Let's take a look at how Idaho reacted to Mr. Bundy's weekend arrest.
Sandlin:
Why 50 million?
Chris:
I think he needs to shut the hell up or go back home. Guy thinks he is bigger than he is....don't break the law and won't be any issues.
Larry:
Yup, throw away the key
Anvar:
No. At least seven officers (according to the posted cell phone video) showed up to arrest Mr. Bundy for failure to appear in CIVIL COURT, AFTER he was already sentenced to pay $52.5 million. What was the purpose of his arrest?
Steven:
Set up, scam by corrupt judicial system
Elaine:
He slandered good people for doing their jobs and then swindled money from the public.
Terry:
He needs to go bye bye. I understand standing up to our government for their misdeeds, but he continues to try and make problems where there are none.
Howard:
He tried that in a small town
Jason:
Being arrested on a civil matter is unheard of in Idaho this is totally political and a attempt to silence him.
