I absolutely think the Hammonds have been wronged by the federal government. Whether they intentionally or accidentally lit the fire that has led to their charges and imprisonment, biblically, they should only have to pay restitution for the damage they caused. Furthermore, I agree that the government ought not own vast swaths of land.

What puzzles me about the protest and the takeover of the federal building is that they are all waving the American flag. This is the flag of the government that is oppressing them, stealing from them and treating them wickedly. Why wave the flag of an evil entity at all?
