I hate being *that guy* but

quote:

Violence is defined by the World Health Organization as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation"

Because if you just define violence as "physical harm" it leaves out a ton of other really harmful psychological and economic poo poo and lets people get away with things like domestic abuse.

There are plenty of court cases that end in outcomes I don’t like but where I still think the jury made the right call—many drug cases, for example.

This jury made a mistake. The prosecution also made mistakes.

The defense did a good job. I have no complaints there.

I don't think hundreds of objections counts as a "good job" even if the outcome was in their favor.

If you don’t get disbarred (or officially censured) or held in contempt, it’s a valid tactic.

Baloogan, I like you but pointing a loaded gun at someone isn't nonviolent, it's in fact called brandishing and is a crime.

In Oregon it falls under the menacing charge and is a misdemeanor.

Anyway. Is it over?

The charges were weird because those are the charges federal prosecutors had access to. So no one was actually charged with vandalism, not even for acts of vandalism that were clearly caught on tape. Are those acts covered by double jeopardy, or is it still possible to charge people for the various crimes and misdemeanors that may have been committed?


What about fines or civil remedies? Even if they were 'just camping' and not preventing anyone from going to work, when you trash a campground you get a bill for damages. A peaceful occupation doesn't excuse trashing the place.

in Oregon, yes. they may get some civil suits and bleed them monetarily but other then that its over. the bundys and some of their lovely friends are still faceing charges(apperently even more serious ones) in Nevada for the bullshit bundy ranch.

I believe Oregon can bring state charges, and there are still the federal charges in Nevada from the 2014 standoff.

There was concern after the recent not-guilty verdict that maybe the federal govt's case wasn't that strong and bringing further charges would be useless. Since the jury started speaking to the media they've made it clear they voted not guilty based on some misguided idea they were making a "statement" about the federal govt's failure to substantiate the conspiracy charge. They revealed they didn't understand the evidence for the conspiracy charge, and that they voted not guilty on the other non-conspiracy charges as some sort of protest ie nullification. This might actually be encouraging for the prosecutor's, they just need to figure out how to select a jury and spoon-feed the evidence such that even the average juror understands when the defendants are incredibly guilty.

Jesus never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.

Pointing a loaded gun at someone is an implicit statement that you are willing to kill them and you have the means to do so.

This is not complicated.
