After an arrest had been made during a traffic stop where gunshots were fired, Oregon militia leader Ammon Bundy was arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.

Bundy, along with five other militia passengers, are currently waiting for a federal flight to Guantanamo Bay military prison and will wait until the government decides what to do with them.

The two-month standoff ended with violence after at least two men were shot and one killed, but the suspects are now in federal custody.

FBI Director James B. Comey told CNN, “Bundy is currently at Portland’s International Airport where he awaits a flight to Guantanamo Bay. It’s standard procedure for assumed terrorists.

“Gotta love the Patriot Act.”

Bundy’s lawyer, Al Kelly filed an order to have him stay in America where his client is guaranteed constitutional rights. “Why the Hell are they sending him to Guantanamo? We don’t know what type of right he will or will not have. This is gross miss justice by the US government. Now I know how those Arabs feel. Innocent or guilty, you are stuck in judicial purgatory.

“If this is a scare tactic, it is uncalled for, and we will fight this charge.”

    Satira Tribune… Is this another “Onion”? Personally I truly dislike articles like these posing as real news… It’s tough enough sorting through all the screaming without “satire” hiding out amongst the chaff…

    “‘We don’t know what type of right he will or will not have. This is gross miss justice “‘ - someone needs to learn how to write. Education is a good thing.

    Not a tactic, the Patriot Act and it is Unconstitutional. I think they are domestic terrorists regardless but, there is plenty of room to handle this under the Constitution.

    Bundy is indeed a domestic terrorist and you will not find a judge to rule otherwise!

    Sharp, 18, claims she was one of three people in the back seat of a white truck driven by Finicum, one of the armed occupiers at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Sharp says she and seven siblings went to the occupation site recently to sing Christian songs and provide “moral support for the protest of the federal government.”

    They left the refuge near Burns last Tuesday for a community meeting in another town. The FBI said it had information that Finicum and the others in two vehicles were armed.

    Finicum pulled away from an attempt to arrest him and Ammon Bundy, the leader of the nearly four-week occupation. A dramatic chase down tree-lined U.S. 395 ensued. As shown on an FBI video taken from a pursuing helicopter, it ends when Finicum swerves to miss a roadblock, nearly hitting an officer and plowing into deep snow.

    The driver quickly exits the video with hands in the air.

    That’s virtually the only point on which Sharp, of Lakeside, Montana, and authorities concur. While the occupiers said “America was fired upon by our government,” the FBI released the video on Thursday, saying Finicum had reached at least twice for a pocket containing a handgun. The agency said it wanted to present “an honest and unfiltered view” of the confrontation.

    Sharp said Thursday that as soon as the vehicle hit the snow bank, she heard shots hit the truck. It’s not clear on the video whether any rounds were hitting the vehicle.

    “He had his hands up,” Sharp said. “He was shouting that if they were going to shoot, then just shoot him. I remember him saying that if they shoot him, it’s an innocent man’s blood on their hands.”

    As seen on the FBI video, Finicum reaches twice toward a jacket pocket. Officers fire. Finicum falls to the ground. The FBI said it recovered a loaded 9mm semiautomatic handgun in that left side pocket of his jacket.

    Sharp said she heard three shots and saw Finicum fall. “He wasn’t doing anything aggressive, anything,” she insisted. “He was just walking with his hands up.”

    When asked whether Finicum reached for a weapon, Sharp said, “He was not showing any signs of aggression.”
