Oregon actions demand ‘Free Hammonds,’ open land use

...."This is a good example of why we need land reform in the U.S., especially for poor farmers," Willie Head, an African-American farmer in Pavo, Georgia, involved in struggles to defend working farmers and their land, told the Militant. "What really bothers me is that the son and father were convicted of arson and given a sentence, and then the federal court of appeals judge decided it wasn't enough and increased it. That's a dangerous precedent."

  1. Of course, The Militant is motivated less by the needs of the class strugge than a desire to spite the "petty-bourgeois left." I do agree with them that liberals are wrong to call these knuckleheads "terrorists," and I'm glad law enforcement are showing restraint. But man! The whole idea of "communists" supporting opening up public lands to unrestained exploitation by mining, energy and big ranching interests (and that's what this is all about) is just mind-boggling!
