Citing a failure to provide more evidence, U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown dismissed a felony gun charge against defendant Shawna Cox Monday morning in court.

The prosecution provided evidence showing Cox’s Utah driver’s license and a gun were found in a Chevy HHR hatchback belonging to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, but they were unable to prove the gun belonged to Cox. Therefore, the charge was dismissed ...

1. Always the first charge to be dropped. Strange, given the calls for tougher gun laws.

What a bargaining chip.

2. Yea...

Lack of proof for a crime makes it kind of hard to charge one for a crime...

3. Yup! That's a good decision. nt

4. Must be nice to have the proceeding go through court

Must be nice to have the proceeding go through court rather than someone getting shot when the fist cop shows up.

5. Gunners seem happy to see Bundy Ranch Militia members get off to arm up again.

Hopefully, they'll all get convicted of other terrorist charges, to the chagrin of gunners.

6. name one DU'er who supports the Bundy fuckers

And I'll kiss a picture of Drumpf

7. Gunners like Trump's position on gunz, and are the first to defend a shooting by

police or police wannabes like Georgie Zimmerman, another Trump favorite.

8. Thats quite an imagination you have. N/T

9. I know, beevul, she's just a fine law-abiding gun owner and member of Bundy Ranch Racists.

10. You forgot the words...

"Chuck E Cheeze", "compound", "toter", and "pantz".


You're slipping.

11. Well, he lost the gun so there's that.

12. She was shown packing an AR while doing 'guard duty' with her nutball

'Militia's comin for you FBI' husband

Looks like their going to settle for her hubby and the two Bundys and let everyone else off

The Bundys are going to get time served with probation you watch

13. Actually they have a bunch of the assholes taking plea deals already-

Most all will be doing time, I think the youngest asshole is some 22 year old and the minimum he will get is 6 months house arrest. Others are looking at 6 months to years. Sentencing for some start on the 14th...

[Monk06]

14. The important thing is that all these assholes have felony convictions so that there is federal

precedent on the books for these sorts of attempts by militias of seizing control of county governments
