Pretty much. This is a pretty decent read on it. Sounds like the ranchers got a raw deal thanks to the mandatory minimum, but otoh doesn't excuse the fire they set opposite the BLM fire fighters.The original ranchers got a pretty raw deal. They apparently set some controlled burns for various reasons (control invasive plants and contain wildfires) that made their way onto government lands. This allowed them to be prosecuted as terrorists because they committed arson against the federal government. The judge was old, retiring and gave zero fuchs so he did not give them the mandatory minimum five year sentences, but instead just three months for one and nine for the other. This pissed the BLM off so they had the prosecutor appeal.
I really do think the feds **** all over the original ranchers in every way possible to force them off their lands so they could use it as part of their wildlife refuge. However, the extreme fringe has seized on this cause and decided to fight the guvment holed up in this random building. The Bundys are basically the right's answer to Al Sharpton and other professional protesters who want to make it all about themselves.
And the whole "why hasn't the national guard been called in" is the dumbest GD argument ever. This building is literally fifty miles from anything remotely approaching civilization. The nutjobs are no threat to the general public in any way. Plus there's only like 15 people there, not the 150 that has been floated on the internet.

Pretty cut-and-dried for January 4.
Dude made 19-25 FT.
Is that supposed to make it less impressive? Seems like the only way they could (attempt) to stop him. He was 10-15 from the field.
He scored 32 points in the 2nd half in a game that they had to rally late to win.
All-American? He's an Aussie, you stupid touch.
I want REAL :100points: :americanflag: on my All-American team, TIA. :uzi:
