Keith Ensminger: Bundy-led protest nothing short of insurrection

The Bundy family and their supporters are insurrectionists, not terrorists. The can’t get what they want through democracy, so they shoot their way into power. They seized our property and want to distribute the land to their supporters. We should be ashamed at their insurrection. These people trample every sacrifice our veterans and their families made for a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The best way to deal with this insurrection is to lay siege to the compound, cut off all utilities and block any access until they surrender.

Keith Ensminger, Merced
