The stand-off in Oregon between the Federal government and Ammon Bundy and his fellow ranchers does not seem to be winding down. Bundy and his loosely connected organization came to Burns, Oregon about two weeks ago in support of Steven and Dwight Hammond, local ranchers who were accused of arson some years ago. The charges were filed because the Hammonds cleared some of their ranch by burning the underbrush and overgrowth, but the fire spread to surrounding Federal land. The Hammonds were able to extinguish the blaze without help, and in fact, both the Hammonds ranch and the Federal land are said to be more productive and healthier from the clearing, but the government seems intent on making a show of who is in charge.
The charge of arson, which in and of itself seems like a huge miscarriage of justice, in that it carries a mandatory sentence of 5 years in prison. A judge who tried the case thought so too and said that it would be improper and unfair to send them to prison for 5 years each, so he sentenced the Hammonds to less than a year in jail, which they completed some time ago. However, a judge or government agency seeking to show ranchers everywhere just who is in charge has demanded that the Hammonds serve the full five years, and the father and son left for prison last week.
Ammon Bundy claims new documents expose government abuse, page 2:
I wonder who read it to them?
It’s very doubtful that any of these anti-government terrorists have computer skills, so I think we can safely call b.s.
I don’t doubt it!! GOOD for these ranchers!!! EXPOSE the BLM!!!!
Actually they own land and had a lease.
This is about a different set of ranchers, the Bundys just jumped in this fray also.
Correct. These two were convicted in a court of law for arson. to cover up a poaching operation. I’m a hunter. I fucking HATE poachers. These guys at least were man enough to stand up and take their punishment. The judge deviated from sentencing guidelines, that’s why they ‘got more time’ it’s not uncommon. The REALLY important thing, these Oregon ranchers don’t want the Deadbeat Bundys there, either!
Wait a sec. Are people actually defending these dolts?
Look what they doing is all you need
We know it was created by Obama and George Soros to push chaos.
Most federal lands have been turned over to China for partial repayment of our trillion dollar loans that we could not repay. The Chinese have been demanding repayment. This is not something I’ve made up. Don’t believe me do your research on it.
