| The short summary is: in an effort to draw attention to a ridiculous arrest of a father and son pair of Oregon Ranchers (“Dwight Lincoln Hammond, Jr., 73, and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond, 46,) who are scheduled to begin five year prison sentences (turning themselves in tomorrow January 4th 2016), three brothers from the Cliven Bundy family and approximately 100/150 (and growing) heavily armed militia (former U.S. service members) have taken control of Malheur Wildlife Refuge Headquarters in the wildlife reserve. They are prepared to stay there indefinitely. A much more detailed history of government perfidy at the link |

| #7 DOJ, FBI and the entire federal criminal justice apparatus are corrupt. This conviction is about as convincing as a Soviet puppet trial. Sorry - but the notion that they 'had their day in court' is about 30 years expired. |

| #6 The fact the feds keep changing the rules to benefit them and then go after these ranchers again for their land is pure tyranny. I don't know what the occupation of the refuge is the right idea, but someone needs to stand up to the feds in the west and force them to back down, or double down and shoot it out. It has become that bad with the lawless feds. |

| #5 The way I hear it is that the were convicted, sentenced, served their time, and only after all that someone decided the sentence wasn't enough so changed it. Federal prosecutors said the act of a controlled burn was a terrorist act which demanded the Hammond serve out the whole 5 years. I'd be angry as hell over this as well. Which is, in my tiny mind, another reminder why Patriot Act era laws must be repealed. |

| #2 Shocking stuff. Thanks fire the update. I've only seen headlines about them being "arsonists." And that's all you'll ever see unless you search passed the first 20 Google entries |
