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?
