Remember all that quacking on social media and liblogs that if the militiamen were black someone would get blown away?

I guess this is sort of like Michael Brown, except white people won't try to make this guy into an innocent cherub and there might be actual evidence of wrongdoing. :nod:

There are a bunch of white people who are pissed off about this...
and saying that he was simply "executed on sight"

But I do agree... "Stupid backwoods Mormon" isn't as heartfelt and news worthy
as down trodden abused underprivileged black person

"A federal court jury delivered a surprise verdict on Thursday acquitting anti-government militant leader Ammon Bundy and six followers of conspiracy charges stemming from their role in the armed takeover of a wildlife center in Oregon earlier this year.

The outcome marked a stinging defeat for federal prosecutors and law enforcement in a trial the defendants sought to turn into a pulpit for airing their opposition to U.S. government control over millions of acres of public lands in the West.

Bundy and others, including his brother and co-defendant Ryan Bundy, cast the 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge as a patriotic act of civil disobedience. Prosecutors called it a lawless scheme to seize federal property by force."

The Jury acquitted them...
Mostly - word is - because they felt sorry for them
As in "these pathetic idiots will die in jail.."

You are probably right. Somehow even though I never gave any moral support to these guys I can't shed a single tear. :coffee:

And once again #whiteprivilege is all over twitter, yet people will forget about OJ and Lavoy Finicum.

That, and we're talking about a jury in one of the most bleeding-heart-liberal cities in America.

Once all the information was laid out
They never really hurt anybody and they never really accomplished anything
It sounds like the rag-tag nature of them and the sadness and desperation was palpable

One officer testified that indeed "they broke a bunch of laws"
but they were ultimately no real threat to anybody but themselves

No reasonable prosecutor would bring any charges against these guys, so why care what the jury did?
