这个民兵暴动,我觉得纯粹是某些人趁机拉知名度。 不过这个案子的引发事端处理得非常有问题。相关报道我看了,是因为当地有两个农民 (父子俩)他们的地和联邦的保护区是连在一起的。在2006年,保护区里面因为雷电而 引发了野火。为了防止野火延蔓到他们自己的地里,他们在他们自己的地上烧了一把 back fire, 小部分的烧到了保护区的地带,但是他们自己把火扑灭了。再加上当时保 护区里的野火本来就是往那个方向烧的,所以他们自己觉得没有什么问题。 但是。。。问题就出来了。因为他们烧的火延蔓到了保护区里面,按照美国的法律,就 算烧了一寸也是烧了。于是,他们就被警长请去喝咖啡了(真的就是用喝咖啡的名义叫 过去的)。后来经过几年的反复波折之后,他们被按照故意纵火罪来治罪,而且被罚了 40万。在父子分别坐了3个月和一年的监狱后被释放了。大家都松了一口气,以为这个 事情就这么完了。。。 但是,这个事情没有完。 在这父子俩都已经被释放之后,联邦进行了介入,说原来的宣判太轻了,要求把他们按 照一个反恐的法律来宣判,把他们当成恐怖分子来宣判,最低刑期必须至少5年。我看 新闻的时候看到这个下巴都掉下来了。我都不知道美国这里还能追溯刑期,还能把已经 释放的犯人抓回来重新判的。然后这对父子都是老实人,就老老实实的回到监狱报到了 。但是这事让当地的人不乐意了。因为这对父子在当地人缘特别好,名声非常好的。当 地人都觉得联邦是柿子调软的捏,于是就闹起来了,去当地政府请愿,但是政府不理睬。 然后,另外一个州的红脖子民兵就介入了。那个民兵队在一两年前为了另外一个案子闹 得很厉害的。他们的那个头看到了这个案子,觉得是天赐良机,于是就拉了一大堆人去 那里攻打了那个保护区的办公室。但是那两父子以及当地人都不愿意那些人介入,觉 得他们会把事情弄得太复杂。 (j) In 2006 a massive lightning storm started multiple fires that joined together inflaming the countryside. To prevent the fire from destroying their winter range and possibly their home, Steven Hammond (Son) started a backfire on their private property. The backfire was successful in putting out the lightning fires that had covered thousands of acres within a short period of time. The backfire saved much of the range and vegetation needed to feed the cattle through the winter. Steven’s mother, Susan Hammond said: “The backfire worked perfectly, it put out the fire, saved the range and possibly our home”. (j1) The next day federal agents went to the Harney County Sheriff’s office and filled a police report making accusation against Dwight and Steven Hammond for starting the backfire. A few days after the backfire a Range-Con from the Burns District BLM office asked Steven if he would meet him in town (Frenchglen) for coffee. Steven accepted. When leaving he was arrested by the Harney County Sheriff Dave Glerup and BLM Ranger Orr. Sheriff Glerup then ordered him to go to the ranch and bring back his father. Both Dwight and Steven were booked and on multiple Oregon State charges.
这爷俩估计真干了点不应该干的,不然咋这么老实 The Hammonds, who turned themselves in as planned on Monday at a federal prison in California, have said they do not support the protesters or their leader

你说的那个疑似杀鹿后毁灭证据的放火是在2001年,那次他们的确蔓延到了127公顷的 国家保留地(当然后来是他们自己扑灭的)。但是那次事故经过调查之后因为缺乏证据 而不了了之。而且他们在放火之前通知了当局,申请理由是prescribed fire,那个是 当地人常用的常规维护土地的方式。 让他们被逮捕的事情发生在2006,两件事情其实是不同的。不管他们在2001年到底是怎 么回事,按照美国的法律不应该用来为2006的事情来作理由。在2006年这次事情,他们 在放火之前事先通知了有关机构,而且他们很小心的没有让火蔓延出去很多,而且自己 把火扑灭了,最后总共只烧到了一公顷的保留地,相对于他们自己所拥有的土地(6000 公顷),只烧出去1公顷所以的确算是“小部分”。 http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/01/oregon-mand It was reported by Bureau of Land Management firefighters in the area, and the Justice Department notes that they “took steps to ensure their safety. ” It burned about an acre of public land, causing less than $1,000 in damage.
你把那个关于2001年放火的报道也贴一下吧 司法部网站是这么说的 The jury convicted both of the Hammonds of using fire to destroy federal property for a 2001 arson known as the Hardie-Hammond Fire, located in the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Area. Witnesses at trial, including a relative of the Hammonds, testified the arson occurred shortly after Steven Hammond and his hunting party illegally slaughtered several deer on BLM property. Jurors were told that Steven Hammond handed out “Strike Anywhere” matches with instructions that they be lit and dropped on the ground because they were going to “light up the whole country on fire.” One witness testified that he barely escaped the eight to ten foot high flames caused by the arson. The fire consumed 139 acres of public land and destroyed all evidence of the game violations. After committing the arson, Steven Hammond called the BLM office in Burns, Oregon and claimed the fire was started on Hammond property to burn off invasive species and had inadvertently burned onto public lands. Dwight and Steven Hammond told one of their relatives to keep his mouth shut and that nobody needed to know about the fire.
