I'm pretty confused what exactly was done, and why, to Davey .
The closest I can tell, they arrested him for refusing to disperse on a closed highway and then resisting arrest. I find it very hard to take anything the Bundy family says at face value, particularly when they're claiming he was "exercising his constitutional rights" when we've seen how that can mean anything from threatening to lynch government employees, bulldozing archaeological sites, and fortifying a seized building with firearms and explosives.

quote:

The 37-year-old said heavily armed federal agents roughed him up and arrested him for exercising his constitutional rights on a state highway in northeast Clark County on Sunday.

“They got on their loudspeaker and said that everyone needed to leave,” Dave Bundy said during an impromptu news conference alongside his father outside a 7-Eleven on Las Vegas Boulevard. “I stood there and continued to express my First Amendment right to protest, and they approached me and said that if I didn’t leave, they’d arrest me.”

The younger Bundy said he was taking photographs and protesting peacefully at the time.

Natalie Collins, a spokeswoman for the Nevada U.S. attorney’s office, said Bundy was cited on misdemeanor charges of “refusing to disperse” and resisting arrest.

Earlier, BLM spokeswoman Kirsten Cannon said Bundy was taken into custody to “protect public safety and maintain the peace.”

“The Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service support the public’s right to express opinions peacefully and lawfully. However, if an individual threatens, intimidates or assaults another individual or impedes the impoundment, they may be arrested in accordance with local, state or Federal laws,” Cannon said in a statement.

Cliven Bundy viewed his son’s arrest differently.

On the one hand, anyone getting beat for "resisting arrest" is typically bullshit and shouldn't happen. On the other hand, I know it would be super easy to find evidence of Davey saying that if "urban ferals" didn't want to get beat on by cops maybe they should obey the law.

I wouldn't trust anything the Bundys say. The feds and the BLM are no fans of them so I kind of took that report about his cattle being wild with a grain of salt, but it sounds like if anything it was an understatement about how bad of a rancher he was. Here's a quote from the family in a different article:

quote:

“Our cattle is our livelihood, we take good care of them. They are well-fed and receive plenty or water,” one family member told FoxNews.com, dismissing claims that the herd was destroying government lands and property. “The manure fertilizes the ground, their grazing prevents fires. I would invite anyone to come out here and see for themselves that the cattle is well looked after. The government wants to paint us as inhumane, but we are a God-fearing family. We wouldn’t have a livelihood if we destroyed our own land and cattle.”

I'm no ranching expert, but if you look at the Bundy Ranch on Google maps it's basically a couple farms along the nearby road and then endless desert. I'm sure letting a non-native species poo poo everywhere and forage freely is super awesome for the environment and really contributes to making that dry desert soil fertile for the desert brush.

He got a little shiner, probably from his fat rear end body bouncing off the ground. I don't see anything to suggest a "beating".

Planet Money recently did an interesting podcast called Larry vs. The IRS

Old rich white dude and his old rich white dude lawyer buddy believe they don't have to pay taxes because they declare themselves sovereign citizens and think the Internal in Internal Revenue Service means that only people receiving money from the Federal government can be taxed. Because it's money internal to the Fed. Larry sets up a trust where all his money goes instead of to himself so that he technically has no income (though he is obviously the beneficiary of the trust). He thinks taxes are bad and says we should have toll roads if we want them so badly.

He is an unrepentant rear end in a top hat throughout and still seems angry that he had to pay back taxes even though he knows his arguments were bullshit.

LaVoy is driving around spreading freedom one day when he gets domed by an Oregon State Policeman. Because he was a good patriot he wakes up in Heaven and gazes upon the infinite glory of God, who he notices is wearing a robe with gold fringe.

"You can't fool me, Satan!" He shouts as he fumbles for his pistol. God strikes LaVoy down. LaVoy wakes up to find Satan welcoming him to hell.

"You can't fool me, Muhammed!" He shouts as he fumbles for his pistol. Satan strikes LaVoy down. LaVoy wakes up to find Muhammed welcoming him to Muslim heaven.

quote:

More than 100 people gather in Portland in memory of LaVoy Finicum

More than 100 men and women gathered Saturday in downtown Portland to pay homage to Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, the Oregon wildlife refuge occupier who was shot and killed by state police Jan. 26 as they moved in to arrest him.

