"Do we just allow these wicked men and women to trample upon our rights and to put our friends and neighbors in prison. Is that what we do? We just go home. Go back to our TV's and whatever else it is that we do, our phones,...our happy places"

"Today Trump's DOJ gave Todd Engel 14 YEARS for protesting"

"Todd is not the vile hatred-filled individual the prosecution has painted. He believed that he did what he was doing for the right reasons, and he believed that his participation was for the better good"
Todd Engel's Attorney Warren Markowitz 7/19/2018
When federal, state and local law enforcement in southern Nevada did a "threat assessment" about the Bundy family in the days leading up to the April 12, 2014 Bunkerville Standoff near Bundy Ranch, their determination was that of a low level threat of violence with Bundy's described as people who would "get in your face" with their words but not commit acts of violence.
And his reaction to the 14 year prison sentence handed down Thursday in Las Vegas to Todd Engel we got a taste of that from Ammon Bundy in his video message posted late Thursday night.
The jury that convicted Todd Engel didn't get a chance to see or hear about that threat assessment, they didn't get to see or hear about the federal government surveillance camera or snipers used around Bundy Ranch or the Bundy home in the days leading up to the April 12, 2014 Bunkerville Standoff.
Cliven Bundy communicated via media interviews the sniper threat that led Todd Engel and others to come exercising their Second Amendment rights in defense of the Bundy family.
They (the jurors) didn't get to see the videos of the BLM agent taking down Ammon Bundy with a taser, shoving a relative (Margaret Houston) and assualting in custody Mel Bundy who has shoved into stones until his face was pockmarked by them. These were aggressive federal law enforcement actions that came before April 12, 2014.
Neither did the grand jury that indicted Todd Engel and 20 plus others in connection with the Bunkerville Standoff.
Recently Ammon Bundy has been trying to reach jurors and grand jurors to let them know about the travesty they were led into by the federal "criminal justice" system.
But yet knowing all that, knowing that Todd Engel did not get a fair trial, US District Judge Gloria M. Navarro went along with the prosecutors and handed down a harsh sentence.
Ammon Bundy roundly denounced all the men and women involved as "wicked" ranging from the Democrat Judge Gloria Navarro to the Republican prosecutors Steven Myhre (praised for his work on the case by AG Jeff Sessions during a Las Vegas visit in July of last year) and Daniel Schiess. Both men and the third prosecutor (Nadia Ahmed) operating under the authority of AG Sessions and his appointed US Attorney for Nevada, Dayle Elieson.
Attorney Warren Markowitz argued for Judge Navarro to throw out the charges and grant Engel a new trial to no avail.
Markowitz will appeal the sentence.

(EDITED THROUGH SUNDAY JULY 22nd AM)
Yes, that’s where all appeals go including the prosecutors trying to reinstate charges against the Bundys or the appeals of those convicted in the rigged process like Todd Engel.
Who can battle against the beast? Brave men and women of USA try, they stand their ground and the beast swipes at them, knocking dozens on the ground.
Meanwhile, back in the illusion. Average, indoctrinated servants of the beast, work, play, and are blissfully ignorant that the beast is planning to come their way. To master of them all.
