Not that others haven't. But it is enraging and every POC on that page said they would have been shot dead within the first hour of the takeover. Black, brown, Muslim, or anyone else. The FBI may have collected some great data on these guys by waiting, but now all the yahoos with guns think that the Feds are scared of them. Why that perimeter was not secured from the beginning and the wiretapping and monitoring happening right then, is beyond my comprehension. Except we know about institutionalized racism...and that somehow explains this madness that was allowed to happen this month.
