Portland's Voodoo Doughnut made a one-of-a-kind Ammon Bundy dessert

To commemorate the arrest of Oregon occupation leader Ammon Bundy, Portland's famous Voodoo Doughnut has created a one-off fried delicacy, featuring his visage behind bars.
Voodoo Doughnut co-owner Kenneth "Cat Daddy" Pogson told The Oregonian the shop tries to avoid politics, "but this whole thing seemed like such a big deal — with them taking public property, armed to the teeth, making a stand that they thought everyone would join. It was a debacle that was on everyone's mind, left or right." Once he heard Bundy had been arrested, he told his donut artist: "I want a face behind bars and the words 'Welcome to Portland.'"
Pogson said he was sensitive to the fact that occupier Robert "LaVoy" Finicum was shot and killed during the traffic stop that led to Bundy's arrest. "The death was senseless," he told The Oregonian. "I didn't want it to come off like I was ridiculing [Finicum]. He died for what he believed in. I don't believe in it. But I wanted to send this message. [Bundy] is no longer among his people. Now he's on the left coast."
