Ammon Bundy should mind his own business, and the Hammonds
were convicted of arson on Federal Land.
This place has been a wildlife refuge since 1935.
Events such as this give a bad name to real freedom movements
and militias.
Our constitution provides for the protection and setting aside
of wild areas for conservation purposes.
We are welcome to some degree on these lands but are not
welcome to poach or burn it.
I suspect that the Hammonds and/or Ammon Bundy have an agenda
which is not what it seems.
Nobody should support these criminals.
The proper course is to cordon them off and allow them to starve
until they leave peaceably and prosecute them legally for wasting
resources and disrupting the peace.
This is being depicted as a private land takeover by supporters of these people.
If the government is rededicating public land to a wildlife refuge instead of renewing sweetheart "welfare" leases at far below market value, as is typical of BLM lands all across the west, then good riddance, especially if they were slaughtering deer, which are a public resource.
If it is part private land takeover and part refusal to lease, then what are the percentages? More information, please.
I dont think thats the one that truly angered the locals, but rather the second one that endangered firefighters lives who were fighting a fire when these morons set another one on the other side of them. Small detail that a lot of the folks leave out.
1.No they aren't.
2. They were already punished under an asinine and constitutionally illegal law.This was NOT terrorism,its just the pissy government getting pissy.
BS. There is nothing unconstitutional about protecting Federal lands. The courts have ruled on this very issue many times.
The two idiots that this thing is all based on are a couple of arsonists and poachers. Hardly anyone we would want to hold up as defenders of liberty.
The Hammonds burned 138 acres of public land to cover the fact they were poaching there. It's in the trial records.
They were never charged with poaching. That is made up, because yearly burn off of the over brush so the cattle can graze and the grasses come in greener, has been occurring yearly for over a century.
The government is mad, because they cannot go after the guy, for anymore liability. There was no market for the land, or the resources on it, so no monetary damages can be awarded. They are going for punitive, after the fact, on a trumped up accusation.

Trumped up? Multiple witnesses testified. They were both convicted of a 2001 arson (the one to cover up the illegal deer slaughter) and convicted the son of a second 2006 arson.
Why do right wing entitled nuts always cling to the worst people to hold up as heroes for their 'movement'?
These claims of poaching seem very dubious, does anyone have solid proof that the Hammonds were poaching?
Just like in the Bundy Ranch situation, the misinformation is rampant.

They set the forest on fire to destroy the evidence.
The poaching is basically irrelevant outside of providing a motive for the 2001 fire that both got convicted of starting.
