The Federal government does not like to be challenged, and it has the resources and the power to make citizens yield, and does so when it cannot win the argument. If you have been following the conflict in Oregon recently between ranchers and the Federal government, you will know that the government, which owns over 50% of the land in eleven western states, is willing to jail you for unintended trespass of undeveloped, unoccupied land.
Two ranchers who did some brush clearing of their own ranch, but inadvertently burned some of the adjoining federal land, are now in prison for a long stay, based on a charge of arson. It is worth pointing out that the fire they started was put out by the ranchers without outside help, and the land itself is actually now healthier and more productive due to the reduction of brush and overgrowth. But the government wants to make sure that everyone understands they are in charge and they have the power.
A small group of ranchers, led by Ammon Bundy, are occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge building in protest of the unjust sentence and the overbearing government position. Fortunately, no violence has developed, but Bundy and his group have vowed to stay until the two ranchers in question are freed. But the government still wants to make a strong point, and they have enlisted a judge to help them.
Huge fine threatened, page 2:
Just like every other fine, fee, penalty, tax, license, levied by government….. it’s not just designed to teach you a lesson, but to fill their coffers to the top with your money. The guy’s occupying an empty community building in the mountains that belongs to the People for- crying-out-loud, this man has committed no crime, just trying to help a fellow rancher that’s being Bullied by an out of control Government. He’s risking it all to help another (a good thing).
THE GOVERNMENT OWNS US. TOLD WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT DO.THE MIGHTY KING WHIPS OUT HIS PEN AND SIGNS IT INTO LAW. WE’RE FUCKED. HE NEEDS STOPPED
I don’t care where the mason Dixon line is, that’s the Yankee north and south line, the real south is what I posted, the mason Dixon line several of those states don’t even have southern accents, aka, not south , never heard a lot of those states considered the south, that’s laughable
Origin judge has been Bought and paid for…he is a disgrace to justice.
Don’t turn on your fellow citizens. This beef is with our corrupt government. It’s too big. It’s needs to be shrunk. They don’t deserve 6 figure salaries.
Hang that fucking judge! But only after he gets beaten within an inch of his corrupt life ! Then hang his$#%&!@*and let him rot off the rope!
This is so wrong. When will AL Sharpton going to paid his taxes?

You tell that judge BS then they need to go to every city in the U.S. where blacks stopped stores from doing business and cost them money,went into streets and,stopped people from going to work and cost them money,that’s why Trump is ahead in this race for,Presidency,is none of this is fair anymore.Whites can’t stand up without huge punishments, but tearing up Ferguson with people looting,on tv nothing is done,or Baltimore,give me a break.This is why their is divisiveness and,Obama starts all of it!
