The Problem? The usual government double standard;
"The reason these guys were in this legal fight was over a backburn, which is a fairly normal farming and ranching practice," said Mr. Lane. "They had two backburns on their private land in an effort to protect their private property. Those fires jumped the line over to federal land and burned 100 acres." He said the BLM and Forest Service have also set managed burns that flared out of control and onto private land, but "there are no legal consequences."
"For the ranching community, when they see that playing out and the government sort of shrugging their shoulders and saying, 'Well, this stuff happens,' and when a family tries to protect their private property in a similar manner and they're put in prison on terrorism charges, it tends to build that narrative of mistrust," said Mr. Lane.
Next Step; re-pay the Hammonds the $400,000 'restitution', with interest.
The Last Step; fire the BLM officials who pressed charges, and the prosecutors who tried Hammnonds.
Good find, Redcliffsw
