Unexpected End to Bundy Oregon Standoff
« on: July 10, 2018, 11:16:39 AM »
Wow. I've either been asleep at the wheel, or this came out of the blue. I've heard no talk at all about this. I wonder who caught Trump's ear? Possibly his sons?

I'm not of fan of the Bundys and their antics, but the Hammonds didn't participate in the stupid standoff and seems to me they've been punished more than sufficiently.

Dwight has so far served about three years in prison and Steven has served about four years. They have also paid $400,000 to the United States to settle a related civil suit.
This was a fine pardon.

In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.
