If the Hammonds were just backburning and it got out of control, yes.

But thats not what they were accused and convicted of. They were charged with arson to destroy evidence of illegal deer poaching on Federal property. The Gvt had witnesses, including one of Hammond’s relatives, testify and provide evidence to support it’s case. In a court of law, the Gvt won.

Now thats not said to diminish the very real issues of land use and double jeopardy. I’m just pointing out that this matter is very convoluted. Throw in that the Hammonds have asked the “militia” to back off, and it becomes apparent that this isn’t an issue for anyone to rashly throw themselves into.

You are right when it comes to the Bundys sticking their nose into this business. The Hammonds have made it clear they don't want any "help" from those people.

The govt had -one- disgruntled grandson who was at odds with the family. He was impeached on cross examination as having an ongoing little hissy feud with them, and was not believable by any rational person.

This is a story about two old men, who started a fire to burn off weeds on their property, and the Obama regime charged them with terrorism, and when they were sentenced to 3 years in prison, the Kangaroo judge said it was not enough, as this was terrorism, so gave them 5 years.

What is most distressing about this, is the criminal apologists for the Obama regime, the shills of Fogbow are backing this treachery and criminalization of Americans. I repeat, again, that 73 year old Dwight Hammond and 46 year old Steven Hammond were convicted of "terrorism" when the Obama regime could not even term their muzlim terrorists of San Bernardino as terrorists.

What no one has addressed in this, as the Supreme Court infringed on these American's Rights, in denying to hear this case, which proves that the Roberts Court belongs in 1950 Kremlin mockeries of justice against Citizens, is that there are statutes in EVERY American state mandating that if people do not control noxious weeds, they will be fined and then charged by the state for the spraying of weeds.

There is not one of you living in a city, even liberals, who has not heard of your local regime bitching at people for not mowing lawns or controlling their dandelions. That is what the Hammonds were doing. The Indians burned off prairie long ago, God burns off prairie to maintain it, but in the Obama regime, Americans mandated to control noxious weeds are now tried as terrorists.
