...he probably shouldn't have got in a shootout with the Oregon State Trooper who pulled him over after the FBI shooting and he probably shouldn't have had the murdered FBI agents handgun under his seat front seat with his prints on it. Both those actions cast serious doubt on any claims to innocence.

Either way he is not a "political prisoner".
