I chuckled about one of their lawyers being tased, tackled and arrested at the end but.... this is one of the reason I generally do not like jury trials. Assuming the DA did their job (which is certainly not guaranteed but the facts in this case looked pretty straightforward from afar), this looks like a case of jury nullification where they agreed with the Bundy cause when the law did not and simply chose not to punish them.
