Good post @122 - I think the Hammond family will still get their day in court and it does seem unjust at first glance that they supposedly served the sentence and now they are called back to court to serve additional time. If the facts and circumstances are indeed unfair I suspect they will receive relief from the court, but I don’t see how this “takeover” will help the situation.
Did you know about this case before these guys took over the building?
I sure didn't. It is now a national story.
The fact that those guys could go to prison for 5 or more years for starting a backfire to protect their land from federal mismanagement of that land is a tyranny that should not be tolerated by any freedom loving individual.
The BLM is a joke. A monstrous joke. The Bundys were right to fight for their access to land that had been open to their family for 100 years. They may be wrong here, but they have more guts than I will ever have. So even if their cause is flawed, their zeal is to be admired. If I'm on the jury, these guys walk.
