Leader of Oregon standoff: ‘We will continue to stand’
PORTLAND, Ore. — The leader of a federal wildlife refuge takeover in Oregon said his group will “continue to stand” after he and six others were acquitted last week of charges in the case.
Ammon Bundy told The Oregonian/OregonLive (https://goo.gl/lmyEHm ) 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.
