In my best Homer Simpson impression: when will you people learn trial by jury simply doesn’t work!

Man, good thing the feds have them months to build up all those charges so that they were guaranteed to get put away for a long, long time.

Further evidence that eleventy-dimensional chess is just a sop for people who can’t believe that their favorite leader has blown it.

So African-American patriots aggrieved about the criminal justice system are presumably now free to head over to Oregon and occupy a federal courthouse for several weeks while armed to the teeth with AR-47s and that will be legal too, right?

There’s one law for armed white people seizing our federal land, and another law for unarmed black people walking down their street. It makes me sick.

So it is now open season on federal buildings throughout the US. Occupy them, trash them, threaten to slaughter LEOs, and it’s all legal as long as you’re a white christian republican.

How on earth could they be innocent of possession of firearms at a federal facility? It’s on video.

Imagine how the Native Americans at Standing Rock feel. If they loaded up on weapons and occupied a government building how long would they last?

Correct, this was jury nullification. The charges were blatantly true and easily (I assume, I wasn’t in the courtroom) proven. There were certainly tons of videotape evidence. Not even a conviction for the firearms charge? Are you kidding me?

I had a bad feeling about this when one of the jurors had another one kicked off because he worked for Fish & Wildlife (IIRC - ?) 20 years ago and was clearly not a fan of the Bundy boys. I suspected that said something about the other jurors. Sheesh.

Now what, open season on national parks & wildlife refuges? Great.

“Some of the defendants also were charged with possession of firearms at a federal facility and were acquitted on that count as well.” What??

I’m a Trump voter, and a patriot, and this gives me hope that we can seize any government assets we want on Nov. 9th! Yippee!!

Pretty sure the cowboy hat is vital to that plan. Don’t forget that when packing for your road trip.

Oh well, the Bundy crew gets another win against the federal government. I’m sure now the dipshits will stop calling Obama a dictator, since he was considerate enough to treat them with kid gloves.
