They maybe acting a little extreme for most people. But I find it interesting to see a group of people sticking up for what they believe in to the fullest extent of possibly being killed. Even though many people would think it would be a silly reason to die for, it just kinda shows another glimmer of hope and that theres people with spines still in existence.
Really?The same thing that ISIS and Muslim extremists are doing.
Really what? They are doing EXACTLY what RCM192 said. They are standing up for what they truly believe to the fullest extent. They dont care that people disagree with it.
I see them as terrorists.
So refusing to stand down and watch the feds unilaterally sieze land and property is some how equal to the slaughter of innocent people because they refuse to convert to a specific form of Islam?
Again I dont know enough about the fed land grabbing to support or condem these men but I will tell you this, there is a day coming when this sort of thing will be the only way to save this great exeriment.
It happens every single day. Taking over a governmental building and threatening violence is an act of terrorism.
Of course when they are on your side and fighting for what you believe in one would see the, as heroes. Yes. To the British, our founding fathers were terrorists. This isn't even about a land grab. This is about someone not agreeing with a sentence that a judge didn't see having fit the crime so the sentence was changed. It happens every single day. Taking over a governmental building and threatening violence is an act of terrorism.

I believe our founding fathers initially tried to resolve issues pepeacefully. After many failed peaceful attempts, they took up arms. If you are having a difference of opinion, and you arm yourself, your asking for trouble.

Will armed black lives matter protestors, extreme anti abortionist, or Muslim right activist, be received the same, as long as they are armed, but peaceful?
This case is not about land grabbing. The family in question has land bordering federal land, and on two occasions set fires on their land that subsequently burned over onto federal land, leading to criminal charges that in and of themselves could be argued as overstepping given the specific circumstances of the incidents. The uproar hear is not even actually with the BLM policies so much as being over minimum sentencing guidelines hamstringing judicial discretion. The judge that originally sentenced them did so at less than the minimum five years required by statute, apparently deeming that the totality of the circumstances did not warrant, in his opinion, that strong of a sentence. The prosecution then appealed and the circuit court ruled that they must be sentenced per the requirements of the statute.
So is the judge who ignored the statutory requirements a "renegade" just doing what he wants all willy-nilly regardless of the mandates of the law? Or is he a "renegade" standing up for justice in the face of federal overreach through unjust minimum sentencing guidelines that improperly limit judicial discretion?
Either way, it sounds to me like these people are occupying the wrong building.
