So it is okay to loot and vandalize a USFWS post, if you are the right skin color?

Wait wait wait...I thought trespassing, looting and vandalizing were big NO NOs...oh right...these guys are all white conservative NRA types.

Two different standards on display.

Apparently they have accessed the computers in that building they have seized using pilfered credentials.

set of federal criminal acts. Those computers have ID cards that include the SS# of the person it is issued to who is a federal employee so there are a host of criminal charges attached to that whole mess.

10. How can you say that with such certainty?

It's almost as likely that at least some of them would have simply been beaten to within an inch of their lives, or the gunshots wouldn't have proved fatal. And those who survived would have just been locked up for most of their lives, and/or lost many of their rights as citizens if they were ever released.

So it is quite conceivable that they wouldn't have literally been buried by now...
