And they were charged with terrorism?
This is one that begs for ‘the rest of the story’.
” less-than-140 acres of BLM land that was accidentally impacted” Ny BS meter is pegging on this phrase. I wonder if it means they burned land that belongs to the taxpayer.
Dwight Hammond, now 73 , and Steven Hammond, now 46 , were both sentenced to 5 years in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken.
BLM should be divided up and handed off to the states along with the lands they supervise.
If the individual states want to continue to employ them, thats their business. Personally, they are not what I would call essential personnel doing an essential job.
And really, the BLM lands themselves should be auctioned off or sold by lottery to US citizens. The government doesn’t need to own vast swaths of land. Certainly not the federal government, and really, the state governments don’t need to own this much land either.
The BLM, IRS, and ATF need to go.
The people who spawned ISIS have a hard time figuring out what terrorism is.
Nothing prevents your Elected County Sheriff from “Withdrawing Consent” for Federal Agents to operate within their County, or just Arresting Them.
Another voting “success” story. So how did voting for the gop help this?
So who’s going to jail for the Animas River pollution?
This is wrong on every level of decency.
These so-called judges and those who are telling them what to do are going to push just a little too hard one day in the not-so-distant future.
They will do this on purpose to force civil war II. They want it so they can come down hard on anyone who cherishes liberty and freedom.
This in NOT what the good American people want but being freedom loving and remembering what those who came before gave and those who have given abroad all these years before; there will be no choice but to resist and make those who started it; pay. I’m talking about the politicians behind the scenes and those are giving them their marching orders.
The pendulum always swings both ways eventually.
Thankfully, we just released a few thousand drug dealers out of prison so we have room for these “Terrorists”.
God, I miss America. :(
140 acres accidentally burned?
And Obammie the Commie bombs a hospital and kills 19 and gets away with an, “Shucks, I’m sorry.”
And yet Hillary continues to go along her merry, sowing death, destruction, and mayhem everywhere she goes. And no one gives a damn. Sickening.
If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.
I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
one of the frirst acts of a new republican president should be to pardon these two fellas, AND go after the blm or whatever agency it was that FALSELY declared these two men terrorists- Send a loud and clear message that abuse of power will be swiftly dealt with in the harshest terms possible!
Terrorism Statutes?
They proved that these two Americans “purposely” caused harm to Government owned sage brush? Oh the Humanity.
Seems to me that is the point. to shut people up and squash them. make an example of the troublemakers.
