Just a brief post to note how those who cry about overreach of government and law enforcement when it involves black protesters can't seem to keep it in their pants when it comes to federal law enforcement shooting white guys. White guys who were not looting or burning people out of house and home, but were "occupying" a large plot of desolate land that no one who is hooting and hollering in happiness over the shooting really gives two shits about.
There was really no reason for this encounter to happen - except for a law-and-order, "I am in charge you redneck morons" mentality that needed to show force. There was no danger here and left alone, these folks would have squatted to no great effect. What happened to the idea, in places like Baltimore, of "Letting the protesters have their space, get out their grievances"?
There just can't seem to be one set of rules that everyone lives by; certain lives have to matter, certain rights have to take precedence.
One has to wonder how the reaction would be different if they were native Americans or the POTUS was white. How much celebration there would be if FBI lives had been lost (then there would have been drone strikes on the "militants" - listen to media with a cynical ear to hear how subtle words are used).
What I find most interesting is that the social justice ghouls who decry gun violence at every turn, anthropomorphize firearms, and want to disarm civilians, are engaging in ghoulish lip-licking in favor of more guns in the hands of government being used against Americans. I would say fellow citizens, but that is a concept lost on them.
Cop killing Michael Browne in Ferguson? Outrage! Cop killing Tamir Rice? Outrage. Cop killing any armed African-American? Outrage ("He was a good boy!"). Militarization of LE? Outrage! No body camera available - then the LEO was lying. Flash forward to Oregon - Of course SJ Ghouls believe every word of the FBI report - Militia/militants (media terms) are evil and deserve to be killed if they step out of line - and no one gives two shits that the FBI killed someone.
Wrong is not wrong and rights are not rights.
Shit just keeps sliding down hill.
