You have confused a guilty verdict with the actual commission of a crime. One can commit a crime and not be convicted. That does not make them innocent. It makes them not guilty.

Their crimes have been preserved for posterity on tape and audio files.

You may access the list of federal laws the Bundy Gang broke. But I have to ask this, you obviously side with the domestic terrorists because of their political philosophy, so if Muslim terrorists, who do not share the same political philosophy as you or the Bundys, did precisely the same thing as the Bundys, would you support their efforts as you do the Bundys?

Now for the clincher. This is what Mr Clive Bundy said, "I abide by all of Nevada state laws. But I don't recognize the United States government as even existing".

So my question for you is, do you recognize the Federal government as legitimate?

I understand the difference between "not guilty" and "not convicted". Just the same, in my opinion the authorities overreacted.
In the same manner, I believe it is utterly false to call the terrorists.

The Federal government is legitimate for it's prescribed purposes, not more. It is not of divine all mighty power.
Muslims, if also American citizens, what difference does it make?

Cowardly men always plot to label Freedom as anarchy!