The protesters assembled under cloudy skies in front of the Multnomah County jail in downtown Portland. For more than two hours, the park across from the detention center was home to a moving forest of signs and flags as Finicum supporters cheered and shouted. A few dozen counter-protesters kept pace with their own blow-horns and chants.

It was one several rallies planned in at least 35 states for Finicum, whose death has become a rallying point for people who believe the federal government is infringing on people's rights. Rallies were scheduled throughout the day at U.S. courthouses, public parks and capitol buildings, including in Salem, Bend and in Olympia, Washington.

Although on the whole the protest was peaceful, a shouting match began mere minutes after its 11 a.m. start.

"Keep your Bundy hands off our public lands," counter-protesters chanted, referring either to the leader of the refuge occupation, Ammon Bundy, or his father, Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.

A pro-occupier demonstrator carrying a sign that said "Release God's People" shouted back: "No way, man, it is public land. We own it, we the people."

A central theme of this and other occupation-related protests has been the alleged federal overreach that has infringed on ranchers' rights. The occupiers had demanded that the land in eastern Oregon be handed over to local control, and that two ranchers imprisoned for burning federal land be released.

Finicum was one of dozens of militants who occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon for almost a month. On Jan. 26, FBI agents and Oregon State Police troopers stopped him as he and other militants were driving to a community meeting in John Day. Finicum was shot after the FBI said he reached twice for a pocket where he had a loaded 9mm pistol.

This rally and the dozens of others around the country are intended to spread awareness of the arrests of 25 refuge occupiers as well as to gather signatures in support of an investigation into Finicum's death, a spokeswoman for the Finicum family said.

A woman who said she was a second cousin to one of the arrested occupiers, Jon Ritzheimer, said she came to Portland from Eagle Point to support him because he "fought for our constitution and is standing up for his rights."

Ritzheimer, along with two dozen others associated with the 41-day occupation, is charged with conspiracy to impede a federal officer through intimidation or force. The sentence carries a maximum sentence of six years, plus fines.

Soon after the Portland rally began, the protesters marched around the park. They then gathered in the middle and organizer Kelli Stewart told them to look toward the window of the Multnomah County jail that she said was the window to Ammon Bundy's cell. In unison, the protesters saluted in that direction, then held a moment of silence, as a horn from the counter-protesters continued to blare.

A woman wearing a blue tarp, which has become a symbol for Finicum, sang the national anthem and Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." Finicum became known as "tarp man" after doing a series of interviews with a blue tarp over his head.

Finicum supporters were urged to not engage with counter-protesters and stuck to their script. Police had braced for the possibility that some participants might openly carry weapons, but an Oregonian/OregonLive reporter did not see any demonstrators with firearms.

Around noon the protest moved to city hall, where someone had set up a small shrine for Finicum. It consisted of a large photograph of him, 11 candles, a tarp on a lawn chair and a straw hat.

Though the two protest camps stayed mostly separated, there was some tension near the end when counter-protesters came too close for some of the Finicum ralliers' comfort.

A woman held a blow-horn as a man stood next to her holding a pole with a Snickers bar and handcuffs hanging from the end. The candy bar was a reference to occupiers' plea for snacks at the beginning of the occupation.

People gathered around the two counter-protesters as the leader of a prominent anti-government group appeared to push the man with the pole from behind. Police intervened and things quickly calmed down, though the counter-protesters did not leave.

By that point the number of protesters had gone down to a few dozen, with people planning to go to Salem for a protest there.

Finicum's death has become a flashpoint for people who see it as part of a pattern of behavior by an unjust government. Many have called his death a murder, saying Finicum was "ambushed" by law enforcement and that his death could have been avoided.

Most of the leaders of the occupation were arrested the same day Finicum died.

Many of the occupiers left voluntarily soon after. The occupation ended Feb. 11 after the last four holdouts surrendered.

Now that's a pretty good way to desecrate a tarp but I prefer camping. By dirtying up a tarp and also disposing of human waste properly, you can insult his memory in two ways simultaneously.
