Meanwhile Ammon Bundy issued the following statement from his jail cell on Thursday, essentially saying the government is picking on him and blaming everyone but himself for his current predicament.
His statement is as follows:
“This is Ammon Bundy. I just wanted to give you a statement about the NV indictment: the Bundy Ranch. Again, just to help people understand that this is just a continuation of government trying to protect its own power, government taking land that does not belong to them from the people. This is a continuation of them overreaching–going far beyond their constitutional bounds and showing that they are willing to use the court system to prosecute people that were defending their rights; defending their property. And don’t forget what happened at the Bundy Ranch: that they killed cattle, that they tased people, that they threw women on the ground, that they sicced their dogs on pregnant women, that they gang-beat men to the ground for filming them with their iPad. And that they set up a First Amendment right area and saying that you cannot protest outside those corrals. Don’t forget what happened at the Bundy Ranch and how important this is that we make a stand. Thank you.” – Thursday, Feb. 18, 2016
The Bundy Ranch Facebook page posted an earlier recording of a statement from Ammon claiming religious persecution this time instead of government overreach regarding property.
“I reach out to you, that you may know and understand that our circumstances are difficult. Also that you may know that the Lord has been with us in these – our afflictions,” the recording begins.
