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:
I don’t recognize our country anymore!!!
Sad that our citizens are persecuted and obozo and the Moslems are in control of the US and are technically here illegally since 1952 yet they’re here in our country and running it into the ground
Probably ever…tragic.
Obama and his outrageous regulations that were issued by Executive Action are UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The BLM is not a law enforcement agency. The only branch of government that is authorized to make laws is CONGRESS. This overreach of the Obama administration is TYRANICAL. He is trying to steal the land from the ranchers who have owned it for decades. Just exactly where is AMERICA headed with these lawless actions?
the terrorist lives in the white house
Only under obamas watch could this happen.
What abut ferguson or Baltimore
Terrorist my$#%&!@* The only terrorist is in the white house
And the people running the government. That goes to show you thry wouldn’t know a terrorist if the we’re standing in front of them.
ABSURD !
That is just wrong.
