Near the court house, Bundy supporters were holding a BBQ to celebrate the Bundy brothers acquittal of charges. Earlier this year, Ammon Bundy led armed militants to take over a wildlife refuge for more than 6 weeks. One of the participants in the standoff, LaVoy Finicum was killed by law enforcement. Everyone involved in the stand off were acquitted on Thursday.

One of the Black Lives Matter supporters asked one of the Bundy supporters to borrow their flag. The flag owner must have thought that the Black Lives Matter group just wanted to show their patriotism, because he allowed them to borrow the flag. The Black Lives Matter group then and burned the flag. Some local news agencies report that the Bundy supporter plans on filing charges with police against the person who took their flag.

Teressa Raiford wants to be sheriff, but her supporters steal other peoples property, block public roads, and burn American flags. That doesn’t seem like a very fitting person to be in charge of a Sheriff’s Department.
