Beating federal charges is as rare as getting hit by lightning twice on the same day for a year straight.

This is pretty amazing.

There is a considerable difference between what the Bundy's did and what BLM does, and if you cannot see it you need help.

The Bundy's took over a federal building, that was abandoned, and did not destroy anything nor try to hurt anybody, BLM is destroying neighborhoods and they are supporting people who are murderers and calling for more murder.

If the BLM would have peacefully walked down the street protesting, if they were not going out of their way to call for murder, if they were not blaming all cops, and did not have such a racist tone to it, I would be fine with them protesting.

No it wasn't. It was unoccupied at the time. They same as many buildings in National Forests and Parks.

Breaking into a building is not something one would describe as "peaceful". I find the world a sad place with hypocritical views that you and others espouse.

What did they destroy? Who have they tried to terrorize? Talk about hypocritical, if you cannot see the difference between entering and empty building and having a sit in or having a riot and tearing neighborhoods apart than you need to look in the mirror.

They were acquitted, that means they were not guilty.

For people portraying the likes of the Bundy's as 'peace loving folk' being unfairly 'persecuted' by our draconian government, perhaps a bit of clarification of this revisionist viewpoint is needed:

Cliven Bundy and the BLM Showdown - a Case of Double Standards, Hypocrisy, and Bad Media Coverage

Quote:
Cliven Bundy is the Nevada cattle rancher who since 1991 has been illegally grazing his cattle on federal protected lands. Despite fines totaling some one million dollars, and not paying these fines, Mr. Bundy has defied federal orders since 1993. When the BLM arrived at the location where his cattle were grazing, armed militiamen who supported Mr. Bundy confronted them. Some of these armed men took up sniper positions along the adjacent highway with their rifles aimed at BLM agents. Their armed presence and the risk of creating a volatile situation forced the BLM and the local sheriff to stand down.
Fox News Attacks Black Lives Matter As

Quote:
At the height of Fox News’ Bundy frenzy and irresponsibility (like when Hannity wondered on-air if the federal government would kill the rancher), conservative media couldn’t stop fanning fears about "government overreach" in the Age of Obama.

The Drudge Report recklessly hyped the possibility of a violent confrontation with the anti-government militia members, and Bundy himself threatened a “Range War” against the government, claiming his son was a “political prisoner.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center later reported, “The standoff between federal agents and armed supporters of a Nevada rancher earlier this year was a highly coordinated effort by far-right militiamen.” The group noted the Bundy confrontation “was seen as a victory within the antigovernment ‘Patriot’ movement after federal agents pulled out despite Bundy owing more than $1 million in grazing fees and fines to the federal government.”

Make no mistake, the Bundy stand-off was aggressively anti-law enforcement. “Militia snipers lined the hilltops and overpasses with scopes trained on federal agents,” SPLC noted. During one confrontation, protesters taunted federal agents with insults, denouncing various officers as a "terrorist," "loser," "chicken****," and a "****ing *****.
Conservative Hypocrisy: Bundy Ranch Versus Ferguson Protest Media Coverage

‘Oregon Under Attack’ Hypocrisy: White Men With Guns Called ‘Peaceful’ Compared To Black ‘Thug’ Protesters In Ferguson



Like I inferred, people of color such as Native Americans fighting for water and other rights for their land, send in the law and jail these hoodlums by any means necessary. White people breaking the law and threatening to ambush and shoot any agents that rightfully come to arrest them, they are 'heroes.'
