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:
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?????????
Terrorists don’t get five years. That’s red flag one that the court’s own belief, that they honestly are terrorists, is nonexistent. The government is afraid and is making examples of these heros. This family has my complete respect. As far as I’m concerned they intentionally sacrificed their freedom and liberty in order to bring attention to this tyranny. The federal government is reaching far over the boundaries that the Constitution set forth and is simply out of control. Thank God that these people brought this injustice to light for the American people. The responsibility to continue the fight in the courtrooms, political arena and by way of figuring activism now lies with us.
Sicking
