Perhaps this is why people are angry ...

4. But in all fairness ...

Miller and his GF WERE kicked out of the Bundy compound!

[hootinholler]

10. Holy Fuck Me Harder!

I totally missed that tidbit.

[daleanime]

5. K&R....

[butterfly77]

6. Partly..

7. Funny which posters totally ignore these threads.

Gee I wonder why?

[malaise]

25. Don't wonder

[Android3.14]

8. Ain't that the truth

Fricken' bigoted cowardly hypocrites.

11. The Bundy clan and "open carry" folks will respond by saying

that because they were carrying weapons, it's why the government thugs/cops didn't attack & shoot them like the unarmed kids in Ferguson.

While that is crazy, that will be the response.

[MisterP]

13. it's almost like the people who always suggest that are trying to escalate every incident

to sell more weapons, further escalating everything and selling even more to both sides of every conflict!

[NewJeffCT]

16. what do you mean "almost like"

I'm sure part of it is so everybody will have guns and the gun makers will be even richer.

[kmlisle]

17. Exactly! the true secret mission of the NRA

[Blanks]

28. I don't think that word (almost) means what you think it means... eom

[lovemydog]

12. One of many legitimate reasons.

[rustydog]

14. Again, White Privilige versus racial profiling

leave the angry crowd of white people brandishing firearms, stopping AMERICAN civilians in their vehicles....How was this volatile situation solved...police left, the Rancher was allowed to continue his illegal activity unabated.
The unarmed black kid was shot in the top of his head as he tried to surrender...

[redqueen]

15. K&R nt

[blackspade]

18. And justifiably so.

I'm a white guy and I'm pissed.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

19. + one zillion mega plusses.

Sick of the white male supremacy

[Cha]

20. FYI Zizi is a prolific and eloquent poster at The Obama Diary.com

thanks for this Tweet exchange between her and Steve Marmel, Scuba

[blkmusclmachine]

21. We The People HAVE to put a <<STOP>> to this Police Brutality. The Cops can't do it. The Politicians

won't do it (unless it's Occupy Wall Street).

Remember, it's the Politicians who equipped the Police Force as the Military on Foreign Soil.

We can lie down, roll over, and surrender. Or fight back.

This is War.

The 99% against the 1% and their hired thugs.

So WE surrender, or do WE win???

[maddiemom]

24. Good Point: Right now it's more like the 1% versus the 99%. Heavily militarizing our police

forces and the states' being able to call in the National Guard are just ways to get around Posse Comitatus, now that growing income inequality is becoming more and more of an issue.

[Enthusiast]

22. Kicked and recommended!

Thanks, Scuba.

[IronLionZion]

23. The Las Vegas folks addressed this issue

and concluded that this is why everyone should always open carry big scary assault rifles, to protect themselves from police brutality. They wrote extensively about what was done to the unarmed occupy wall st protestors vs nothing happened to armed bundy ranch protestors.

But all of their ramblings straight up ignored their white privilege. People of color have always gotten shot dead whether they are armed or not, just in case. Just look at the Aurora Colorado theater asshole who is still alive.

26. rec 150

This is beautiful. thanks!
