A federal judge in Portland denied bail for Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy at a hearing Tuesday.

Magistrate Judge Janice Stewart agreed with prosecutors that Bundy posed a flight risk, is a danger to the community, and should be held in jail while awaiting trial.

“I agree with the government, if he’s released and goes back to his ranch that will be the last the court will see of him,” Stewart said.


During arguments in the courtroom, Steven Myhre, first assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, said Bundy was arrested in Portland because he usually moved around his ranch with bodyguards. Myhre also said Bundy had set up armed checkpoints on his ranch and on public land around his ranch, as well as hosted militia training camps.

“All of this was done to keep the federal government away from him,” Myhre said. “Mr. Bundy, by his actions and his deeds, has shown he’s lawless and that he’s a violent man.”

1. Good. He should pay the $1 million he owes in grazing fees before bail is even considered.

2. USA, USA

Hopefully this will discourage the other militants to reconsider their positions against the government.


Thx, for the update!

3. Ha ha

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Yes!!!

This Guy would have ran in a heart beat. Probably to his relatives in Mexico. Now the Feds can round up the rest of these scofflaws.

23. More to come according to the

Local Feds spokesperson. The Lady who heads up the BLM district here just released a statement this AM saying,she is not in a hurry to reclaim the God Butte area. There are several Bundy Brats still living on the original Ranch. And yes,they are as whacked as the old man.

24. He's got fourteen kids - even with three or four locked up, there are spares

Though if half are female, there may not be many left to fight. I don't think that type of character likes having their womenfolk armed.

On the other hand, he has 60 grandchildren - I wonder how many of them carry guns?

6. Time for a roundup on the Bundy ranch,

gather up all those deadbeat welfare cattle.

15. They're wild, mean and ornery

My dad has a saying regarding the quality of the meat cattle like Bundy's produce: "I bet even the hamburger on those critters is tough."

7. Good. And may he stay behind bars for the rest of his days.

He definitely is a threat to the community and his crimes
are enough to keep him locked up for a long, long time.

14. Unless we get a republican president who will release him as a campaign promise

The way this elections going, I expect one of the right wing wing candidates to make that pledge.

8. "by his actions and his deeds, has shown

he’s lawless and that he’s a violent man.”

9. Heh...the ultimate irony....

..if it wasn't for all those fruit loops with guns "protecting him"....he would have probably made bail.

[byronius]

10. Sensible and sound reasoning.

And off he goes.

[malaise]

11. Good

Bye BYe

12. has shown he’s lawless and that he’s a violent man.

He looks like a traitor, most likely guilty of sedition.

[jmowreader]

16. "Most likely"?

I doubt they'll try him for sedition because the easy shit - conspiracy to commit an offense against the US; assault on a federal officer with a deadly weapon; use and carry of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence; interference with commerce by extortion; obstruction of the administration of justice; and aiding and abetting - will land him in prison denims for a VERY long time.

[AlbertCat]

17. "Most likely"?

Well, he is innocent until proven guilty. But it sure looks like sedition.

[NutmegYankee]

20. He'll die in prison.

Which is completely fine by me.

[daleanime]

13. Good...

18. That airplane ride to Oregon was

the last taste of freedom you will ever know for the rest of your life Cliven. You will never see your ranch or your beloved cows or that beautiful sunset you enjoyed every evening. Was it worth your ignorant convictions Cliven????? Tell me in ten years it was worth it, when you have twenty more to go. Heck you are only 73.

[MH1]

19. YES!!! Made my day. Thanks for posting. nt.

[SCVDem]

21. I trust that Cliven is quite popular

I'm sure everyone is interested in what he knows about "the Negro".

Run your mouth now Bundy!

Don't worry. Where you're going, there are snipers.

22. Could not happen to a more deserving guy.

If they allowed bail, there'd end up being yet another "stand-off" at the Bundy ranch again,
and we'd be back to ground zero.
