The Bundy's just got acquitted for the occupation of the Malheur refuge. The insurrectionists actually videoed themselves in the commission of several crimes, but they got charged with conspiracy, which the gov attorneys failed to prove. You ought to see the message boards of land managers figuring out what to say to the employees tomorrow.
Most of the crew will now be bound over to nevada for their multitude of crimes there... but if one doesn't get convicted in Portland, getting convicted in Nevada will be a long shot at best.
The one juror who held out and would have hung the jury was excused because he once worked for the BLM. Kind of curious that it didn't come up until jury deliberations. Faith in the legal system just got taken down another rung on the ladder.
So, one can take over a government facility, trash it, do hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage, steal vehicles for trips to town, and videocast themselves doing it, and there is no consequence? WTF!
