Just bought a Lami Redline, an XMG, and a Fetha , smh welfare....... Yeah.....

Gee, a government agency acting belligerent and intentionally fu.cking with someone for challenging them.

Like that's never happened before.

Still, these guys aren't doing themselves any favors with this stunt.

Is Fetha still in business?

You're so right, but I think that they know that they are putting themselves at risk. hopefully it can be settled peacefully and not end up like Waco, Ruby Ridge, Wounded Knee, etc.

The sad part is if no one stands up to challenge agencies and or officials that have overstepped their authority such behavior will become even more common.

We should all realize that in a situation such as this, much of the information provided to us by the mainstream media basically comes from the government, Federal, State and local, so one should not be surprised if much of it is self serving.

I am not trying to defend the "militants" but I can understand the frustration that having to deal with an all empowered and belligerent agency can cause, and I stand by my claim that if such agencies go unchallenged we must expect even more poor behavior.

Even though Government has the ability to change the rules and move the goal posts in the middle of the game , it still appears to me that the Feds overstepped their authority on at least several occasions with the Hammonds and that they were also belligerent and vindictive in most of their dealings with them. And yes setting fires can be legal.

Have you read anything about the history of this situation or just the ridiculous satire from the New Yorker and the fluff piece from the Oregonian to which you linked? If you have not you might consider reading something written by someone with a different perspective. The piece that Evo linked is interesting, although it also should be taken with a grain on salt. That being said it would be hard to argue with the validity of many of its assertions

this isnt about BUNDY its about the HAMMONDS...

the BUNDY'S are the idiots there causing problems...

the Hammonds are the ones getting fvcked over TWICE and noone does anything, well the idiots from Bundyville are trying to do something.....


stop focusing on these bullsh!t stories and over inflations, the judge thought that 5 years was too much, he sentenced them to 3 months and i think 12 months, they served it, then crazy bitch from the west comes in after they are released because they wouldnt sell their land AGAIN and makes them serve the full 5 years....


in a murder case, the state just lost, this should be the same, you [Bleeeeep!] up on your sh!t thats your problem, the judge said it was too harsh and gave them what they got, you cant do that to people..... you do that to people, and this sh!t happens.....
