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.
And people like montel williams need to be held accountable for calling for their murders.
Your’e going on the theory that the protesters were threatening. Brandishing is a subjective term. Your definition and mine may differ. What proof can you offer me and all others on this thread other than the word of your FBI buddies that the protestors were “brandishing” weapons? Maybe they were just lawfully carrying weapons.
“I don’t screw around with amateurs because amateurism gets you killed. “
What agency of law enforcement are you with? That sounds like you are speaking in an official capacity. Fair disclosure and all.
Or a combat veteran.
If so a sad commentary.
Either go replicate what the idiots did in Oregon (so that we can all have a good laugh), or get in the kitchen and bake some cookies.
Says the Jr investigator for Loretta Lynch. LOL!
Trump believes that the land should remain with the government and that the government know best.
MBTE is methyl tertiary butyated ether, a gasoline additive. Are you talking ethanol?
No, it was an oil industry substitute for ethanol because they didn't want ADM et al to get the whole pie. They knew it would leak through plastic gas tanks and contaminate groundwater so they goaded GHWB into demanding that Congress specifically indemnify manufacturers of gasoline oxygenates. Read the second link I gave you as this case is mentioned specifically.
Doh! on my part. Point taken.
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.

But they STILL can't find anything to charge Hillary the Felon with...
