In an acquittal that will probably make liberal heads explode:
PORTLAND, Ore. – The leaders of an armed group who seized a national wildlife refuge in rural Oregon were acquitted Thursday in the 41-day standoff that brought new attention to a long-running dispute over control of federal lands in the U.S. West.
A jury found brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy not guilty of possessing a firearm in a federal facility and conspiring to impede federal workers from their jobs at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, 300 miles southeast of Portland where the trial took place.
Sadly neither article explains how the jury came to that decision, it certainly seemed like a slam dunk against them. A real world example of 'jury nullification' maybe?
People have decided they have had enough with the corrupt government, if Hillary and company want to pay for and stage protests, than many see nothing wrong with what the farmers are doing. They ultimately have been harmed as much by the government over the last 24 years as anybody.
Good to see the jury do the right thing and give a big F you to the Oblubber administration and it's brutal, bigotted tactics. It's a start. We still have a Montana rancher in federal prison for building a pond on his property.
I hope we see as much effort on the part of the Feds to prosecute the thugs trespassing on private property, damaging equipment and holding up workers on the Dakota Access Pipeline as was put into prosecuting these ranchers.

I knew there would be a cheerleading section for these thugs.
White, disenfranchised males with a paranoid grudge against authority, the government, and laws, breaking multiple federal laws and taunting police with firearms = these guys are 'heroes' to the far right and others of their ilk.
Black, disenfranchised males with a paranoid grudge against the authority, the government, and laws, breaking multiple laws and taunting and threatening police with firearms = shoot and jail these 'animals' no questions asked how DARE they disobey rules.
Double standards and hypocrisy? All the bloody time!
And then some cry that it's only people of color that get slaps on the wrist!

I supported them both. What do you have to say about that?
