Breaking Oregon Militia Occupies Federal Building

Does anyone know what these knuckleheads want?

I think it is unreasonable for them to expect the government to release the Hammonds. They seemed to have been given a fair trial (for both the 2001 and 2006 arson events) and it was reviewed by the court of appeals.

So what do they hope to accomplish?

How do they think this will end?

Despite repeated publications that the Hammonds were convicted under an anti-terrorism law, they were, in fact convicted under18 U.S.C. § 844(f)(1)

Subsection f was amended under an anti-terriorism law to add the minimum 5 year sentence. But amended by does not equate to convicted under.

Of course parties sympathetic to the Hammond case and or unsympathetic to the government would never deliberately miss-cite the law in order to get people emotionally spun up. That would be wrong.
