LAS VEGAS (AP) - A federal jury in Las Vegas has refused to convict four accused gunmen in a 2014 standoff with federal authorities near the Nevada ranch of anti-government figure Cliven Bundy.
In a verdict that stunned Bundy supporters, the jury on Tuesday acquitted Ricky Lovelien and Steven Stewart of all 10 charges against them.

Our tax dollars have been blown big time and now its time for Jeff Sessions to stop spending our tax dollars and let everyone out of jail who hasn’t been tried yet.
President Trump needs to pardon those already convicted or who pled guilty like Jerry Delemus, who was co-chair of Veterans for Trump during the New Hamsphire primary last year.
That story was written to obscure and obstruct that they were found NOT guilty.
Americans can be smart!
Indeed so, and exactly my point.
Exactly so. Keep us updated, will ya’?
No one at the “Bundy standoff” ever pulled a gun on the Feds.
Go to your room and do your homework, kid.
I always blamed it on agenda 21. But yep, he was the last rancher standing. And now he will be gone too.

i want to say that I am moved to applaud the system of justice, It does not always work such as the OJ simpson racial fiasco but that was a venue mistake. Here we truly had a jury of peers that saw through this evil oppressive environmental crap and bitch slapped the feds to their knees.
Um no.
It blows my mind that nobody has gone to prison for fast and furious! If I ever bring it up with liberal friends they have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s sad that so many people who vote in this country have no idea how evil Obama was. If they don’t see it on TV , it never happened.
So you support a militarized BLM? They are not cops. Take off your jack boots friend. The agencies should not be enforcing law through force.
The states have lost all power over the government since the 17th was passed.
The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Since the 17th amendment the country has gone to hell. The federal monolith has taken right after right because the states are not represented. We are a democracy today and they fail every-time tried. Repeal the 17th and all this kind of monarchic crap stops.
Having seen how the FedGov deals with people they deem societal misfits and/or outside the norm, I don’t blame the reactions of the Bundys or the militias. It became an “us or them’ situation.
Not totally true as I remember it.
A deal had been reached by Reid & Son with the ChiComs for some sort of solar project. However, it was to be on a tract of land somewhere else in the state. On that tract resided some type of tortoise that had Federal protection. In order for the deal to go through, a like sized piece of land in the state had to be set aside for this tortoise. The "Bundy Ranch" was actually being takenover in lieu of the land alloted for the ChiCom/Reid project.
ymmv
My question is this: Why are you so insistent about leading the good folks on this forum into stating opinions that could be used against them in a court of law?
You are confusing the Malheur standoff with the Bunkerville standoff. And the Bundys were acquitted in Oregon.
