As you probably know, patriots took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in an attempt to keep a father and son pair of Oregon Ranchers, Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., 73, and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond, 46, from serving five year prison sentences for setting fire to federal land. The protest ended up with one American citizen being murdered by the government and several others being arrested.
The protest was peaceful on the part of the citizens. Not so much on the part of the government. That's why we have the 2nd Amendment.
While Obama has illegally ordered the release of drug dealers, Muslim terrorists and illegal aliens from prison, when it comes to white patriots the regime is determined to see to it that they go to prison- for a LONG time. Yeah, that's who he is- a filthy scumbag.
The Oregon militia members could be facing DECADES in prison under a set of new criminal charges that Obama demanded including additional firearm offenses, theft of public property and damaging a Native American archaeological site, according to The Guardian.
Federal prosecutors in Portland have greatly expanded their case against brothers Ammon and Ryan Bundy and more than a dozen defendants who participated in the armed takeover of the Malheur national wildlife refuge in the high-profile standoff that began 2 January and dragged on for 41 days in rural Oregon.
Last month, after the final four occupiers surrendered to the FBI, officials arrested and charged a total of 25 people for their roles in the armed anti-government demonstration on public lands controlled by the federal government.
The rightwing activists, who traveled from across the U.S. to protest the government's land-use restrictions in the west, are all accused of using "force, intimidation and threats" to conspire against and impede government officials - a federal felony offense that carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison.
But on Wednesday, prosecutors unveiled a slew of new charges against 19 of the 25 defendants in the case - an indication that the federal government plans to aggressively target the protesters, some of whom could face more than 20 years in prison if convicted of all the offenses.
In a newly unsealed grand jury indictment, 19 of them are now also charged with possessing firearms and dangerous weapons in federal facilities - an offense that could carry up to five years in prison.
Nine of those defendants are also facing new charges of using and carrying a firearm in relation to a violent crime – an offense that mandates a minimum sentence of five years. That charge carries a similar mandatory minimum as the offense that led to the prosecution and imprisonment of two Oregon ranchers whose case inspired the Malheur standoff.
Violent crime? The only violent crime is when they murdered LaVoy Finicum. He was ambushed and "murdered" execution-style.
Liberals celebrated the murder. They won't be celebrating when they find themselves in FEMA camps with micro=chips implanted into their useless bodies.
Okay, that may sound a tad far fetched but there is no doubt that the government, especially under the Obama regime is growing increasingly dangerous and have a mission to silence us. They want to control us- what we eat. What we watch on TV. Who we worship- GOD. What flag we fly and where we fly it. The type of firearms and ammo we buy. The list goes on and on and on.
Look, these protesters are peace loving Americans who took a stand against a tyrannical government- plain and simple. The only bloodshed came as a result of over zealous government murderers.
Please pray for these patriots. They are getting screwed by the very government that we PAY for.
Unbelievable.
>>funny how the left never waits. even with Bush in office they made huge strides against common decency.
Progressives always win because they don’t wait for the big Hail Mary play. They just inch forward, step by step, and they can wait years between steps. These 7 years of Obama have been very successful for them because the Progressives in the GOP have begun to unmask and join with their fellow travelers in the Dem party.
We just keep chasing the dollars while waiting for someone else to save us, whether that is the guy who will make America great again, or the guy who will bring us back to God or “save the Constitution”, or even those who are just waiting for Jesus to come and set things right. We are not the people who say, “screw it. I’m calling in sick today and protesting!”
why is that?
I could never figure it out.
I got In trouble at a protest for the troops once. got into fistfight with three anti American ####s.
it was right after lasik surgery too lol. they hit my fiancé and all hell broke loose.
told my older brother and he FLIPPED!!!!!
said stay home and vote . @#$@#$ @#$@#$ @#$@ @#$ @#$ jerk!!!!!
what good did getting in trouble do!!!!!! W@#$ @#$ @#$ @#
I gave up after that lol
>>I got In trouble at a protest for the troops once. got into fistfight with three anti American ####s.
