Ammon Bundy Convicted in Trespassing Trial

Source: AP

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Anti-government activist and agitator Ammon Bundy has been found guilty of misdemeanor trespassing and misdemeanor resisting or obstructing officers.

Bundy was found guilty Thursday evening after a four-day jury trial and brief jury deliberations, the Idaho Statesman reported.

Bundy was sentenced to three days in jail. But with credit for time served, he will serve no additional jail time. Magistrate Judge David Manweiler also imposed 48 hours of community service and a $750 fine for Bundy.

A co-defendant, Aaron Von Schmidt, was found guilty of misdemeanor trespassing. He was sentenced to three days in jail as well, but also got credit for time served, and a $500 fine.

An interesting tidbit,

"Bundy filed documents to run for Idaho governor in May, though he acknowledged during the trial that he isn't registered to vote in the state. Bundy moved to Idaho several years ago."

It's hot in Idaho and Bundy may be assigned to the highway crew picking up litter.

Four days of spotlight to raise sympathy in the anti-government community. Probably well worth it as a fund raiser. What does this guy do for a living anyway?

...not registered to vote...

seem to be the 'in thing' these days for a loser called TFG to racist pig chumps like this one. America got ruined letting these hateful people loose in general society. Still have restraints, yet these types want white supremacy back and are getting bolder with every day they are allowed to spew their lying vomit over the airwaves and with every action that kills innocent unarmed Americans. You are goddamn right. Angry and tired of this shit.

And on top of this. For the next 3-5 days in my neighbourhood, I have to listen to all these goddamn explosions that will start reminding me of the bits and pieces war creates of human beings. I am so sorry for what I did to the veterans of WW2 and Korea in my day of observing a holiday NEVER meant for POC. Don't believe me? Just ask Frederick Douglass.

SHIT!!! My dog...he's a mess also.

Cliven Buddy is a welfare queen. He/she just doesn't want to acknowledge it. A true poster child for Saturnism.

Who will probably be elected is Janice McGeachin, our light governor, who is (1) just as insane as Ammon Bundy, if not more so and (2) already a Republican.
