I always thought Oregonians were stupid.

I always knew they think they are sticking it to the man just by living there.

I really hate that state. I bet they wouldn't convict them based on it being a federal case full stop. Oregonians are really stupid and think they are pioneers making it on their own in the frontier even when they work at Wal-Mart.

The OJ version of this would have one of the FBI officers involved was recorded saying he joined the bureau to get a chance to reenact Waco and Ruby Ridge so he could kill rural white people.

This is far dumber than OJ.

They were not, because that is not a federal charge available on proprietary jurisdiction lands, which Malheur is. That is why they were charged with conspiracy; there are not actually a lot of substantive federal criminal charges available on proprietary jurisdiction lands.

It can be, but it has been used way too often to aquit white dudes of hosed up poo poo. I don't want to get rid of it (and not sure how you would without weakening a lot of vital double jeopardy protections), but it gets misused more than it is used properly.

You're probably right.

Really what's obnoxious is the possibility of jury nullification in criminal cases without JNOV or DV to serve as a check.

Oregon is/was literally a state founded from the get-go to be a whites-only territory:

quote:

In the summer of 1844, for example, the Legislative Committee passed a provision that said any free black people who were in the state would be subject to flogging if they didn’t leave within two years. The floggings were supposed to continue every six months until they left the territory. That provision was revised in December of 1845 to remove the flogging part. Instead, free black people who remained would be offered up “publicly for hire” to any white person who would remove them from the territory.

Reminder, this is the original Oregon constitution:

quote:


No free negro, or mulatto, not residing in this State at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall come, reside, or be within this State, or hold any real estate, or make any contracts, or maintain any suit therein; and the Legislative Assembly shall provide by penal laws, for the removal, by public officers, of all such negroes, and mulattoes, and for their effectual exclusion from the State, and for the punishment of persons who shall bring them into the state, or employ, or harbor them.



Hell, the mayor of Portland in 1921, George L. Baker, is third from the right and the police chief, L.V. Jenkins, is third from the left in that picture.
