Ammon Bundy is a ranch man who came to Oregon to help the Hammond family spread the word about the Federal government reclaiming lands for public use. They took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
One side wants Ammon Bundy to go. The other side are ranchers and families who have watched this same situation play out year after year. The Hammond's are just one stubborn family who didn't want to sell out. Unfortunately, people do not protest like they once did.
And what about a rouge rancher whose voice the Federal government has grown tired of hearing? They will just wait him out. Cut off all electricity, ask the Oregon press to cut off publication since no other news agency seems to care. And the town businesses may even have decided to cut off sales of any food or drink to any body affiliated with Ammon Bundy.
Out of town, out of luck. When the big guns tell the world to stop helping you, they do. We are a society of haters, who do not care about ranchers loosing their lands. Because once reclaimed by our government; our main stream society can go play on land that was once these ranchers homes. We huntsmen of the forest, we hikers, we bikers, we families with kids, bird watchers and all. We never shed a tear for the loss of someone's land, or home. We have become numb.
Cut off - Ammon Bundy's last stand?
