PROTEST: Leader of Oregon standoff vows to “continue to stand”

Ammon Bundy told The Oregonian/OregonLive in a phone call from the Multnomah County Detention Center on Monday that it was their duty to stand.

“We did it peacefully,” Bundy said. “We did it legally, and the jury’s verdicts confirmed that.”

Bundy said the trial ended in “another example of the government not following the law” when U.S. marshals arrested his attorney for challenging the judge’s order to keep him in custody.

Bundy remains in jail because he still faces charges in the 2014 standoff at his father’s Nevada ranch. He said he had expected to be transferred to Nevada on Tuesday with brother Ryan Bundy, but U.S. marshals in Las Vegas would not comment about the move.

Ornery juries are vital to the health of a republic.
