The important bits were
A jury found Burleson guilty in April of threatening and assaulting a federal officer, carrying a weapon in a crime of violence, obstruction and traveling across state lines in aid of extortion.
Burleson was convicted as much for what he said after the standoff as for what he did during it.
I guess afterward he told an undercover FBI agent that he’d gone to the Nevada ranch in hopes of shooting federal officers. I also noticed that this guy had been an FBI informant previously. Sounds like kind of a loser.
What I’d really like to know about is that guy on the bridge, and if his rifle was pointed in the direction of federal agents. Anyone who points a gun at a federal agent should go to jail.
What direction a rifle is pointed can be pretty important. I especially don’t like to hear of anyone using a rifle to threaten a federal agent or anyone else for that matter. Having a philosophical beef with the feds and withholding fees is one thing, threatening with a firearm is another.
