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.
I wouldn’t put it past this current regime that they desire to have what you suggest come to pass. They would do everything possible to throw gas on that fire to throw the nation into chaos.
use to mix it up with code Pink,,
old libtards in pink old leotards were easily roused!
What’s that Stink ?
Code Pink!
And then the Pete Santelli's of the world get pissed when the rest of us didn't show up because they chose poorly.
On April 19, 1775 the militia knew what the red line was, and that is what led to a levee en masse response. It is irresponsible to attempt to drag the nation into a fight over something so stupid.
You go that right. We cannot get him into office fast enough to suit me.
I don’t think Trump supports murdering people or putting people in prison forever for small offenses.
Its now legal since 2009 to carry a firearm in Federal Parks.
Throw Madam Benghazi/Killary into that mix as well !!!
+1
There’s much more dirty operations going on below the surface that we are kept in darkness of knowing when THEY go to such an extreme length of KILLING, setting an “example” to scare people from protesting. MUCH more secret things and cover ups. Your “guuvernment is” here just to help. Yes, help MY FOOT !!!
Thanks for posting this update the most under reported and misrepresented story of the year.
I don't screw around with amateurs because amateurism gets you killed. For no gain.
lol. hopefully no more. i’m getting too old
My point is The Don is a big Fed man. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-dont-hand-federal-lands-to-states/
Does he support the BLM? the EPA? the arrest of the patriots?
“I think we can agree that brandishing is well beyond simple carry.”
Who is we? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? Uh no we can’t agree. Its lawful to carry a firearm in national parks so what part of that is hard to understand? Mr. GG2 and I are out in the wildlife refuges all the time and always armed. Gee I hope the FBI doesn’t murder us someday.
Donald Trump just state the other day that he is going to get rid of the EPA or shrink it down to the point where it is very inconsequential. Once he gets educated on what’s going on in the West I believe he will deal with it.
You can get the same lawyer and the same cell block. It is sad to see FReepers that are so out of touch with reality and no critical thinking skills.
Again and I will type this slowly, its legal to carry firearms in national parks.
What do you mean, “a big Fed man”?
If you can't distinguish the difference, rock on. I encourage you to follow in their footsteps. It will be entertaining for the rest of us.
They need to free these people.
