    (9th and 10th amendment, good reads)BLM Lies again!

    In 2006 a massive lightning storm started multiple fires that joined together inflaming the countryside. To prevent the fire from destroying their winter range and possibly their home, Steven Hammond (Son) started a backfire on their private property. The backfire was successful in putting out the lightning fires that had covered thousands of acres within a short period of time. The backfire saved much of the range and vegetation needed to feed the cattle through the winter. Steven’s mother, Susan Hammond said: “The backfire worked perfectly, it put out the fire, saved the range and possibly our home”.

    The next day federal agents went to the Harney County Sheriff’s office and filled a police report making accusation against Dwight and Steven Hammond for starting the backfire. A few days after the backfire a Range-Con from the Burns District BLM office asked Steven if he would meet him in town (Frenchglen) for coffee. Steven accepted. When leaving he was arrested by the Harney County Sheriff Dave Glerup and BLM Ranger Orr. Sheriff Glerup then ordered him to go to the ranch and bring back his father. Both Dwight and Steven were booked and on multiple Oregon State charges. The Harney County District Attorney reviewed the accusation, evidence and charges, and determined that the accusations against Dwight & Steven Hammond did not warrant prosecution and dropped all the charges.

    In 2011, 5 years after the police report was taken, the U.S. Attorney Office accused Dwight and Steven Hammond of completely different charges, they accused them of being “Terrorists” under the Federal Antiterrorism Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. This act carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of death. Dwight & Steven’s mug shots were all over the news the next week posing them as “Arsonists”

    ...Judge Michael Hogan & Frank Papagni tampered with the jury many times throughout the proceedings, including during the selection process...

    On January 4,, 2013, Dwight and Steven reported to prison. They fulfilled their sentences, (Dwight 3 months, Steven 12 months).

    In October 2015, the 9th District Court “resentenced” Dwight and Steven, requiring them to return to prison for several more years. Steven (46) has a wife and 3 children. Dwight (74) will leave Susan (74) to be alone after 55 years of marriage. If he survives, he will be 79 when he is released.

    Jury tampering, double jeopardy, and a host of other illegal and immoral acts perpetrated by the Feds to steal land and quash dissent.

    Honestly the ACLU doesn't take over a school every time a black transvestite Muslim kid is discriminated against. Instead they go through the courts and they get results. What these guys needed to do was go through the courts. It sounds like there are issues between the BLM and ranchers, and I honestly don't doubt that. Going straight to guns to protect people who don't want you to protect them (the Hammonds didn't want them there and turned themselves in the day they were to go in), in places that don't want you (whole town and state were pretty much not having it) is just stupid. They need to come together, pool money, and deal with the government through the courts and media releases. I'm really not against them, and I sure they have good, reasonable issues that need to be dealt with, but that's not going to happen now. At this point the court of public opinion is basically "herp derp they militia, they stupid!" not "oh, yeah maybe the ranchers do have a point".

    Lots of assertions of fact on behalf of the outraged, none of which is backed up by evidence.
