I’m trying to understand this story before I jump to conclusions.

Some landowners who wanted to protect their land from brushfires set a fire that happened to spread to federal land leading to arson convictions and five year sentences.

They served just over a year, got released but now the feds want them back in jail.

The men who are to report to jail, the Hammonds, intend to report to jail Monday.

The protestors say its unjust.

So they have occupied some building on federal land that isn’t even used in wintertime.

It looks like an act of civil disobedience at this point.

Are the protestors armed?

I don’t know???????

Not occupied, "broke into". I did a search around the other day and read half-a-dozen reports on all of this. These militia are going around trying to stir up trouble. The Hammonds and others in the community met with them and asked them to leave. They did not want their support or intervention. And, yes, some of the reports discussed the militia being armed and comments from the members about how their armed intervention was necessary and they were essentially itching for a fight. Well, find, they broke into federal buildings, arrest them, jail them, convict them, and send them to prison. As felons, they lose their guns. These troublemaking militia become neutered.

Sorry, I have no patience for people not respect basic US laws. Breaking into federal buildings, trying to intimidate people with arms, is not something any of us should be supporting or encouraging.
