The Federal government does not like to be challenged, and it has the resources and the power to make citizens yield, and does so when it cannot win the argument. If you have been following the conflict in Oregon recently between ranchers and the Federal government, you will know that the government, which owns over 50% of the land in eleven western states, is willing to jail you for unintended trespass of undeveloped, unoccupied land.
Two ranchers who did some brush clearing of their own ranch, but inadvertently burned some of the adjoining federal land, are now in prison for a long stay, based on a charge of arson. It is worth pointing out that the fire they started was put out by the ranchers without outside help, and the land itself is actually now healthier and more productive due to the reduction of brush and overgrowth. But the government wants to make sure that everyone understands they are in charge and they have the power.
A small group of ranchers, led by Ammon Bundy, are occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge building in protest of the unjust sentence and the overbearing government position. Fortunately, no violence has developed, but Bundy and his group have vowed to stay until the two ranchers in question are freed. But the government still wants to make a strong point, and they have enlisted a judge to help them.
Huge fine threatened, page 2:
Go fund me
The judge is out of his mind , he needs to b fired
In a previously empty building.
The Federal Goverment just wants to show its power an force which is sorry as hell, Leave theses Ranchers alone, U didnt bother the Thugs when they were burning Ferguson are Baltimore down so why theses guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oppressive bullies, and arrogant injustice are just a few words to describe the Govt for and of the people. Instead of your heavy handed threats against these people why not look into what they are complaining about, While looking, due to some inability toward logic and fairness just pretend the land grab were against you and your family and lively hood. Imploye DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WANT DONE UNTO YOU. Then through that lens judge whether there is injustice here..
Angel Toro, outnumbered? You block all the means of exit & remove the criminals from the cordon one at a time. Just like the cowboys thinned the cattle herd.
Sounds like the GOVERNMENT wants their LAND too!!! Bunch of Crooks. All the Rioters that destroyed Millions sons Millions, never had to repay a penny! But they want to charge…$70,000 a DAY?? Their thieves, an scumbags. Hope they get a good lawyer and Sue!!!
The right to peacefully assemble Angel Toro. Not the right to destroy, loot, and burn down. Your argument has zero validity. The thugs that were protesting are nothing more than that, thugs. FYI, white people are POS thugs as well. The national guard should have been ordered to surround, arrest, prosecute and then hold them accountable. Your liberalism is beaming through your stupidity.
oh nooo they are going to “bill” him? hahahaha what a joke, who cares? I wouldnt, bundy should use all these new “bills” as fresh toilet paper for the squad. rack up about 18 trillion dollars of debt just to make a point.
I think that’s the same fine for not baking cake for a lesbian.
