However this does not mean what the Bundy's did were lawful.
It means the prosecution screwed up so bad they sank their own case...
...that they most assuredly would have won...
...if not for their case of rectal-cranial inversion.

Good, these people were getting the shaft.
Nice to know a judge had some common sense and dropped the case.
Now we need to start investigating the officers and others who tried to screw the Bundy's over.

Thank you for the link! Good to see others paying attention... and remembering LaVoy Finicum. This ain't over yet.
And welcome to ATS! (I got to give you your first star )
Lavoy Finnicum's case is not anything like Bundys case.
The facts surrounding Finnicums death, along with the video footage, makes it clear law enforcement actions were justified in that encounter.
The FBI agent who was indicted for lying stems from his statement he never fired his weapon when in fact he did...
...and if I am not mistaken that lie was given to State law enforcement who was responsible for investigating that incident.
Absent any info that shows more officers / agents lying I dont see any cases being brought except against the agent who lied and even then it would have no bearing on the incident itself.

WHITE PRIVILEGE
That's really sad that's all you can see here. And I can only assume that you really don't know the situation and issues involved.
There was no "privilege" -- White or otherwise -- for the Bundys and the many many others who have been bullied and beaten by Federal agents/agencies. It's all about abuse of power. The same abuse of power used against so many people of all shapes, sizes and colors in so many ways.
I respectfully disagree, these guys pointed guns in LEO's faces, imagine an AA group or a group with an Islamic sounding name , you honestly believe it would had ended as it did..be 100% With me now, and this is regardless of whether you think they were in the right or wrong in the first place.
