I am not spun up enough to render a credible opinion based on the facts (I have one, but opinions w/o facts are well, you know...).
However, it appears from this article and your comments that the Bundys are being made examples of. This is wrong.
There are people in jail who have done far, far worse who are not treated like this.
IIRC, the Bundys supported the Hammonds, who did not want their support or participation. I wonder if the Hammonds have changed their tune after seeing what the Bundys are going through?
Why are you bringing the Hammonds into this? They had absolutely nothing to do with the Bundys. [And yes, they are probably sorry the Bundys are suffering. I hope no Bundy dies or then the .... will hit the fire. I hope the Hammonds sue the BLM for millions when this is over. I hope the Bundys do, too...and the lawyers. We don’t treat jihadists like this, nor dope dealers, nor wife beaters, or baby or husband killers...what is wrong with our judicial system that thinks total disagreement with a policy by the gov or BLM is a treasonous dissent? It is our right as citizens to disagree and it became physical when the gov made it so.
