So Ammon Bundy surrendered to authorities

[SHRED]

More proof of his cowardice.

[HuckleB]

1. Who didn't know that's what he would do?

You can see the reality in his eyes. He's scared out of his mind. He's a daddy's boy, who never learned to stand up for himself in the family. Ugh.

[Iggo]

4. The Bundysexuals, that's who.

[randys1]

5. And I think it sucks the guy had to die. I blame fox and Rush and so on.

His mind was filled with lies and hatred but it didnt all get there thru his efforts alone.

These people are being lied to and being prodded into action

[HuckleB]

7. Many people affect individuals, indeed.

Thus, we have the possibility of Trump, or Cruz, or who knows who as a GOP nominee. Now, I'm not saying any recent GOP candidate is worth a dime, but in comparison, what is going on in this crazy world?

[Warpy]

13. Dying would have emded his ability to preen for the cameras

while blustering about the consta-too-shun, a document far beyond his level of reading comprehension. He now knows he's going on trial and sees that as another opportunity. I sincerely doubt he's ever considered he'll be convicted of at least some federal offenses and get packed off to prison. He sees himself as a patriot and great orator and thinks no one on a jury will convict him.

I'm just surprised Blue Tarp Man bought it during the bust. I thought they'd all cave.

[HuckleB]

14. I thought that guy was a clear "suicide-by-cop" from the word "go."

I don't even know if he believed any of it. I just think he found a way out.

It's sad.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

2. Yep, in the end he saved his own ass and let Finicum die alone for his convictions. nt

[HuckleB]

3. Finicum clearly chose suicide long ago.

Anyone who thought Bundy would fight is a fool.

[Voice for Peace]

6. The people still holed up are calling him a coward

And the one who suurendered in AZ

[pinboy3niner]

8. That's not cowardice, except in the minds of the diehard militants

That's rational behavior.

[Mister Ed]

11. Thank you.

I don't know or care whether he refrained from opening fire on the arresting officers out of cowardice, or out a sudden flash of restraint and rationality. I'm just glad he refrained. For once, he's set a good example for his fellows.

[SHRED]

12. I agree...

...I was taking him at his words and how he folded like a mouse in contrast to those words.

I'm glad he was arrested and only one death.

[Quixote1818]

9. Well, the Feds gave him plenty of oppertunites to leave with no punishment

and he didn't leave so he did stand up for what he believed to a point. I imagine in these types of instances it's hard to back down because you fear those who followed you will no longer respect you.

[2pooped2pop]

10. after the other guy was killed

he figured it was the only way to get the shit out of his drawers.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

15. One added bonus from all of this is...

Once they're convicted, none of these ass clowns will be able to own any more guns for the rest of their pathetic lives!!!

[SHRED]

16. Yep
