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.

Well there it is, the feds now give themselves the right to collect on an unplayable debt. This could very well come down to gun play, they need Janet Reno back, the butcher of Waco.
Screw that judge. Another political$#%&!@* Remove his$#%&!@*and put it in Obamas unemployment line. POS.!!!!!!
How much did they charge the niggers and the$#%&!@*rebel rousers for damages in Baltimore and Ferguson? Enough is fucking enough!!
When are good men going to start to stand for what’s right??
so people can burn down Ferguson , and the tax payers foot the bill , but let some Ranchers occupy a building that belongs to the STATE and they will be charged for it ?? Maybe Ammon should charge them since they had to clean rat s**t and p**s out of the building that supposedly the Feds own but they sure as hell do not take care of it …if rats are nesting in it !!
