Ranchers
Lighting backfires being stupid: maybe so. Certainly not legal although research has proven not allowing natural fires to burn out underbrush is counterproductive and against how nature works. But a larger, cohesive movement should have addressed that through legal channels. Not lonewolf citizens lighting fires on their own.
Having said that, prodecuting ranchers under an aanti-terrorism law is unjust. Anti-terrorism laws are meant to prosecute terrorists. Not ranchers who arent mounting armed terror campaigns, or elementary school kids for throwing rocks through windows.
I don't know these ranchers nor do I have a horse in the race, but it seems to me sending them back to prison is unjust inn the sense that the crimes tthey commited weren't terrorism, and possibly double jeopardy as they've already served their sentence -
