"SNIP............
Bundy was arrested at the Portland airport on his way to Burns, Oregon, where his sons had led an armed occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. He was charged with six counts related to the 2014 standoff:
Assault on a federal law enforcement officer
Using and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence
Obstructing justice
Extortion
Aiding and abetting
Conspiracy
The crux of the complaint, which you can read in full below, deals with the events of April 12, 2014. That day, Bundy and his supporters, many of them armed, faced off near the corral where the Bureau of Land Management had impounded Bundy's cattle. The Bureau of Land Management backed down.

These mushrooming groups of White Supremacy under the blanket of Christianity need to know they can't run around like unauthorized militias, pointing weapons at people and disregarding the law. Too many of them have literally gotten away with murder and it's time to show them what happens when they go rogue and disrupt the lives of innocent people in their path. We are no longer a colony of a foreign nation and most Americans aren't interested in a revolution involving weapons and battles.
