I'm interested to see how that plays out, because where does your first amendment rights to journalism end, and being found guilty of inciting violence against police and civilians begin?

If you're leading an armed insurrection but holding a camera your "lol I'm just a journalist" defense seems flimsy as gently caress.

That's why I said "legitimate journalist" which I guess is what the court case will have to decide? I don't know, I assume this has come up in the past and there is some kind of legal definition of what is considered a journalists?

I will be interested to see how this ends up, it's been fascinating from the start.

The only thing that can make this worse is if the Bundys haven't learned some humility and sense and try to be their own lawyers. That said, we haven't even gotten to the fines yet for the destruction of the wildlife refuge, which will probably wipe out any finances or land they might have. These idiots have literally destroyed their own lives and their families as well.

Bundy's been subject to tons of fines forever, and his primary income is based on selling non-FDA-compliant beef raised illegally on government land. The other day I asked how come they haven't frozen all his accounts ages ago, and the only answer I can concoct is that he's operating completely on cash transactions, and the cash is in safes surrounded by guards. (A recent court document confirms he sells his nasty beef straight out of freezers on his ranch. And what Bundy beef customer would want a paper trail anyhow?)

So, I assume the only reason he has had property at any time in the last 10 years is because he's guarding it with armed force. The question then is whether that'll persist when he's in jail. What if the various militia camps on his land decide to stay put? Driving them out sounds orders of magnitude more dangerous than retaking the MNWR, and it would appear to be the feds initiating the conflict. Might they even continue harassing local BLM workers in the name of whatever symbolic value Burns Park has to the movement? A scary business.

Yes, they are. I think the ACLU is defending Pete for his activity in Burns. The indictment handed down yesterday is for the 2014 standoff.

Journalists who commit crimes in order to do their job can be arrested and tried just like anyone else. In order for them to be protected by freedom of the press they have to prove that their story served the public good in a way that justifies their crimes.

He's not guarding it with armed force now. Not to mention that if it came down to it, the government could just wait out the armed force as well. Not like they're going to get anywhere with Bundy on trial. In theory, they could subpoena everybody on the ranch to testify and then arrest them as soon as they're away from the land. It's not like these sovcits are that smart.

Santilli's rear end belongs to the Feds, from the Indictment:

USA v. Bundys, Payne, and Santilli posted:

SANTILLI was a leader and organizer of the conspiracy who, among other things: recruited Followers using the internet and other facilities in interstate commerce; led an assault on federal officers; threatened federal law enforcement officers; and participated in the extortion of federal law enforcement officers.

SANTILLI used threats to encourage and incite listeners to travel to Bundy Ranch for unlawful purposes, telling listeners, among other things, that: "if this is not the issue right now where we stand and fight to the absolute death there is no other option; the federal government must get out of the State of Nevada . . . if they don't want to be peaceful it is by their choice. . . I'm calling on all Americans anywhere in the vicinity of Clark County, Nevada . . . if you're in Nevada and can legally carry, get weapons out there, o.k. . . . we are going to stand and fight in Clark County, Nevada . . . they will leave or else."

On April 9, 2014 SANTILLI and A. BUNDY assaulted federal officers by, among other things: intercepting and blocking a convoy of BLM vehicles engaged in impoundment operations; colliding an ATV into a truck in the convoy in an attempt to stall the truck; attempting to forcibly gain entrance to the stalled truck; attempting to throw a rock at law enforcement officers protecting the convoy; threatening physical harm to law enforcement officers while they were protecting the truck and civilian passengers inside; and causing physical contact with an officer while the officer was engaged in protecting the truck and the civilian passengers inside.

Holy poo poo.

The stuff about his cows being all kids of messed up is interesting. There's a PBS Nature episode titled Holy Cow about humanity's relationship with cows. Its thesis is that cows are really the only animal that made sense for domestication by early humans, largely because they're curious and docile, along with a bunch of other factors. So is Cliven such a fuckup that he wrecked the peaceful nature of an animal we've been codependent with for thousands of years?

I hope everyone caught the note at the top. Paraphrased from memory, "The Court has directed this document be filed for the record, but otherwise we're just ignoring it. Please talk to your lawyer about how to correctly present whichever parts of this are actually supposed to be legal defenses."

The sad thing is, I found Cox's notice bizarrely coherent for a sovcit. There are entire sentences and maybe paragraphs that I could be fooled into thinking were written by an actual lawyer. And it was better received than for instance this Canadian classic:

Meads v Meads posted:

[26]           Mr. Meads stated that his birth certificate has an associated bond with large amounts of money that could easily discharge in full the claims advanced by Ms. Meads. He said this Court could order that payment. He then attempted to provide me with an envelope, presumably containing documents. Mr. Meads said the contents of the envelope had been “filed internationally”: a UCC filing, a Canadian filing, a commercial security agreement, an identity bond, “actual and constructive notices”, hold harmless and identity agreements, non-negotiable security agreements, an affidavit of his status, a copyright and trade-mark of his name contract, and definitions of the words used in those documents. “UCC” means the “Uniform Commercial Code”, which is U.S. commercial legislation.

[27]           I refused the envelope, and noted that if the envelope was abandoned then I would put those materials in the garbage.

I feel so bad for her lawyer, who probably spends so much time trying to explain reality, only to have to give up and just let her do whatever.

quote:

Tiffany Harris, Cox's court-appointed attorney, declined comment on the counter claim.

This is my favorite part:

quote:

In her complaint, Cox says she'll ask jurors who hear her case to bring criminal and civil charges instead against all of the Oregon State Bar members and public employees involved in the "persecution, prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective (counsel)" that resulted in the extended prison time for Burns-area ranchers Dwight Hammond Jr. and his son, Steve Hammond.

That's right, you can totally just ask your jurors to bring charges against unrelated people. Everyone knows that juries don't have to actually bring a verdict on the case they're hearing but can bring whatever verdict they want on whoever they want.
