In the media’s mad rush to proclaim everything in America racist, they’ve decided racism is to blame for the acquittal of Ammon Bundy and six other defendants for taking over an empty federal facility in the middle of the Oregon wilderness. Bundy and company took over the facility to protest the arrest and imprisonment of Steven and Dwight Hammond, two Oregon ranchers who were pushed off their land by the federal government.
The prosecutors said that Bundy and his group were responsible for an “invasion.” The jurors felt differently – they believed the defense line that Bundy was engaging in peaceful protest. Bundy himself gave 10 hours of testimony, including stating that “Everything comes from the Earth and if [the government] can get control of the resources, they can get control of the people.”
