Ammon Bundy Arrested the Second Time in the Senate Gallery

On August 25th 2020, Ammon Bundy & Aaron Schmidt were forcefully removed from the Idaho State Capitol building and arrested by several Idaho State Police officers during a special legislative session where Governor Brad Little was seeking to pass a bill that would potentially legally alleviate him (the governor) and his associates from their destructive behavior upon the liberties of the People of Idaho during this coronavirus pandemic. Ammon Bundy was again forcefully removed from the Idaho State Capitol building and arrested on August 26th 2020 (the next day) by multiple Idaho State Police officers for quietly sitting in the Senate gallery, like many others. Each time he was forcefully removed and arrested, he was being respectful, peaceful and non-disruptive and believed that he was acting well within his rights (Constitution of the State of Idaho, Article 1, Section 3, 4, 10, 19, 21). During each incident, Ammon was met with an over- whelming saturation of prejudice coming from the commanding ISP officer and other ISP officers; although not all of the officers were belligerent towards him.

THIS litigation, including a fair and public trial, should give opportunity for the accused to show a jury ample evidence and testimonies that; 1) the accused (Ammon & Aaron) were well within their rights to be at the Idaho Capitol building both days; 2) that they were being peaceful and non-disruptive and 3) that they were targeted by Idaho Governor Brad Little, Speaker of the House Scott Bedke, Senate Pro-Tempor Brent Hill and others. Evidence will show that these Idaho State leaders (and others) conspired to remove and trespass Ammon Bundy from the capitol building because they viewed him as an opposing political leader and believed he would prove to be a deterrent to their political objectives if he was allowed to remain present at the capitol building during the special legislative session AND during the regular legislative session in 2021.
