“Safe conduct” does not mean “immunity from prosecution.”

They did seem to want to be ‘pardoned’ as the media reported implying to me they did not want to be charged if they left refuge. I’m sorry I didn’t write it that way.

Safe conduct is the situation in time of international conflict or war where one state, a party to such conflict, issues to a person, usually an enemy state's subject, a pass or document to allow the enemy alien to traverse its territory without harassment, bodily harm, or fear of death.

Roadblocks, multiple gunshots, and then bleeding to death. I'd say the FBI violated the promise of safe conduct, with a very high level of harassment and bodily harm, followed by a painful death. My level of trust for anyone who willingly does Obama's work is exactly what followers of any petty tyrant deserve. The outcome in Oregon shows that an absence of trust is fully justified.
