Larry Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 23 minutes ago, CobraCommander said: My brother in law almost had something like this happen to him. He had a gun in the car and told the officer at his driver window. The rookie at the passenger window saw the gun and started yelling the same thing. GUN, GUN, GUN! The senior officer had to calm him down and get the rookie to holster his weapon. Scarred the **** out of my BIL. Decades ago, friend got pulled over. He opened the glove box to get his paperwork, and the magazine from his pistol fell onto the seat. Officer took a step back, put his hand on his pistol, and said "Sir, would you please step out of the car." Friend began to explain that he caries the magazine in the glove box, but the gun is in the trunk. (Unloaded). Before he gets the first sentence out, cop unsnaps the strap on his pistol, and says "Sir, would you please step out of the car." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 It’s not smart to be difficult with the police when you have a gun. If you think otherwise, well, good luck with that. Also second officers perspective shows his gun jamming and while he seemed to handle it perfectly fine, he clearly missed the cease fire call dealing with it and squeezes one off at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Sovereign Citizens Turn on Each Other Over $200K Fake License Plates Members of the far right sovereign citizen movement are best known for their clashes with law enforcement. In traffic stops and courtrooms across the country, sovereign citizens have tried—and failed—to implement their bizarre homemade legal theories when faced with the enforcement of legitimate laws. But now two prominent branches of the movement have turned on one another, feuding over a lucrative scheme to sell fake license plates for a nonexistent “Republic of Texas.” The feud pits the citizens of a fictitious entity called the “Republic of Texas” against David Straight, a so-called sovereign-citizen “guru” whose seminars on his legal theories have raked in big money across the country. Complicating the spat further, Straight’s wife was arrested Monday on a raft of charges. In the past, Straight and the so-called “Texians” have been natural allies. They both subscribe to the eclectic ideas of the sovereign citizen movement which broadly encompasses groups of people who believe they exist in parallel legal universes and can, through elaborate legal filings and careful courtroom rhetoric, evade actual laws. But the relationship between the Texas sovereign citizens and one of the movement’s most prominent members broke down this month, after the Texas group accused Straight of getting rich by selling fake license plates that sovereign citizens believe would help them avoid police. In total, the group claims Straight may have made nearly $200,000 off the bogus plates. Straight and the Republic of Texas’ leadership didn’t respond to requests for comment.

China Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Judge issues warrant for Ammon Bundy, who has ignored St. Luke’s lawsuit for nearly 1 year An Idaho judge issued a civil arrest warrant Tuesday for Ammon Bundy, after he repeatedly failed to appear in court or respond to a lawsuit filed by St. Luke’s Health System. Ada County Judge Lynn Norton found probable cause that Bundy committed contempt and set his bail at $10,000, a figure she called “reasonable.” Bundy wasn’t present in the courtroom, though several of his supporters were. “I can’t really arraign him since he’s not here,” Norton said. “I think it’s impossible not to conclude that, absent Mr. Bundy having some consequences for his actions, it will just continue,” said Erik Stidham, an attorney who is representing St. Luke’s. St. Luke’s last May filed a lawsuit against Bundy, his gubernatorial campaign and other business entities, as well as his friend, Diego Rodriguez, and Rodriguez’s organizations. Protests over the hospitalization of Rodriguez’s infant grandson last year that resulted in the redirection of emergency services and a lockdown of the downtown Boise campus were simply a “grift” to enrich themselves and boost their own publicity, the health system alleged. It could take several days for Bundy to be arraigned. Norton considered a few other motions made by St. Luke’s legal team, including a request for a “discovery referee” to help compel Bundy and Rodriguez, his co-defendant, to produce documents and other records that can be used at trial. She said she would rule on the request at a later date. Norton also ordered that Bundy, Rodriguez, as well as other business entities controlled by one or the other, are required to appear for depositions. A jury trial in the case is set for July.

China Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 He has no counsel: Ammon Bundy files petition to move case to federal court After lengthy legal action by St Luke's Hospital against Ammon Bundy, Diego Rodriquez, Freedom Man PAC, People's Rights Network and Freedom Man Press LLC over defamation. Bundy, who has largely ignored it, has now filed a petition to move the case to a federal court. The petition, filed Monday, May 1, claims that the case could be moved to federal court because it involves people that now live in different states, the matter exceeds sums of $75,000, Bundy has no counsel and that he and the other petitioners have been "put in jeopardy" by exercising their right to free speech and right to assemble. "All protected acts listed in the 1st Amendment of the United States Constitution. Additionally, pursuant to the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution, 'Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' clause, Petitioners have been deprived of their right of procedural due process pursuant to the 5th and 6th amendments, and finally the right of equal rights pursuant to the 14th Amendment," the petition stated. However, as KTVB has previously reported, St. Luke's has repeatedly tried to engage in the legal process with Bundy, and he has repeatedly ignored requests and legal notices. Attorneys for St. Luke's sent KTVB a statement in regard to the petition. Quote "St. Luke’s understands that Ammon Bundy filed a petition to remove the lawsuit against him to federal court. St. Luke’s has no problem with the Idaho federal courts and has no problem with the state courts in Ada County. But we believe there is no legal basis for federal jurisdiction in this case.

China Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Far-right activist Ammon Bundy’s latest standoff is in court A far-right activist best known for his showdowns with federal and state law enforcement officials in Oregon and Nevada is waging a one-sided standoff of a different kind after refusing to comply with court orders in an Idaho defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit by St. Luke’s Regional Health was filed more than a year ago, accusing Ammon Bundy and his close associate Diego Rodriguez of making defamatory statements against the hospital and its employees after Rodriguez’s infant grandson was temporarily removed from his family and taken to St. Luke’s amid concerns for his health. Since then, Bundy has ignored court orders related to the lawsuit, filed trespassing complaints against people hired to deliver legal paperwork, and called on scores of his followers to camp at his home for protection when he learned he might be arrested on a warrant for a misdemeanor charge of contempt of court. In the current lawsuit, Bundy seems to be following a “blueprint,” using rhetoric similar to that used in the Oregon and Nevada standoffs to escalate the conflict, said Devin Burghart, the director of the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights. Burghart has been hired by St. Luke’s attorneys to serve as an expert witness in the defamation lawsuit. “Bundy has attempted to take the lawsuit and make it into something larger. If he’s able to take this trial and turn it into a larger confrontation, that could be very problematic,” Burghart said. Fewer people seem willing to put their own lives on hold to stay at Bundy’s property this time, Burghart noted. The in-person response may be dwarfed by online reaction. At least three witnesses in the defamation lawsuit are unwilling to testify against Bundy in court, according to court documents filed by St. Luke’s, because they fear they might be harmed by Bundy’s supporters. “Intimidation, defamation, doxing, trespass, threats of violence, armed ‘protests’ at homes and businesses and, when all else fails, armed standoffs with law enforcement — these are the weapons of choice for Ammon Bundy and his more than 60,000-member strong militia, People’s Rights Network,” attorneys for St. Luke’s Health System wrote in a recent court filing. Bundy, meanwhile, recently told followers that he would rather “go back to Heavenly Father” than return to jail — though contempt convictions generally carry a maximum jail sentence of five days under Idaho law. Bundy also maintains he won’t stop making the allegedly defamatory statements against St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center regardless of any court ruling, because he claims his liberty is at stake. Sheriff’s deputies stopped by Bundy’s property at least twice in recent weeks to serve the arrest warrant, but left when they were told Bundy wasn’t home. Bundy, who previously said he was ignoring the court documents because he wanted the case to end quickly, has now asked to have the case moved to federal court.

China Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Conservatives Are Now Trying To Create ‘Constitutional Counties,’ Which Happen To Be Unconstitutional Declaring its community a “constitutional county” on May 23, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners in Ottawa County, Michigan, voted 9-1 not to enforce any law or rule that “restricts the rights of any law-abiding citizen affirmed by the United States Constitution.” Nor will the county provide aid or resources to any state or federal agency that county officials judge to be infringing on or restricting those rights. Ottawa is not the first county in Michigan to declare itself a refuge from what its leaders say are anti- or unconstitutional actions undertaken by an overzealous state or federal authority. Livingston County, also in Michigan, passed a similar resolution in April 2023. It is not clear how many there are, exactly, but there are also self-designated constitutional counties in Virginia, Texas, Nevada and New York. As a scholar of constitutional theory, I believe more will follow, especially in the roughly 1,100 counties of the nation’s 3,200 counties that have already declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries. But where Second Amendment sanctuaries aim to create havens for gun rights allegedly under siege, the constitutional county movement has a broader agenda. One of the drafters of the Ottawa Resolution, for example, explained, “As we wrote this resolution … we recognized the need to protect not only Second Amendment rights but all constitutional rights. … We wish to highlight freedoms and constitutional rights which have been violated over the past few years, as well as those currently at risk due to societal and political pressures.” Although the two Michigan county resolutions are chiefly symbolic and do little more than encourage – rather than order – local law enforcement authorities and local officials to disregard federal laws they claim are unconstitutional, the dangers they pose to the U.S. constitutional system are substantial. This way of thinking is profoundly mistaken and undermines Americans’ collective commitment to constitutional democracy. Declaring oneself a constitutional county undermines the authority of officials authorized to act under the Constitution. I believe it ultimately subverts the authority of the Constitution itself.

China Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Ammon Bundy arrested on warrant in Gem County Ammon Bundy, the anti-government provocateur, has been arrested according to the Gem County dispatch service. Bundy has had an active arrest warrant since mid-April after an Ada County judge found him in contempt of court for refusing to show up to legal proceedings for nearly a year over a civil lawsuit filed by St. Luke’s Health System. His bail was set at $10,000. Gem County Sheriff Donnie Wunder was initially hesitant to serve Bundy legal notices in the case, saying he didn’t want to risk harm coming to his deputies “…over a civil issue.” The state’s largest health system sued Bundy, as well as his associate, Diego Rodriguez, for defamation. Both men accused the hospital of kidnapping Rodriguez’s infant grandson, who was the subject of a child protection case. Bundy and Rodriguez called for protests over the child’s hospitalization, which eventually resulted in a lockdown at St. Luke’s downtown Boise campus, along with threats called into the hospital’s switchboard, according to a sworn statement by the organization’s vice president of population health. An Ada County jury sided with St. Luke’s last month, forcing him, his associate, Diego Rodriguez, and their respective business entities to pay the hospital $52.5 million, according to the Idaho Statesman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Ammon Bundy Wants Arrest to Make Him a Martyr, Hospital Lawyer Claims Far-right provocateur Ammon Bundy—who was arrested at his son’s football banquet on Friday—could have bonded out by posting $10,000. But instead he was spending the weekend cooling his heels in an Idaho jail. That’s no accident, according to a lawyer for the hospital that has been locked in a legal battle with the militia leader. Erik Stidham, a lawyer for St. Luke’s Health System, told The Daily Beast in a statement, “Mr. Bundy could easily get out of jail now by paying an extremely low bond. He is not paying the bond because he wants to use his arrest and time in jail to further a false narrative that he is some kind of martyr.” “Mr. Bundy is not a martyr, he is a grifter who continues to grift his followers by asking them to shield him [from] paying damages and facing the contempt charges,” Stidham added.

China Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Judge grants St. Luke’s injunction limiting Ammon Bundy’s finances. Here’s what it does A new judicial order puts curbs on Ammon Bundy’s financial freedom, and the far-right activist already has indicated his intention to defy it. In a move to get the millions of dollars in damages that Bundy owes St. Luke’s Health System and three staff members, the plaintiffs requested that a judge in Gem County take action to ensure that the former gubernatorial candidate could not move around money and assets. Third District Judge Brent Whiting signed a preliminary injunction Friday granting the hospital’s request. “St. Luke’s appreciates that the process is moving forward,” Erik Stidham, its attorney, told the Idaho Statesman by phone. “We certainly hope Mr. Bundy complies with the preliminary injunction, and we look forward to getting this resolved through the proper legal process.” Click on the link for trhe full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributing material support for a terrorist plot carries a punishment of up to 20 years in prison. The jury also found each of the men not guilty of possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony, which carries an automatic two-year prison sentence, in addition to any other prison time.

China Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Failing to appear in court, judge issues arrest warrant for Ammon Bundy Activist Ammon Bundy failed to appear for the start of his court trial on Monday, and the Ada County Courthouse has issued a warrant for his arrest. Bundy was expected to appear in court on a contempt charge with a hearing expected to take four days. After failing to appear, Judge Nancy Baskin issued a warrant of attachment for arrest, commonly issued to bring the person charged to answer. The warrant will allow Bundy to be arrested, though is tied to a conduct breach as opposed to a criminal charge. The warrant comes with a $250,000 bond. He's facing Contempt of Court charges after allegedly violating a court order to stop intimidating witnesses and plaintiffs. Specifically those involved in the St. Luke's defamation case where Bundy and an associate were ordered to pay over $50 million in damages. According to the Ada County Courthouse, Bundy was also served a notice of Forfeiture of a $10,000 Surety Bond.

China Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Florida Sovereign Citizens Learn The Hard Way They Do In Fact Need A Driver's License Officers from the Volusia Sheriff’s Department in Florida managed to snag two sovereign citizens in one traffic stop after a man’s partner-in-incoherence arrived at the scene to argue with police officers over the weekend. That’s just a whole list of what not to do during a traffic stop. Volusia Sheriff’s deputies initiated the traffic stop on Saturday due to spotting allegedly fake paper plates on a truck driven by Detry Wogerman. In the original 11-minute video from body cams on the officers, the officer who initiated the stop called the truck out as a potential SC right away to dispatch. After a lot of needless back and forth it becomes clear that, surprise, surprise, the truck was indeed unregistered. Wogerman also insisted he didn’t need a driver’s license and therefore didn’t have one; just a stack of papers apparently declaring him a post master. As you can see in the video, the entire interaction was punctuated with the cop’s heavy sighs as he was talked at by both Wogerman and fellow ranting SC on the phone, Laralynne Naboznyin. The police eventually arrested Wogerman for having no ID and driving an unregistered vehicle moments before Naboznyin arrived on the scene. Her presence did not improve the situation.

China Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Militia Leader Ammon Bundy Hints At Retaliation After Losing $52M Defamation Suit Anti-government extremist Ammon Bundy hinted at retaliation against the “wicked, wicked people” who took his family’s money after he lost a $52.5 million defamation suit against an Idaho hospital. Bundy is known for leading the 2016 occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, and for his 2022 Idaho gubernatorial campaign. He believes “that individuals have the right to complete and total control over their life and their property,” according to the Anti-Defamation League. St. Luke’s Regional Health in Boise, ID, sued Bundy and his associate Diego Rodriguez for defaming the hospital after Rodriguez’s infant grandson was removed from the family on suspicion of malnourishment. Rodriguez claimed the baby was “kidnapped” by people engaged in “child trafficking,” while Bundy urged his followers to protest at the hospital and the homes of child protective service employees. Bundy was ordered to pay the plaintiffs $6.2 million in compensatory damages and $6.15 million in punitive damages, while Rodriguez owed $7 million in compensatory damages and $6.5 million in punitive damages. The remainder of the money was ordered to come from Bundy’s far-right organizations: the People’s Rights Network, Freedom Man Press, and the Bundy campaign for governor. On a rambling YouTube livestream, Bundy claimed his wife and son’s bank accounts had been raided, and he lost his Idaho home as the court sought to collect the damages. He called the civil award against him “illegitimate,” and issued a veiled threat on the video. “I’m almost about ready to say, you know, all those people I’ve said ‘don’t do anything to these people… don’t do anything, it’s not right to retaliate.’ I’m almost ready to say, ‘You know what? The hell with it,’” he said. Bundy added, “I mean I want to just go fighting. Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
