What irritates me the most about this is that the Hammonds, who had a legitimate grievance with the Federal Government, have had their cause co-opted by the Bundys, who don't. By staging this protest, Bundy is actually hurting Hammond's cause because the public eye now equates Hammond with the clownish stand-off, when in fact Hammond had nothing to do with it and tried to seek justice in a legitimate way.
Plus the Hammonds' themselves do not even support the actions of Bundy, etc.
