RE: The Persecution Of Rakem Balogun Proves This Is Still J Edgar Hoover’s FBI
Quote from one of the links in the article:
"Not everyone is convinced, however, that the FBI is singling out black Americans. JJ MacNab, a domestic terrorism expert, said that rhetoric of the sort employed by Daniels and appearing in public or on social media with guns would get anyone investigated, regardless of their race or affiliation. MacNab added that she was aware of FBI investigations into the predominantly white American militia movement, saying that she did not believe there was a disproportionate focus on black groups."
Enough said.
Did anyone from the Moocher Rebellion go to jail for pointing firearms at federal officers, staking out sniper positions and fomenting a Social Media firestorm aimed at the Bureau of Land Management fascists that wanted him to pay for the use of public land for Bundy's profit?
Nuff said indeed.
I googled what was the Moocher Rebellion and nothing came up. The only way someone wasn't arrested for pointing fire arms at federal officers is if federal officers went to question someone and was told by them to get off their land, to which they'd have every right to hold a firearm but not point it at anybody. If the federal officers didn't have a warrant there is nothing they can do if someone stands on their property with a rifle in hand and telling them to get off their land. In the end though things didn't work out for the Bundy situation either....did it.
The Moocher Rebellion WAS the Bundy thing. His cattle (moo) were grazing on public land for decades. He owed US Citizens millions of dollars and whipped up a rebellion via social media >> MOOcher Rebellion.
They pointed weapons at federal officers, staked out sniper positions, and IIRC, nobody ever went to jail over it.
Two of the domestic terrorists from the riotous camp straight up executed a cop in WA State. But they were just crazy white folk. Not representative of dangerous cop killers like the BIE.
Have a nice day.
I think you need to read up on those trials and convictions a bit better. It was the Mulheur National Wildlife Refuge not Moocher. Two people who Bundy kicked off his land for being to radical ended up losing their lives (one committed suicide the other killed by police) after shooting two police officers in Las Vegas, another guy got 68 years in prison, assorted others involved got prison time, the stand off where you mentioned they pointed guns was halted because after the federal agency called for back up the sheriff showed up and told the feds the warrant was no good, it had expired, the Bundys case was dropped because the feds didn't give evidence demanded by the judge to be given. So it's a lot more complex then what you seem to be think and it went on for years.
The first criminal case resulting from the standoff, against six Bundy supporters, was declared a mistrial by U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro on April 24, 2017. Six men had been charged with conspiring with Cliven Bundy to prevent a court-ordered cattle seizure. The mistrial was declared hours after the jury convicted two men of some of the 10 counts in the indictment. The jurors reported to the court they were “hopelessly deadlocked” on the remaining counts and defendants, despite the judge having sent them back to deliberate further but they were unable to reach any unanimous verdicts for four defendants, described by prosecutors as the "least culpable" of the 17 who were charged, and on the remaining counts for the two who were convicted. Over 50 prosecution witnesses testified in the two-month trial. Former militia group member, Gregory Burleson, of Arizona, who has also been a paid FBI informant, was convicted of assault upon and threatening of a federal officer, aiding extortion via both interstate commerce and travel, obstruction of justice, plus multiple gun counts. He faces a 57-year mandatory minimum sentence. Idaho activist Todd Engel was found guilty of obstruction of justice and interstate travel in aid of extortion. Representing himself at trial, he may be sentenced to as much as 30 years in federal prison on the first two charges. At his July 26 sentencing, Burleson was given 68 years for recruiting others in Arizona to join the standoff, and posting "alcohol fueled' rants encouraging others to do the same.[170] Engel was to be sentenced on the following day with Cliven, Ammon and Ryan Bundy and two others expected to be tried later in 2017.[171] Retrials of the first six and the trials of the remaining eleven defendants were originally scheduled for June 26th by Judge Navarro.[172]
The retrial for the four defendants for whom no verdict was reached in April began on July 11, 2017, in Las Vegas.[173] The Jury began deliberations on August 15, 2017.[174] On August 22nd, they found two of the defendants not guilty on all charges and cleared the other two of most charges, but they could not reach verdicts on four charges against Eric Parker and two charges against Scott Drexler.[175]
The first defendant to be sentenced is Gerald "Jerry" DeLemus of Rochester, New Hampshire who tried to change his guilty plea to "not guilty." He received a little more than seven years from Judge Navarro, for conspiracy and interstate travel in aid of extortion, with credit for the 16 months he has already served.[176]
A verdict of not guilty was returned on two defendants August 22, 2017 by the jury after 3 days of deliberation. Two others were found not guilty of several of the charges and unable to come to a decision on other charges. Ricky Lovelien and Steven Stewart were acquitted of all 10 charges and ordered released. There were not-guilty findings on most charges against Scott Drexler and Eric Parker.[177][178] On August 23, 2017, the court scheduled a retrial for September 25, 2017 on both Drexler and Parker and ordered them released to return to Idaho, pending retrial.[179][180] On August 31, 2017 the court scheduled a trial date for October 10, 2017 for Cliven Bundy, Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, Ryan Payne and Peter Santilli. Included with this group will be the retrial of Scott Drexler and Eric Parker.[181] On October 6, 2017, the court rescheduled to October 30, 2017 the trial for 6 of the 7 defendants. Peter Santilli pled guilty to conspiracy to injure or impede federal officers by blocking BLM law enforcement officers in with his car, and was released pending sentencing in January 2018.[182][4] On October 23, 2017, Scott Drexler and Eric Parker each pled guilty to a single count of obstruction of a court order, a misdemeanor charge. Both men will be sentenced on February 2, 2018.[183] On November 14, 2017, Micah McGuire pled guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to impede federal officers, and was released pending sentencing on February 14, 2018[184]
During a sealed court hearing on November 29, 2017 judge Gloria M. Navarro considered multiple defense motions seeking dismissal of the case due to alleged withholding of exculpatory evidence by the federal government. After the sealed hearing, judge Navarro granted pretrial release to Cliven Bundy, his son Ammon Bundy, and co-defendant Ryan Payne.[185]
On December 4, 2017, U.S. Magistrate Judge Peggy Leen ordered the pretrial release of the remaining defendants.[186]
On December 20, 2017, Judge Navarro declared a mistrial, stating that federal prosecutors had willfully violated evidence rules and failed to turn over pertinent documents to the defense. Both sides were instructed to submit legal briefs by December 29 on whether the government should be allowed to pursue a new trial with a hearing to be held on January 8, 2018. A new tentative trial date was set for February 26, 2018.[187]
On December 21, 2017, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered an examination into the federal prosecution's mishandling of the Bundy case.[188]
On January 8, 2018, U.S. District Court Judge Gloria Navarro dismissed with prejudice the criminal charges against Cliven Bundy, his sons Ammon and Ryan, and co-defendant Ryan Payne regarding the standoff. At that time she also scheduled a February 26, 2018 trial date for "Tier 3" defendants Melvin Bundy, Dave Bundy, Jason Woods and Joseph O'Shaughnessy.[189] On February 7, 2018, the federal government motioned the court to dismiss with prejudice the indictments against the remaining defendants "in the interests of justice."[190]

Black guy goes to prison for 5 months for talking about pointing guns.
White guys get squat for pointing guns.
Feds adhere to legal procedure with white guys, warrant, proper evidence gathering and whatnot. Black guy, goes to jail for 5 months with little to no due process.
Several "white" people went to jail, two crazy right wingers died, another guy died after leaving the scene of the stand off, another gets 67 years in prison, others also got jail time....they didn't get away with anything, if the government wouldn't turn over evidence requested by the judge there's no case.
