LAS VEGAS - The federal trial against Nevada cattleman Cliven Bundy, his two sons, Ammon Bundy and Ryan Bundy, and Ryan Payne began Monday with prosecutors and defense lawyers questioning potential jurors about their beliefs on guns, protests, the government, ranching and the impact of the Oct. 1 mass shooting on the city's famous strip.
Ryan Bundy, representing himself, had his leg shackles removed and then posed his own questions from a podium before a group of nearly 50 potential jurors.
"I am a true Nevadan. I was born on Nevada Day," he said, referencing Halloween -- the day Nevada was declared a U.S. state. He'll turn 45 Tuesday. "I thank you for being here. It's been a long time coming.''

The exact same “Oregon Live” story was posted by “Spiridon” around 7am Eastern this morning with suspension of the thread a little over two hours later indicating the story should not be on “News” but on “Chat”.
The way this story gets pigeonholed or shut down is disturbing.
Yes, it is purely political.
yes, the defendants appear to have been in the right, to begin with
and
at ANY event, three prosecutions for the same event... is two too many!
this makes a farce (and a weapon) out of our “justice system”
Yes. Sessions should drop the charges. Just like that crook Holder dropped the charges against the black panthers in Philly who were pacing and threatening voters, outside the voting place, with clubs.
There is this precedent. However, the RINOs are generally spineless, as we all know, so I’m not holding my breath.

>>President trump should stop this over- done farce immediately!

One would certainly think so. Sadly, his POS AG Sessions has instead, uttered words of praise and encouragement to the PROSECUTORS.
There’s a long pattern here including last week’s attempts to post a video from Lisa Bundy (Ammon’s wife). The video is on the “JGrady” account on You Tube.
She talked about how the Bundy men were forced by the US Marshals to face the wall with their noses up against it.
They were using their bodies arms, hands, feet against the chained men claiming they weren’t fast enough. Cliven, Ammon and Ryan Bundy were bruised by it all.
She noted that just like in “Hitler times” these law enforcement people cannot use the excuse of just taking orders about what they did.
Post of video was taken down twice.
that is very disappointing
The Lisa Bundy video removed twice after being posted last week on FR.
Her discussion of the abuse of the Bundy men begins at 3:07.

Have seen similar things happen to posts and videos by some of my foreign friends.
Have seen some really nutty removal of posts on Twitter and Facebook. Only the left is capable of such nonsense, but they run those platforms.
I avoid videos on this machine. Have the knobs screwed down pretty tight on Java Scripts. Still occasionally have problems.
