You liberals from the east side just don't get it. The fires were on BLM land, not a refuge. He started the fires because BLM was dragging their feet and not doing their jobs. He had AU's for the land and it needed to be burnt to support them. The poaching claims were made by a reporter, never entered into the legal case, and may very have just been slander.
The folks at the Oregon farm bureau and Oregon cattlemen's association agree it was BS sentence. I for one support America's ranchers and farmers.
Take a minute and read the pdf from the federal courts on the actual facts. Understand this remote desert were neighbors are miles apart. Burning is accepted management tool and a natural occurrence. Understand the government is not the solution, it's problem.
