Someone should bump the original Oregon standoff thread to show how many OTers were bashing these people.

Federal land managers are the worst neighbors a man could have.

Guess it all depends upon what said neighbor wants to get away with. I have worked with and for both BLM and USFS and found both to have professional staff that covered the spectrum from environmentalist to advocates for increased resource consumption. In general, I found those agencies to be excellent land managers, even if excessively bureaucratic.

If you're partial to heavy hardiness I suppose. I deal with them as,we'll and find them arrogant, vindictive and prone to cronyism.

Holy crap. Read the article at the link. The US Marshals tackled and tazed one of the defense lawyers at the end when he demanded to see a copy of a retainer warrant for his client, the Judge ordered the courtroom cleared and the US Attorney left early to attend a Minority Voters political rally. What the frick has happened to our justice system?


It's Oregon

they are becoming the new California, except even more progressive on the liberal front. very scary liberals in oregon.

Hopefully help is on the way, and a Trump Administration can purge all the SJW's from the Justice Department, and then kick some BLM arses to the curb.

It is truly time to drain the swamp and get all the SJW's out.

Not exactly. After the US govt. Took over vast areas of the West from the original indigenous occupants (usually via bogus treaties) the land was offered to white settlers. The settlers took the best land and left the mountains, deserts, etc. in federal hands. BLM, USFS, etc. manage those lands under a multiple-use mandate. Those lands belong to all of us and ranchers, farmers, timber companies, etc. should pay us fair market value to use them for commercial purposes. The occupants were in the WRONG.


The occupants claim blm intentionally failed to meet the land maintenance duties under the agreement in an underhanded attempt to get them to sell.

Should the occupants pay for service/usage they aren't receiving?

Then charges are pressed over a fire that was started to protect the land?

I'm more likely to believe these ranchers than some heavy handed federal agency every day of the week.

I can definitely understand having some level of sympathy for the Hammonds. That whole situation was a clusterfrick though.

The Bundys and the other crazies that showed up later to turn the Hammond's fight into their own gain though don't deserve any spillover sympathy.

This may not be a clear cut case of jury nullification. Several of the activist were already federal informers. It's possible that the jury was presented that the ranchers were lead into these violent actions by those informers who had something held over their head.
