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:
If they had evidence, it would be on the internet already
Because, you know, ranchers be tech-savvy hackers ‘n’ stuff.
Probably got it from Hillarys personal email
How we handle treason??? Hell look who’s in the whitehouse, that’s the biggest tyrant America has ever seen. These guys in Oregon are standing up against big brother and I myself tip my hat to these guy’s. Eventually every American gets tired of the government bending the working man over, I know I am.
Damn your racism is of a rich variety. It’s comical. I’m sorry for your loss.
Harney County, Oregon—the site of a two-week long, militia-led standoff against the federal government—is “the most government-dependent county in Oregon,” according to a report from the New York Times…… Why loot when you already are. Standing up to the man? The man paying them in all kinds of social welfare?
Where, pray-tell, is there land a rancher can buy outright rather than “depend” on the government via having to lease the land for ranching? If there were more private property, and fewer ridiculous regulations, ranchers could actually take better care of the land than the government AND make enough money to reduce or eliminate any dependencies. The government creates dependency. That’s what it does best.
Surprise surprise !
Now they will definitely bust in and kill them all.
here’s hoping that the judge in this case, the fucking$#%&!@*and her husband that caused this to go through ALL die in as horrible a situation as there has ever been. MAYBE tboned by a gas truck at an intersection and burned to a crisp. I hate the fucking BLM, lying$#%&!@*deceiving low life bastards from hell. Love to see every damn one of them strung up from the nearest tree.
Great example. IF Donald Trump were in office, this$#%&!@*would not happen. BLM would not have run cattle to death with a million dollar helicopter a few years back, it would not have shot corralled prize bulls and then drug them 1/4 of a mile and swore the bulls attacked them. Trump would drop what he was doing and do something about this immediately.
