2 men in Nevada standoff case plead guilty in federal court

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two defendants became the first to plead guilty Thursday to federal charges in an armed confrontation with U.S. officials over grazing rights near cattleman and open-range advocate Cliven Bundy’s ranch in Nevada.

Gerald “Jerry” DeLemus and Blaine Cooper each admitted to conspiring with others who engaged in a tense gunpoint standoff with federal Bureau of Land Management agents in April 2014 near Bundy’s property about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

Both told U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro they weren’t physically present for the standoff.

But they acknowledged interfering with the execution of federal court orders by recruiting and organizing armed gunmen to support Bundy and sons Ammon, Ryan, Mel and Dave Bundy in efforts to prevent the roundup of Bundy cattle from the scenic Gold Butte area.

I'll bet he whimpered like a little puppy when it was time to stand before the judge.

See you in six, screwball.

Actually, and alternate, with his wife being a delegate. He was also at the #BundyTeaParty in Oregon while he was head of Trump's state campaign in NH.

His charges were from the Bundyville standoff in Arizona.

Ed.: I know YOU know that, my friend.

defeat the US Government. Didn't work so well at Ruby Ridge or Waco or Texas Republic and now at the Bundy Ranch and soon to the Wildlife Refuge.

These poor delusional fools playing in the woods with guns and camo think they can take on the Marine First Expeditionary Force? Really? The Pentagon has one thing they don't have, C&C. Command and Control. Without that even the Marines are just a bunch of losers running around in the woods. These poor delusional bastards can't even turn on a cell phone without inviting a HARM missile launched from a long way away.
