What the Bundy Bunkerville standoff foreshadowed - High Country News

Ten years after the impasse between the Bundy family and the BLM, the doctrine of white oppression is widely embraced.

> The Bundy standoff in 2014 forecasted the doctrine of white oppression ... and demonstrated that if you're a white man, even egregious and defiant lawbreaking often has no consequences.

I can't believe it's been ten years! I thought at the time not prosecuting as many of the armed participants as possible (after the fact, of course) was a mistake by the federal government. Easy for me to say a 2,500 miles away. Interested to read your take.

Not sure what the takeaway is here other than "guns get results" and "try your best to be rich and white if you're gonna fight cops" but man that quote sure is something huh?
