4. Blue tarp blues

5. And it pays to be white. I think that was the big message America heard.

Just imagine if those asshats weren't white. Of course, you can't. They'd be dead in an hour.

6. Maybe Cliven will gain a whole new insight into "The Negro" when he's in prison.

7. "Overthrowing" national sovereignty is

far safer than stealing a car, no doubt both before and after arrest.

11. But they did steal cars too.

They used many of the vehicles on the refuge without permission. I believe that's called stealing.

8. I'm tired of the 'they got a pass because they're white' thing. Waco, Ruby Ridge et al.

Skin color made no difference in this situation, which was a collaborative effort by (far too many for the 'cause') many different agencies.

Cops killing people of color is one-on-one or rogue collectives in small bunches. End of story. There is no grand governmental law enforcement agency conspiracy intent on covertly killing people of color.

The massive fubars at Ruby Ridge and Waco were hard, hard lessons and the result of what was learned from those situations was the outcome at Malheur. No one died who didn't want to.

Ain't no nasty, nutty white boy going to be blowing up a Federal building because of Malheur, either.

However, I'm sincerely hoping that allllllll the Bundy land will be siezed by the government due to his back taxes and fines, and turned into a wildlife sactuary forever. No cows allowed.

So, no offense intended, I just wanted to tidy that all up a bit.

9. The people who didn't want to die at Waco weren't killed by the feds

5 died initially who engaged in a gunfight with federal agents. The rest either died from the fire set by the Branch Davidians or were shot by them. There were no "hard lessons". Numerous investigations clears the feds of any wrongdoing and the Branch Davidians' lawsuit failed miserably. Anything suggesting the contrary is a far right wing lie.

You're right on this Major
