Ammon Bundy on Oregon Occupation: 'We Want the Government to Abide By the Constitution' (VIDEO)

Ammon Bundy won't rule out violence if authorities attempt to remove the militiamen from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Rachel Alexander has a post on the occupation at the Stream, "Obama’s DOJ Demands More Prison Time for Ranchers; Protesters Seize Wildlife Refuge Headquarters":

Ammon Bundy, son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, said that he, two of his brothers and scores of other protesters were occupying the headquarters. The Oregonian reports:

In phone interviews from inside the occupied building Saturday night, Ammon Bundy and his brother, Ryan Bundy, said they are not looking to hurt anyone. But they would not rule out violence if police tried to remove them, they said.

“The facility has been the tool to do all the tyranny that has been placed upon the Hammonds,” Ammon Bundy said. The Oregonian story also includes an Ammon Bundy Facebook video asking others to come help him. There he says that “this is not a time to stand down. It’s a time to stand up and come to Harney County.” Beneath the video, the AP reports, is this statement: “ALL PATRIOTS IT’S TIME TO STAND UP NOT STAND DOWN!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! COME PREPARED.”

Bundy's also interviewed at CNN. He doesn't mention the use of force to defend the occupation, but he calls the federal government's land policies an illegitimate tyranny over the people.
