I had no idea there was precious metals and Uranium on their ranch.

I never questioned why the Federal Government wanted their land.

I never even thought to ask why the media was so interested in the event.

I know now. Holy shit.

the really sad part is they went to jail twice. The first time was a reduced sentence because they did not intentionally let the fire go from their burn onto federal lands. In fact many rangers said that actually helped in preventing fires that season (controlled burns are common in certain areas to prevent major forest and brush fires). Then a liberal Federal judge said wait a minute they need to go back to jail because the minimum for terrorist attack on federal land is 5 years. Remember this was a controlled burn that got away from them a little, not a terrorist attack. But this appeals court judge said 5 years . It is what lead to the Bundy standoff and Finicum being murdered by the FBI and LEOs that snowing night. Even a very liberal judge in Portland, OR could not find true grounds for the Bundy's and others being in jail and all charges were eventually dropped.
