Ammon Bundy to challenge authority of feds to prosecute Oregon standoff defendants

20. People on DU don't believe in basic civil rights

Yeah, sometimes an argument loses ten times before it wins, and sometimes an argument just keeps on losing.

But in general, calls for "Justice" on DU are actually calls for a desired verdict and, hopefully, some kind of extreme punishment. They are never calls for the process to work itself out.

Bundy is, in all likelihood, going up the river unless the government does something stupid.

But people on DU are generally displeased that criminals are entitled to defend themselves along the way. It's simply about the result.

Idiots occupying a wildlife refuge because of some belief of theirs? Lock em up. Idiots occupying an interstate highway because of some belief of theirs - bold civil rights heroes. It doesn't matter whether the law is only concerned with conduct. What matters on DU is whether one agrees with the political views of those engaging in it.

Bundy is a pathetic loser and that's all he and his gang will ever amount to. But that's not enough for people who need a justice system characterized by vindictiveness.
