Thoughts on Ferguson

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

7. I understood what shallwechat is saying 100%. I'm baffled as to why you don't.

Two scenarios:

In Nevada, white supporters of Cliven Bundy, a man who was illegally grazing his cattle on federal lands, pointed guns at federal officers, even shooting guns at police officers; warning them that they will kill these officers of the law. None of them were killed. The media treated these protestors like they were fighting for some noble "constitutional" cause. The narrative was that they had the right to bear their AK-47 rifles, point them at government officials--even though what Mr. Bundy was doing was clearly illegal! He was essentially stealing federal land! He hadn't paid taxes on that land for over 20 years! Then, he had the audacity to drive around in poor neighborhoods and castigate the black and Hispanic people there for being poor and on government. Again, this man was *ILLEGALLY* grazing on *FEDERAL* lands--not paying taxes on that land.

The other scenario is Ferguson. Unarmed black and brown people gather in peaceful demonstration and they are treated like animals by the police.

See the difference??
