Try to sober up. Aamon Bundy and his merry band of hotheads are out in the woods 50 miles from town in an unoccupied building. How is that doing the Hammonds any good? They likely have been told by their attorneys that they have a good chance to get out on an appeal.
Nobody is arguing that the govt has not committed a travesty agains’t these people but they did it legally. Nobody is storming their ranch and shooting their cattle. There are no sniper rifles trained on their front door. They have said they don’t want any help. The community is not out in the streets and their own state militia isn’t going to get involved. Its a no win BS stunt.
The real fight is going to be when the BLM tries to take 90,000 acres of private property on the Texas side of the Red River and give it to Oklahoma. Now that’s going to be a fight worth fighting for.
They probably also don't want to put the original deal at risk and end up with additional charges.
This is the first I've heard of such a thing. Just offhand it sounds right up someone's alley, not only pitting groups of Americans against each other but now states also?
Please elucidate.
Just a guess, could it have something to do with the Red River changing its course in some way? Nothing about it in the local news.
