Some snips from a longer piece about what's at stake as the opening arguments begin this morning in Las Vegas at the third Bunkerville Standoff trial of key figures in the April 12, 2014 standoff near Bundy Ranch.

I’m betting the Bundy’s get found guilty.

This is a kangaroo court.

It’s a symptom of law enforcement around the United States. That is: Prosecutors , law enforcement , and judges with no common sense. All they see is $, regardless of your age, race, sex, and the only way to beat the system is to have money.

Thieves in jail... Convicted or not, at least they are in jail. No heros here.

Perhaps a slight hope for jury nullification?

Thanks for the update.

“...you claim over 89 percent of our land...”

I’m generally in agreement with the Bundy’s, but there are some misconceptions about the government owning that land.

When the great Western states joined the Union they had to account for ownership of the land. After everyone had what they wanted, the feds assumed management of the rest. There have been a couple of agencies created to manage the land; now it’s the BLM.

The feds never “took” the land.

Today I would agree that the BLM land should be turned over to the state/local governments as much as possible. It’s absurd to believe that absentee landlords would take better care of the land than local residents.

It is my understanding if I remember correctly that Bundy father or grandfather homesteaded the main ranch and had grazing rights for over 1000 acres of government land by the 1881 mining act of congress. This land was open to Bundy grazing until the area became populated which it hasn't been. The story goes that dirty Harry Reid wanted 94 acres for his son to set up a chinese solar site and the cows were in the way which caused the government invasion of the rights of Bundy and the killing/destruction of Bundy property.

Go Ryan Bundy !!! Hope the jury are straight-thinkers.

First thing defense attorney should do is move for terminating sanctions due to the deceit of prosecutor hiding the fact of the camera when directly requested in discovery. The fact that the prosecution lied leaves everything else from the prosecution suspect. The defense attorney should leave it matter with “so what else has the prosecution lied about?”.
