Rancher Ammon Bundy withdraws request for release

Ammon Bundy, the rancher who led an armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, abruptly reversed course Tuesday and withdrew a request to be released from custody as he awaits trial on a felony conspiracy charge, court papers showed.

Bundy had initially been scheduled Tuesday to ask a federal judge in Oregon to release him on electronic GPS surveillance, his attorney Mike Arnold said.

But now Bundy will resubmit that request at a later time, his attorneys said in court papers. He will stay incarcerated "to gather further evidence of his statements and actions encouraging a peaceful protest and civil disobedience," court documents said.

Bundy eventually plans to challenge U.S. Magistrate Judge Stacie Beckerman's order to keep him in custody pending the trial, according to court documents.

They won’t. Oregon is likely to draft murder charges against Bundy and the others who were in the SUV.

It appears Bundy will be occupying a Federal Facility for quite some time.

Sadly Aamon Bundy is not smart enough to play the civil disobedience game agains’t the US govt and I’m very afraid that they are going put him away for a long time. Its a terrible thing.

IMO in civil disobedience you have to either have overwhelming numbers or do hit and run. Bundy IMO should have declared victory and pulled his people out before the FBI could organize. Then he could have continued peaceful protests and kept the story in the media. He didn’t and now he’s screwed.

And lots of Freepers will cheer the government’s rounding up of dissenters.

Mark McConnell was driving his brown 4-door Jeep (SUV) with Ammon Bundy in the rear.

So Mark CcConnell will also be charged with murder?

A friend was going down to Burns to video some of the goings on. Folks might be interested in this interview he did with one of the participants...
