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.

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.

Did Bundy assault a LEO and then try to take his gun?

Had Bundy just commit a robbery?



Yeah, they are the same.

Nor do I remember any store being robbed by the "victim" right before the shooting.

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.

No comparison to the events at Bundy or anything else is warranted.

This. Two totally different issues at play.

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.

Well, both abortion and the death penalty legally take a human life, so their is some comparison.  Unfortunately the one that gets used the most kills an innocent

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.

That's the oddest thing; they HATE their local Government, but say they trust the Feds....

Hell, if they didn't STEAL from stores and get caught on video, they could get a job with either one...

I don't follow you. Scott committed a crime and then pointed a gun at LEOs. He died too.

Maybe because Erik Scott never punched anyone, never tried to take any police weapons from their control, never strong arm robbed a shopkeeper, never charged the police officers?

Nah, must be because we're all a bunch of black-man hating racists.

This, Both Scott and Brown made bad decisions and then paid the price for their actions. Neither should be seen as a role model or victim.

The officers say different. Why do you believe the officers in the Brown case but not the Scott case?

A West Point grad allegedly acting totally out of character tends to get an initial benefit of the doubt whereas a career thug thugging, doesn't.
