Say goodbye to politics: As if to put an exclamation point on a night in which so many fringe types with no agendas and only nastiness lost, two women who scarred the Nevada political landscape are departing. Even though two national publications saw fit to profile her in the waning days, Assemblywoman Michele Fiore’s short, sad political career ended as she ran third in a southern congressional primary. She will never win another office in Nevada; a reality show seems a better bet. Or perhaps, a medical program showing how cancer is a fungus or a program teaching 5-year-olds to fire rifles.

An additional bright spot is that this looks to be all Nevada elected officials, where the voters who declined to reelect them is hopefully indicative of the jury pool for the upcoming Nevada stage of the Bundy trials.

the land was there--undisturbed for millions of years and doing just fine--without people with dumb khaki hats and weaponized flashlights telling you where you can and where you cannot smoke weed

even if it's legal in the state you are in

can't inhale the smoke from this plant-based matter while surrounded by trees in the middle of nowhere because it's "federal property"

the land shouldn't be "private" either, it should just be land, man

If people would stop shooting at other people over morels, their methlab/grow-op, and their illegal mining/dredging/salvage operation your argument would be significantly more palatable. Somebody has to manage the land, and the people who try to do it in the absence of government have a long storied history of loving up.

The alternative to being manaved by the fed, state, or a recognized private actor is anarchy, and we know exactly how that ends and it doesnt end well.

I mean, do you even remember what kicked off both these events? In one case the land was being overgrazed by these assholes, and in the second they actually burned it down WHILE PEOPLE WERE IN IT.

You are arguing that the destruction and settling of the land is acceptable so long as you get to smoke pot, which seems... shortsighted at best

that makes me happy. :unsmith: But it really doesnt surprise me. The town and surrounding probably overall hates the bundys and co even if they initially agreed with them. now they just saw them gently caress up national park and walk free because of their dumb gently caress neighbors. the jackoffs in political office who jerked off to them were the only targets left.

Most of the time, the media treats prosecutors as unbiased experts, so it seems turn about is fair play.

I'm mostly being a smart rear end, but the media does that all the time with prosecutors, it is interesting to see it from another perspective.
That said, nothing about that article is shocking. After the first loss, they'd certainly be reexamining whether they want to try the others. That doesn't mean they won't, but a reality check is exactly what you want to do here. This process will lead to at minimum a change in strategy to a dismissal. It would be completely unshocking for them to dismiss against a few weaker defendants, as the weaker cases may hurt their stronger cases because they can de-legitimatize the state's position.
