Bird-watching sanctuary hijacker and inadequate snack-planner Ammon Bundy took to Twitter to try to convince the masses that his cause is a noble and just one yesterday:
We are doing the same thing as Rosa Parks did. We are standing up against bad laws which dehumanize us and destroy our freedom.

Not surprisingly, Twitter did not agree:
Nice try. Rosa Parks didn't hijack a bus with an assault rifle because she didn't want to pay the bus fare. @Ammon_Bundy

@Ammon_Bundy Rosa Parks was armed with courage. And when she was arrested, she complied with law enforcement. You sir, are NO Rosa Parks.

@Ammon_Bundy What kind of gun did Rosa Parks use when she stood up by sitting down?

@Ammon_Bundy Never in my life have I meant this more: You. Have got. To be. SHITTING. Me.