What did you hope to accomplish with a fist fight. A protest is civil disobedience for a cause. It is about forcing the confrontation and having the other side break bad first. Progressives get that. You thought like a “reactionary” by trying to get the “big win” by fighting with 3 people. If you had beaten them to a pulp, would your cause have been advanced the slightest bit?
Hearts and minds! Being the people who will peacefully stand their ground while the tear gas is being readied is the way to protest. You don’t leave quietly at the first demand to disperse, but you also don’t take it to bloody insurrection either. Not yet, at least.
one of them hit my girlfriend for her sign supporting the troops.
But highly unlikely in an urban area filled with tree huggers.
would love to see an investigation of his administration when trump gets in and jail these bastards
The Good Ole Days,,,
Thanks for the promotion to ringleader ;)
Trump has addressed this—see video in post #23.
He has taken the position that most here would have taken—that the BLM is dictatorial and exerts unlawful powers.
Cruz had a chance to address this as well-— then he told the ranchers to stand down. I would have thought an “outsider” like him would have more closely sympathized with these protesters.
Regardless, your point about making this more well known is well taken.
I have not yet watched the murder of LaVoy Finicum because after Ruby Ridge, Waco, Elian Gonzalez, I am sickened to see what is done in MY name by MY government.
At least with Trump I feel that this kind of incident will not be glossed over. Trump has an innate sense of justice, and tends to want to right a wrong.
I don’t see that kind of empathy with Ted.
Good to see you still posting, and hope to see you on a Trump rally thread.
good fight!!
I was a boxer but that was 13 years and 50 pounds before the fight :)
three guys and my girlfriend got in a few good shots!!
had to protect the eyes because of the recent lasik surgery so jabbing arm (left) was useless.
the whole protest ended because of us lol
You’re right. It’s our responsibility to make America right again. You have to admit though that it is harder oppose the Left than it is to oppose the right. To oppose the Left takes courage, even to the point of physical harm. They are often irrational and criminal. That’s why we have to he smarter than them and work much harder than them. I’m not whining but just putting things in perspective.
er, didn’t the forefathers break the law BIG TIME?
Everyone has rights but it’s as if whites won’t acknowledge theirs.
two posts I made recently :)
this one’s about a pro Troop event I went too with GF, and one of three lefists hit her:
good fight!!

second one:
to be TOO HONEST, the couch is so comfy, i’m 47 and out of shape, I’ve boxed and don’t like pain, especially a bullet, plenty of food in the fridge, there’s Netflix and amazon prime, and under 35 kids are all liberal so they get what they deserve,
WHAT CAN ONE MAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know the answer anymore
Yes! Some laws are Wrong, or just plain Evil! There is a time to fight.
i’m not 25 or even 35 anymore.
the young’uns need to step up but they’re so dam liberal.
Soft...
Just wait!
March Madness will soon be here!
Just wait...
If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart,
if you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain.
—Winston Churchill
....and if you are a Christian, masculine, patriotic, gun-carrying male, who won’t bend over...”
I’m praying that there are enough of those left to save us and this nation.
Does anyone know what happened to David Fry, the last man to surrender? I can’t find anything. Information would be appreciated.
That makes Scalia "an insider." You flunk.
Have you got to the point that you've been in court yet?
Not yet. I have the accomplishment and am in the process of acquiring the reputation for it. I have been invited to write published technical papers in grassland ecology, archaeology, and anthropology. Getting there.
I foresee too problems:
So do I. However, the law very clearly shows a preference for market solutions over government and has for fifty years.
What I have in mind for what you are talking about is the whole "Greenhouse gases / Global Warming" bullshit.
Nope. It was MTBE. Really, it is a lot bigger problem than you realize. Even Mark Levin doesn't get it. Rush is starting to, but he's fifteen years behind that curve.
