Quote:Look at the situation from this point of view.


The protesters were defending a rancher from un-reasonable seizure/destruction of his property. They were not violating any laws, nor were they being destructive to private and/or public property. They were also in no way acting aggressively towards any law enforcement.


Next look at the occupy protesters. They were violating city ordinances, littering, defecating and destroying public property, and were being disruptive.


Next look at what happened in Ferguson. A black felon gets killed by a white police officer legally, and people start to riot. They were looting, destroying public and private property and being very hostile towards law enforcement.


My point is, you seem to be looking at it and perceiving it from a racial "black vs. white" point of view rather than looking at the actions and demeanor of the people involved. Take race out of it all together and just look at the actions (reality).

No, I see where you're coming from... there are different facts that can be viewed from different perspectives... and I can concede that.


However, my point boils down to this one thing, certain protesters are treated better than others. Again, if a black dude, or Muslim in a turbin, or a deadlocked hippy with adv occupy shirt on was crouched down looking through a scope of an AR, I think reactions would be different... But that's just my perspective.
