Hammond Brothers Were Convicted of Arson of Federal Property; Fires Allegedly Destroyed Evidence of Deer Poaching

I needed to dig down for myself, to get to the root of some of these issues, since of course leftists are going to feverishly demonize the Hammonds and the militia members as "terrorists."

A good report is at the Heavy, "Dwight & Steven Hammond: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know."

Also, at the Portland Oregonian, "Oregon ranchers' fight with feds sparks militias' interest."

And once again, from Rachel Alexander, "Obama’s DOJ Demands More Prison Time for Ranchers; Protesters Seize Wildlife Refuge Headquarters."

Here's the DOJ's press release from October, "Eastern Oregon Ranchers Convicted of Arson Resentenced to Five Years in Prison."
