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:
The government finally figured out how to get the Bundy Ranch – this is outrageous! Pay attention…a gauntlet has been cast down.
THEY BRING IN THE MUSLIMS, ORDER THE MEDIA SILENCED AND GIVE THEM 22 MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS…..THIS WAS A QUIET DEMONSTRATION WHICH NO ONE IS BEING AFFECTED. WHY DON’T THEY GET RID OF THE MUSLIMS. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REASON TO BRING IN THE UNITED NATIONS MILITARY……THOSE SOB’S DO NOT NEED TO PUT A FINE ON THAT MAN WHICH IS JUST DEFENDING HIS RIGHTS…….OUR GOVERNMENT SUCKS OBAMA’S BALLS.
IF POSSIBLE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A DONATION FUND FOR THIS MAN TO HELP HIM. OUR GOVERNMENT IS WRONG TO BURY THIS MAN……..WHERE IS AN ATTORNEY WHO CAN FIGHT THIS BATTLE WITH THIS MAN……HELP HIM…..

our goverment will beat the people down and make them submit what happen to America …land of the free
Because he’s a douche bag.
When you say “they”, who do you think “they” get the funds from? “They” get it from “us!” More specifically, the locals get hit the hardest. Think! Besides, bundy group does more harm than good.
It just shows the over reach of government more vividly, take your wallet first then your life
Isn’t this over grazing fees? So the cows eat the grass and fertilize the land how about sending the government a bill for taking care of the land?
How about gold and uranium found by BLM on Hammond land worth billions?? Is that enough for a federal agent to find a way to jail them and take the land for mineral rights?https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153166548781856&set=p.10153166548781856&type=3&theater
