Entangled in a spat with the government over the practice of prescribed burning on their family ranch, the Hammond family has evidentially been labeled terrorists, and sentenced to five years in federal prison.
Prescribed burning is a preemptive move made to curtail the threat of forest fires. By thinning out the amount of vegetation on land in a controlled way, ranchers have been able to reduce the risk of serious, uncontrollable fires on their land.
While the Hammond Family has admitted to certain fires initially becoming larger than intended, all fires were privately put out, and no federal money was spent on the endeavors.
Regardless, they were still arrested.
The government’s actions here are not without precedent. Truth and Action has previously reported that the Bundy family, who own land adjacent to none other than Harry Reid, have been the subject to severe federal harassment. Other ranches have similarly complained of constant, federal oversight and harassment as well.
The Bundy family have had enough, and penned an open letter detailing the injustice of the Hammond family that you can read on the next page:
Sounds like Harry Reid is trying to push out the neighbors to obtain their land.
If republicans didn’t worship the feds for half their overreaches then they might be credible
Thank the government for identifying these dangerous terrorists, this threat to our lives and security! Thank the government for replacing them with widows and orphans from Syria that cannot possibly be a threat to our lives or security.
The Feds are so wise and spend our money so well.
:-p
It’s time for our current government to go…
it’s a conspiracy website
F**e news site. Do some fact checking people.
It seems the government loves to label law abiding citizens as terrorists and has a hard time calling actual terrorists, terrorists.
I’m with you.
The BLM, a collection of college failures, drop outs, and idiots punctuated by a few really good people who’s desire to inject commonsense into regulatory monitoring is commonly crushed by the incredibly incompetent that run this organization for their own ideals and interests.
