Oh well the judge ruled on it, I guess that precludes criticism of the judge's ruling.

Nobody here has any information the judge and attorneys don't. Close the thread down. Once a judge rules on something there is literally zero remaining legitimate discussion to be had. We should probably close down all law reviews as well, given the amount of time they spend criticizing opinions judges have already issued.

Yeah how is this person who already traveled hundreds of miles to commit armed insurrection against the government and declare no laws apply to her going to skip out on court or commit further acts against federal public land managers. It's not like she's a folk hero among the sovcit / land rights crowd or anything. We can definitely assume she won't be in contact with that crowd. It's not like she's going back to Idaho where she is surrounded by federal lands or anything.

Yeah how would sandy Anderson, who is actually just a lost and confused five year old, do any of that?

no you smarmy little poo poo, i mean how is she actually going to do all that? where is she going to hide? given that you think she's going to "reoffend", what place do you think she will occupy next, with who's help? do you think she's just going to pick up a revolver, sit her rear end down on a federally owned stretch of tundra and hope someone sets up a loving website or what exactly is going on in your head when you pee yourself in terror at night

Yeah these charges are obviously no different than shoplifting from a seven eleven, that's a really good point.

The vast majority of people charged with crimes should be given some condition of release. These are not the vast majority of people charged with crimes. These are extraordinary crimes that have higher risks associated with them.

I get that you're having fun playing contrarian, it's a good internet schtick, but you've participated in this thread long enough to have seen a torrent of examples of these people, Sandy Anderson included, explicitly saying the law doesn't apply to them.

If she had come out and surrendered when informed there was a warrant for her arrest this would be a different conversation. The mere fact of being charged with a crime is not what shows she has no respect for the law, her conduct when confronted with legal process in addition to her explicit rationale is.

Not complying with police when they arrest you means no bail? That should go well for every protester ever.

I'm not being contrarian, you're spouting some detestable freep level authoritarian bullshit that would get dogpiled in an instant on this forum if it was anyone other then a bunch of conservative rednecks that people want to see get theirs.

Pretrial confinement is an absolutely last resort option that lends massive economic coercion to the criminal justice system. Lets try this again here: innocent until proven guilty

The trial hasn't actually happened yet though? And she is yet to be found guilty of a crime?

She will be, we all know that. But in the mean time, I happen to agree with letting her go back to work on the condition that she behaves herself and shows up to court. Is that so controversial?

Yeah if I don't have the specific latitude and longitude of sandy Andersons next offense she must obviously pose zero risk.

Here, let me spell it out for you:

-she already did it once, showing she is willing

-she already defied dozens of lawful orders from the FBI, showing she has no respect for what the law tells her to do

-she is viewed as a hero by the PPN / three percenters / sov cit crowd

-that crowd is itching for further confrontation

-those organizations are dispersed throughout the American west

-those organizations have really fancy things like "email accounts" "cell phones" and "cars"

-things like "email accounts" "cell phones" and "cars" make it very easy to get in touch with Anderson and take her somewhere

-we all saw how detached from reality Anderson was through the later stages of the standoff. She grasped at any tiny straw that allowed her to rationalize away her impending arrest.

-there is no reason to believe she won't similarly rationalize away her impending trial and find some hole to hide in

Do you need me to draw you a picture? Or would that be too smarmy?

I'm gonna guess she appeared sufficiently pathetic and remorseful in the court room that the judge figured she was just crazy and was going along with it out of peer pressure, and in the chance that wasn't true they still have her husband, decreasing the likelihood of her trying anything.

I don't think that's controversial, if Cliven Bundy was going to turn up to court, he should be let out until his trial, the point in dispute is whether or not Sandy will turn up.

The judge obviously thinks she will, and I don't think it's all that unlikely, but it's not an obvious, open-and-shut question. I think it's entirely reasonable to discuss whether she should have been granted bail.

e: I think if a black guy with a joint was holed up pointing a gun at the FBI for a month talking about how he'd rather die than surrender, then people might question the decision to grant him bail, too.

Yeah, I see what you mean. My earlier post about not-having-additional-info was weaksauce, so that's my bad.

I do believe that the likelihood of her getting more sovcits on her side to any meaningful effect is extremely low, considering that they didn't bother to show to the crime in question in the first place.

She hasn't done it before, she has no criminal history, he's arguing that she should be denied bail on the basis of crimes she hasn't been convicted of yet.

The "they violently resisted the feds" bit loses a lot of bite when push comes to shove she ended up surrendering without actually doing that.

Let's look at the law.

18 USC 16

The term “crime of violence” means—
(a) an offense that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or prop­erty of another, or
(b) any other offense that is a felony and that, by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense.

You can claim they did not violently resist the government all you want. The law says otherwise.

Yes, threatening violence is a crime of violence you obtuse gently caress. We let people out on bail accused of poo poo like rape and aggravated assault, threatening violence that is never followed through with does not in anyway indicate someone is a danger to the community worthy of denying bail.

I would be a lot more critical of the judge if he was letting more than just her out on bail. As it stands I don't find much objectionable about it.

Given how the FBI has handled it in the past they are definitely going to be watching her and given how stupid these people are she will probably be broadcasting most of her movements to social media already.

Not "criminal record," "criminal history." He had the 2014 issue as his history, and even though unresolved, and therefor "innocent" the court can still consider, not for punishment, but for admin considerations like bail (or ability to pay bail, or roots in the community).

That's not a real answer to the question.

I was a cook in the national guard for 10 years and our mobile kitchen was pulled by a big rear end truck with a 50cal m2 mount out the cab top. So that landed us cooks the job of shooting the 50 Cal during our two week camps. They would just pour 10w 40 car oil in the thing and start shooting. When the range day was over they would stick the various crews who shot on gun cleaning duty. Combine that with not a whole lot to do and they made sure these things were spotless. 4 guys and a couple hours. We said gently caress that and made our way into the kitchen. They were basically unused at this point during our two weeks. But they had enough to setup and turn on the dish washer. We sent the 50 Cal through a couple times and dropped it off. The first Sargent was relishing the thought of white gloving this thing since it took all of 20 minutes. You could see his the delight in his eyes as he pulled out a bunch qtips. This quickly changed when he could find nothing on the gun. He was very confused at how we got it that clean that quickly, and was even more so by why it was so warm.

I can't think of a person more likely to flee while on bail than a sovcit crazy person who knows the government's going to try to put her away for a decade+ and who has huge support from that movement, who have shown they're totally cool with aiding and abetting people they view as their own when the government's after them
