re: #4 Backwoods_Sleuth

From the article:

Harney County Judge Steve Grasty said he’s highly sympathetic to the Hammonds and believes their sentence was too severe. But militia groups’ anger at county officials over a federal prosecution is misplaced.

“It doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t know why we’re suddenly the bad guys,” he said.

Judge? You’re part of the government. These wingnuts hate the government; federal, state, county and municipal. To them you are Stalin reincarnated.

Yes, it is insane. That’s why it makes no sense.
