It's always a bummer to find out the world isn't the way you've been pretending it is. This phase of life usually ends in middle school on the outside.

At the end of the day’s session, U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown suggested to the defense that they bring a more streamlined case to the jury when they return Tuesday, following the Columbus Day holiday.

“You’re going to lose them,” Brown said of the jury to the defense. “What we did with Mr. Bundy took too long.”

The case is in the hands of the jury now. Hope it is not rigged.

This would be great because have you ever tried to find a decent meal in Challis? Pretty tough.

Go to Antonio's. Pretty good pizza and the entire staff are some of the friendliest folks I've met.

Although, I don't see how Idaho could step and help the feds w/out significant >15% funding.

And...I frikkin hate it if it involves any 'upscaling'. I've always thought the best places out there had the crappiest food...b/c out there ain't about the food.

Wyoming passed a resolution in 2015 to study the economic impacts of a Fed to State land transfer of management (ownership isn't possible, so wasn't studied, duh).

After ~$100k spent, the results are in. Just what any rational person would expect, a very expensive proposition for the state.

Hiker warns others after dangerous incident at Lake Thunderbird State Park

Oklahoma families should be aware that unlicensed, untrained, non-uniformed renters are allowed to police state parks in that way.

The "12 tribes" group mentioned in that incident are a bunch of criminals using religion as a way of ignoring US laws. Beyond time for these wacky religious freaks to go to prison for their absurd behavior. Their treatment of children is pretty much the definition of child abuse. But since it's their "religious" beliefs they get away with it.

Jury is still deliberating. They have reached a verdict on three defendants, which I am sure includes a couple of Bundy's

The jury has questions for the judge

The 12 tribes is also a peaceful group that lives communally around the country. They run restaurants under the name The Yellow Deli in several cities. They do not seem to be a hate group at all.

Jury member 11 was dismissed and replaced with alternate number 18 after insistence from the defense and acceptance from the prosecution.

The jury was given instructions to begin deliberations anew.

There is a good probability that the dismissed juror was sympathetic to the Bundy's cause. Will not know until the panel talks after a decision.

Acquitted for the Oregon standoff.

"the Bundys are expected to stand trial in Nevada early next year on charges stemming from another high-profile standoff with federal agents. "

HaHaHa! Flipping gubmint can't get anything right. They spent their time

WTF? If you can broadcast it over the Internets and still not get convicted, what does it take?

Guilty as sin, free as a bird.

I wonder what the jury saw that everybody on here missed.

Well it is only fair,

They never "intended" to do those things.

Interesting article, but at least I found out why one juror was replaced.
It will be interesting to hear what the jurors might have to say about their verdict.

At a time when the fringe-right is on the rise with trump threatening anti-government violence I can't imagine a worse possible outcome. This will do nothing but incite more of the same. Hopefully a Nevada jury will find them guilty.

Local sympathy for them probably helped. Guys that copped plea are pissed. The Indians are pissed. If they tried a stunt like that they would not be allowed to come and go at their leisure. Ironically they arrested people today on the pipeline for the same behavior.

Makes Lavoy "tarpman" Finicum look even dumber, if that is possible.
