The standoff at the Malheur wildlife refuge in Oregon has officially ended, with the last four holdouts turning themselves in on Thursday. The protest started when agents took two ranchers in to serve a five year sentence for arson. The charge was tremendous overreach and a true breach of justice, since the ranchers had already served an abbreviated sentence determined by the first judge, and the charge of “arson” stemmed from the ranchers burning underbrush on their own ranch which then crossed onto federal land. The ranchers put the blaze out with no outside help, and the burned land is now more productive than ever. But the federal government, and the complicit environmental groups, are determined to control the western states and as much of the land as possible.
In fact, despite established law stating that the federal government can “own” no more than 10 square miles of property in the Washington D.C. area, the feds have laid claim to 51% of the total land mass of 11 western states. The illegal and unfair taking of more than half of the West compares poorly with the East which is relatively free of federal government ownership. For example, just 0.7% of New York is owned by the federal government.
However, the feds were embarrassed and humiliated by the ranchers who dared to protest the monumental overreach of the government, and they were determined to make an example of the them. That was accomplished when they laid in wait for the leaders of the protest when they drove to a meeting in another town. The agents forced the vehicle of one of the leaders off the road into a snowbank, waited for him to emerge from his truck, and then gunned him down in a case of cold blooded murder. But apparently their blood lust is not yet satiated.
Another victim for the feds, page 2:
what a crying shame
Obamas FBI working real hard,,taking your guns or die//
Over What? Well, You Go Right Ahead Mark Mattson, You’re the that one threatened me on here. I’ve never replied to or insulted you anywhere. Thats a Fact
Weird how the FBI never came in and shot/killed anyone in the Ferguson or Baltimore riots where they actually destroyed areas of the city, burned cop cars, etc.
What a crock.
a lot needs to be looked into and not by FBI .
They can arrest a rancher trying to defend his rights and make a living but cannot arrest someone for murder and breaching US security by illegal use of a Server shows how corrupt the FBI is
Unbelievable. Severe overreach. He hasn’t done an illegal thing. They want his land which he OWNS. Don’t you all wonder why they want these ranchers land? Think about it………
Unlawful
It’s too much like Waco Texas if you ask me! and that still needs to be answered for, and all involved with killing those Children and Mothers in Waco need prosecuted before these people are even held for arrest!!!!!!!!!!! National Republican Congressional Committee
