That's interesting because of how unusual it is. If there were hundreds of him, the US would be like central Africa.

There are hundreds of Cliven Bundys.

The insistence on othering what clearly isn't an alien experience for our own society is annoying. It's also a bit dangerous, considering how the, "Just swoop in and merc the bastards," produced the Bundy approach; disrespect for the complexity of dealing with militias leads to tragedy.
