

2. Fundy's come in many flavors.

Isolate them, cut them off so they can't advertise themselves. Have a water truck available if needed for fire protection. Arrest and prosecute...this has to end. They want to be martyrs.

[roguevalley]

13. As an Oregonian, I say get your sorry fat ass back to crazy town. We don't need your sorry ass in

our great state. That is all. -RV

[haikugal]

33. Yeah but there are more than a few Oregonians that support this stuff.

I agree with you, however...crazy town exists everywhere.

[MohRokTah]

3. White Christian Terrorism.

I predict the government will acquiesce to their demands and nobody will do a day in jail, let alone end up in federal prison.

Given reactions on DU, the Bundy Doctrine will apply here as it did with that rank terrorism.

"We do NOT negotiate with terrorists"*

*Unless they are Caucasian.

[meow2u3]

24. More like White Mormon Terrorism

Many Christians don't regard Mormons as Christian.

[daleanime]

28. Your kill them now bit.....

is very depressing, if I wanted this level of discussion I could be talking to tRump supporters. Jail is not negotiation, and jail is where they belong.

[MohRokTah]

29. They threatened violence against any move to remove them and they are white.

Ergo, there's only one possible outcome.

The Feds will cave in and nobody will do time.

[LittleBlue]

4. He should have left the Lord out of it to maintain some shred of credibility

It's one thing to say you're protesting an unjust prison sentence. Now he just looks like some dude being led to Oregon by the voices in his head.

[gratuitous]

5. God is not pleased with mandatory minimum sentences?

Strange how the Big Guy didn't get very jazzed about it until conservative white men were subject to that law. All those other folks who had to serve mandatory minimums for a rock of crack? God didn't care. But a white man having to serve the full five years for setting a fire to cover up evidence of another crime? To your tents, O Israel!

[99th_Monkey]

6. Absolutely! Imagine if these armed-to-the-teeth guys were Muslim's or AA's

I posted this OP last night after hearing about this armed insurrection, in tiny snippets
of news that may have missed had I blinked. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027493002

Another similar take on this from AddictingInfo

[Gman]

7. Radicalized right wing christianists

So when will the media ask how they were radicalized? Were they "normal" and visited some nut right wing preacher and came away radicalized? Will we see quotes from family and friends saying they were fun people until they visited this preacher? Then they acted dark and started talking about the constitution and founding fathers?

8. How does this fit the definition of terrorism?

[Bjorn Against]

10. An armed take over of a federal building is clearly terrorism

Terrorism is defined as violence or the threat of violence to achieve political goals. This group is armed and they have explicitly stated that they will use violence if there is any attempt to remove them from the property.

Would you consider it terrorism if ISIS did the exact same thing?

[MohRokTah]

9. White Christian Terrorism. eom

[Geronimoe]

11. Imagine if they were

mothers against fracking for clean, safe water for their children. They would be declared eco-terrorists.

[MisterP]

12. someone named "Ammon" isn't gonna start out in the Almighty's good graces, I don't tink

now meet the cousins, Gomorrah and Belphegor

[Android3.14]

14. In interviews on the networks, these guys sound as dull-witted as Carson

Flat voices, little affect, droning tone. Not sure what it means, but the similarities are there.

[Sky Masterson]

15. If only they weren't white

They would be shot and arrested or arrested and shot..

[The Wielding Truth]

26. That's what I've been thinking. Such different treatment for these nuts.

[spanone]

16. fundies with guns....this could get ugly.

[MoreGOPoop]

17. WhiteAmmoSexualProtestants

Society's rules & regs won't do. Democracy for me,
but none for you.

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Batshit!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

19. Radical Cleric Ammon Bundy

We need to stop letting in immigrants from Christian countries. And moderate evangelicals need to speak up and denounce these radical yee-hawdists

[AzDar]

20. I consider those who take directive from invisible entities to have some type of disorder...

and urge them to seek professional medical assistance.

[A Simple Game]

21. All of this has me wondering who's guarding the father?

Does he still have to answer for any offenses? Is there still a contingent of militia there? Would this be a good time to take action against the father?

And...

Ammon, if I were you and thought that the lord was not pleased and wanted accountability, I would be fearful of my life. That and I would wonder why the lord wanted me to go to Oregon to hold me accountable for my past sins.

[Eleanors38]

22. So, Mars is whispering in his ear again?

[annabanana]

23. bingo. . . n/t

[Dawson Leery]

27. Strange that Cliven would chose a Nazi War Criminal to name his son after:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amon_Goeth

[UTUSN]

32. ...

[LeftyMom]

39. Ammon is a name from the Book of Mormon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammon_(Book_of_Mormon_missionary)
and also
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammon_(Book_of_Mormon_explorer)

The BOM recycles a lot of names, this is not uncommon.

[Skittles]

31. nutcase

[NastyRiffraff]

34. The voices in his head..

It used to be called "mental illness," aka "batshit crazy." Now it's Jesus! Kinda like Jeb!

[uriel1972]

35. Um... before it was called mental illness...

If you liked what was said, they were recieving messages from Above... If you didn't you burned them at the stake.

[LynneSin]

36. The Lord was also not pleased that the Eagles had another shitty football season...

so we had Chip Kelly fired last week

Seriously, I don't think that's how the Lord works else I'd be using it for all the misery in my life.

[struggle4progress]

37. "Then the Lord said unto Ammon, Hurry thee now to the wildlife refuge in midwinter, taking with thee

neither socks nor snacks. And when Ammon went, Behold! he found the refuge was cold and empty, without either socks or snacks, just as in his vision"

[L. Coyote]

38. Well, the Lord is really pissed off that there are still Republicans too, but

you don't see me occupying Trump Towers (not that I'm recommending we take over billionaire mansions, a la Bundy).
