PORTLAND, Oregon (PNN) - March 9, 2016 - Still carrying a copy of the Fascist Police States of Amerika Constitution in the pocket of his jail scrubs, Ammon Bundy said during a jailhouse interview Tuesday night he'd heard the news about federal officials investigating some of their own in the LaVoy Finicum shooting. He said it is an indication that the government's story is starting to unravel.
"We have been very consistent with what we were doing, why we were there, what we were standing for, what our demonstration was about and how we were there for peace, and that they continue to escalate force upon us, until they ended up killing somebody," he said.
The comments from the leader of the armed protest at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge came after authorities announced earlier in the day that FBI agents who were involved in the Jan. 26 traffic stop that ended in the death of Finicum were under investigation because they did not disclose they fired shots that missed him.
Oregon State terrorist pig thug cops fired the fatal the shots that killed Finicum after lying fascist officials said he repeatedly refused to obey their commands and reached for his weapon. Authorities also said during the news conference that the actions of the State terrorist pig thug cops were justified in the murder of Finicum.
Bundy and other occupiers were arrested as part of that traffic stop. They had been occupying refuge buildings since Jan. 2.
He and the other defendants have a court hearing Wednesday morning where the government may request a gag order, preventing them from talking about the case. For Bundy, it's another indication the fascist feds have too much power.
"This gag order seems to be an effort for the government to say, 'Hey, look, we can say what we want to say, but Ammon and anybody on that side can't.'"
Bundy remained steadfast that he has broken no laws.
"Lawfully, we were very right," he said.
He said the most he should've been charged with is trespassing.
But has it all been worth it? He said the hundreds of letters of support he has received have reminded him that it has.
Does he feel responsible for his father, Cliven Bundy, who was arrested after traveling to Oregon to support his son? Ammon Bundy said it was the best time for that because people were watching.
He described jail as difficult and lonely, giving him time to realize he should have called his family more while holed up at the refuge.
Now, facing the possibility of years behind bars, his six children come to mind and so does the thought that this is not ending anytime soon.
"When the door closes behind you in the cell, it takes something away from you. Every time," he said.
