Well, now it is clear why the Sheriff is on the side of the Feds - He used to be one:

Sheriff David Ward formerly worked for the Federal Bureau of Land Management and appears to have actually been a witness against the Hammond family in the ridiculous federal terrorism trial back in 2012.

Obviously, now that “Rangeland Specialist” Dave Ward is now Sheriff Dave Ward, he would not want the larger public to understand his complicity in the prosecution of the Hammond family. Nor would he have any motive or intent to protect Dwight or Steven Hammond from the appealed second set of sentences which were demanded by activist U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall.

Small town corruption.

Mmm...may be why he made the public statement that the occupiers do not represent the community.

Interesting to hear about his checkered past.

I've seen some posts where the community doesn't seem too happy with the armed occupied force either. I'm not supporting one side or the other, simply because I don't know enough about the entirety of the situation. I just hope it all ends peacefully.

I'm the same way, don't know enough. I know that I'm no fan of the BLM "managing" so much land out here in the west.

That's interesting.

The original sentencing for the Hammonds would have reflected any influence. That sentence was served, case should have been closed. It wasn't the Sheriff who pulled the Hammonds back into court demanding more time. Of course, one never knows what conversations were had.

At any rate, what is being done to the Hammonds is criminal. The rest of us better think long and hard about how "ranchers" who literally put food on our tables are being treated. I like steak. I like hard working people being able to keep their pay/land. So what is BLM's mission in the radical transformation?

Lighten up Badger, that's freaking hilarious!

Oh I'm light. Just wanted to give Irving a facepalm for that painful (but clever) pun. I like puns.

And because it seems to be gone with the first version of this thread, I want to reiterate how concerned I am that thousands of Americans are openly advocating the murder of these people. And they are all too happy to ask their jack-booted thugs Friendly-Government-with-their-best-interests-at-heart to do it for them.
