We all rely on the media every day to know what’s going on in our world. Many media sources these days have an opinion informing the content they provide, but the majority usually try to avoid outright lying about things. That doesn’t seem to be the case in what’s happening right now in Oregon.
There is an ongoing armed insurrectionist seizure of a federal building happening at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge HQ in Oregon. Depending on what news source you rely on for your “facts”, you might be unaware of the reality of the situation.
To bring you up to speed: Dwight Hammond, 73, and Steven Hammond, 46, lit fires in an attempt to protect some of their property from invasive plant species. They ended up burning federal land — twice. Their actions netted them an eventual conviction for arson, which they served time for. After they were released, their sentences from a previous judge were found to be illegal — due to them being too short for the minimum sentencing requirements — and they were sent back to jail for longer sentences. The second conviction is what set off the protests, and caused Cliven Bundy’s idiot militia to take up arms. To be fair, the Hammonds never asked anybody for help, especially not the Bundys.
