They'd be out before all of the appeals are even finished. I thought they were going to make more of a example out of these fuckers.

The Feds know they can easily nail Cliven, and probably all his idiot sons, hard enough to keep them in prison for decades and it'd be nice if they actually did just that considering the whole "armed standoff against law enforcement and openly encouraged violence against the BLM and its employees" thing.

This is going to be good. Though if she succeeds gently caress everything forever.

There is zero chance of her winning. Even if she manages to get some crazy rear end in a top hat right winger judge to rule in her favor (or even hear her case) it'll be struck down immediately on appeal. A leader of an armed occupation got out of a vehicle after trying to run a roadblock and kept going for a gun in his pocket while being told to put his hands in the air. There's no way the courts aren't going to side with law enforcement on this.

That judge needs to learn what the gently caress media actually are. Harassing people who don't support the cause you're there to cover/support goes beyond 1A and media protection. Even the paparazzi don't get threatening with celebs (i think?) like this rear end in a top hat did to locals.

Though he's probably still completely up poo poo creek for Nevada so it's not like they can't just double down on wanting the harshest punishment possible for him there instead.

People don't seem to get that while nullification is technically "a thing" it also means you're telling the jury "if you personally don't like the law you should ignore it" which while having some potential for good it's ultimately a really bad thing in society for people to be able to just walk after committing crimes because they got lucky and their jury was a bunch of idealists.

I mean, jesus gently caress, what were these idiot jurors thinking

"We protect our own, gently caress the gubmint VOTE TRUMP" is my guess.

I hope the jurors suffer for their decision but they won't. Even if it comes out that some went in to the case determined to let everyone walk nothing will happen. I unironically believe these people should have to justify their decision and face prison time if they even hint at jury nullification. They've just empowered a group that largely overlaps with Trump's reinvigorated white power rear end in a top hat supporters and if we don't seem more ranch/wifelife standoff poo poo and more violence towards BLM employees I'll be loving stunned.

I'm still more on board with just using the 90s playbook of "militia issue? Kill every last one of them" since at this point I'm not going to be the least bit surprised if they all walk for the loving ranch standoff too.

Any judge stupid enough to let one of the Bundys out of custody needs to be removed from the bench for incompetence.

to be fair in the US we also have life without parole so that's a bit more extreme

but yeah, a lot of life sentences are actually "x number of years with review for early release" which is more or less the same thing

Life sentences in the US have no obligation to consider parole at specific timeframes like Norway's system IIRC.

Norway's system is "the max time is up, do we think this person's actually ok to release?"
The US's system is "this person will be in here until they die unless we're given a good reason to consider and grant parole."

...unless it's life without parole, in which case you are going to die in jail unless you get a pardon or some new evidence overturns your conviction.

Being a prisoner in Norway or Sweden is probably better than living in destitute poverty in the US and it's unquestionably better than the slave labor torture camps the private prison industry runs in the US.
