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:
Stephani Oleson thats right
united we stand divided we fall
Goverment at its best,punishment for those who stand up for their rights and rioting and destruction of property go unpunished,anyone that can’t see this is blind!!
A greedy out of control government is the problem not the Hammonds.
Our Government is so wrong – we need to stand up for what is right.
Ok
BLOOD ON THE FEDS HANDS THERES YOUR SIGN
Its because the ranchers are white.Obama is a racist!
The terrorist government of Barak Hussein Obama needs to be brought to justice. The militia will be needed once again to stop this overbearing, overreaching of a idiot with a pen and phone. Need to impeach him NOW
Our own government is lableing its citizens as terrorists to destroy them to get their way when anyone goes against what the government wants. The sad part is that the government will not call foreing terrorist by their truen name, islamic terrirists, but has no problem putting that lable on its own people. Something is very wroing in Washington DC an We The People need to fix it.
