1. Good coverage!

2. White privilege explained in a rational, logical manner.

When the feds use force, white compounds go up in smoke and public support for the fed action drops. Also, terrorists like Timothy McVeigh may retaliate by bombing federal buildings.

Therefore, the course of action when white terrorists are involved is to wait it out to reduce the casualty of life.


What I am reading from that is that we need to increase the public outrage over police action against PoC to get the same civil response from the authorities.

3. There was no stand off at the Bundy ranch.

They just let Bundy win...and as predicted they think they can do it again.
