Entangled in a spat with the government over the practice of prescribed burning on their family ranch, the Hammond family has evidentially been labeled terrorists, and sentenced to five years in federal prison.
Prescribed burning is a preemptive move made to curtail the threat of forest fires. By thinning out the amount of vegetation on land in a controlled way, ranchers have been able to reduce the risk of serious, uncontrollable fires on their land.
While the Hammond Family has admitted to certain fires initially becoming larger than intended, all fires were privately put out, and no federal money was spent on the endeavors.
Regardless, they were still arrested.
The government’s actions here are not without precedent. Truth and Action has previously reported that the Bundy family, who own land adjacent to none other than Harry Reid, have been the subject to severe federal harassment. Other ranches have similarly complained of constant, federal oversight and harassment as well.
The Bundy family have had enough, and penned an open letter detailing the injustice of the Hammond family that you can read on the next page:
This is so totally BS..
The federal government; robbing America, one state at a time. A horrible tragedy what has happened to this family, and now all the other ranchers that have come to their aid. It appears the injustice doesn’t stop here. A media man that was filming and logging everything that was happening has been arrested for conspiracy, and now one of the local sheriffs has evidently been arrested for being too friendly with the protesters. The government is going to make sure no one bucks against them. We all know now, that standing up for the constitution will either cost us our life, out right, or we will be spending it in prison, one of the two.
Kris Walton I didn’t know about any of this, until it was exposed by the protesters (ranchers), that came from all over the United States to take a stand in Oregon against it. Now, they are all being treated like murderers. They will probably be spending years in jail. I heard they wanted to give them 20 years for the peaceful protest that was held.
God.
This is just plain and simple, abuse of power, and an actual lie on the backs of positive functioning Americans! We should all be pissed off about this. This government is so OUT OF CONTROL, I am almost ashamed to say I am an American. Time for WE, THE PEOPLE, to stand up and take OUR country back…..
Apparently it is only see- able by that TERRORIST that sits on his High Throne in Washington!!!!
While the jihadists are released lol
