I got called out by my liberal CBP Agent buddy. He's still butt hurt over my support of the Bundy Ranch folks. He thinks it's inconsistent to support resistance against the authorities in Bundy, but support the police in Ferguson. Said it was all about the race of the protesters.
My answer is that Bundy Ranch was about resistance to a over-reaching Federal Government and Ferguson is about supporting the actions of an individual officer. What say you?

The Fergudishu protestors are actually demanding , not resisting, an overreach of the Federal government.
|

I don't recall stories of anyone at the Bundy ranch setting anything on fire (well, maybe a grill) or looting anything.
|
|
It's as different as Black and White. Wait... That didn't sound right.
|

Bundy involved the Fed. Govt. attempt to dispossess a rancher of access to land and the seizure of his chattel (in this case cattle). This was done on behalf of a foreign interest (China) that wanted to open a solar farm.
Ferguson involves the mis-perception of injustice in the use of deadly force by a police officer against a member of the Dindu Tribe. In this case, it was a white officer. |

|
I could easily tell you the difference but I'm enjoying my time here.

Did Bundy assault a LEO and then try to take his gun?
Had Bundy just commit a robbery? Yeah, they are the same. |
|

Let's compare the number of private businesses destroyed or robbed by the protesters in question.
No matter what your mission is, if your methods are immoral and criminal, I can't support that. Take Occupy Wall Street, for another example. While they may have had a legitimate complaint initially, once they started breaking store windows, looting, and shitting on cop cars, sorry, there goes your legitimacy. Show me the last Tea Party rally/march/event where there was looting. Oh, wait... |

In Ferguson the "protesters" are exercising their inalienable constitution right to loot, burn, commit robbery, assault people, and to display other bestial behaviors that not even the likes of CNN could hide.
https://tv.yahoo.com/news/cnn-reporter-gets-hit-rock-live-tv-ferguson-063738495.html No comparison to the events at Bundy or anything else is warranted. |

Anyone who would compare the two has the same mentality as the people who compare abortion with the death penalty.

I would guess that the ferguson conflict has more in common with the occupy wallstreet movement.
Why I guess that there is more in common is the instigators and support element are the same people. Just a hunch I have. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I don't see a connection to the Bundy ranch but I do find it interesting that so many here were so upset about Erik Scott getting shot in Costco but no one seems to care about the life of Michael Brown.

Please inform your friend that IMHO I am afraid to say he is a stupid dumbfuck.

Bundy ranch people were all talk and the ferguson rioters have follow through?

one is standing against out of control federal oppression and corruption.
the other is about supporting a man that was actually protecting and serving his community. not surprising a liberal idiot can't understand the difference. |

Ferg is a bunch of 80 IQ fucking idiots with zero valid reasons to protest/riot.
Only a dumbfucker would think the two have anything in common other than a gathering of people. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Private Property Rights vs theft/assault that resulted in a fatal shooting.

Bundy ranch supporters shot at cops, killed their own, burned half the town down, looted, and rioted?
This isn't apples to organges. This is apples to watermelons. |

The Bundy supporters didn't burn down his ranch to spite The Feds. |
