Oregon Rep. Greg Walden, 2nd District, presented his frustrations to the U.S. House on Jan. 5, regarding blatant federal overreach and the mistreatment of ranchers in Harney County.
Walden said he doesn’t agree with “armed takeovers but points out that something is wrong if protesters are willing to die for their cause.
Walden said he personally knows the Hammond’s.
It is disheartening that so many on ATS of all places would side with the same federal government that they constantly rail against daily.
Now several have been arrested, and there is a thread up full of happy highfiving going on because the feds arrested them..... WTF?
Seriously?
This isn't the same ATS it was five years ago.
Everyone cheering on the federal government like a bunch of sheep in a community of what's suppose to be articulate and intelligence thinkers.

Its all mob mentality and government propaganda...what did you expect..............
I too, feel a fair amount of shame at the derisive demeaning comments....
ATS is just a slice....
Nothing you say matters I hate people who stand up for their rights and assemble peacefully and get killed by the Feds.

I agree. I am staring to believe that some of those poster have no idea why the militia are in Harney County and what their purpose is.
My G-d we are human beings and the idea of some of these posters on ATS wanting blood is really disturbing to me.

I know, right.
I guess this new generation of folks are taught not to question our government and perhaps taught you have no rights, or rights to stand up for yourself to corrupt government.
But I am clearly seeing a big problem with the mindset of some of these ill informed posters who are salivating for blood.

See, the bureaucracy wants to interpret the laws we write in ways they want, and in this case they were wrong, not once, but twice. Then, a couple of years ago, I learned that, despite the fact we created the first cow-free wilderness in the United States under this law, and said clearly in this law that it would be the responsibility of the government to put up fencing to keep the cows out, as part of the agreement, the Bureau of Land Management said: No, we are not going to follow that law. And they told the ranchers they had to build the fence.
What I find equally disturbing is that somehow, blindly jumping to "conspiracy!" and "false flag!" has apparently become the standard on ATS that some members measure "articulate and intelligence thinking" by.
