A strange turn, sounds like they want it off the news and under the rug. The idiots paid a blood price for their foolishness. They didn't expect that and might think twice before risking their mortal asses again.

Interesting precedent for any future charges arising out of political protest.

...the defense sought to make its case about a political protest — one about protesting the federal government’s ownership and management of public lands.

“The people have to insist that the government is not our master; they are our servants,” Ryan Bundy said during his closing statement to the jury.

I must say the defense did a good job getting the jury they wanted.

I really don't understand how the prosecution blew that case.
