This is how you protest with guns—unloaded, with no threats on others’ lives, and with government officials continuing their business. That’s the difference, not their race or political orientation.

So you can threaten violence, be prepared for it but as long as you don't the opprotunity to finally pull the trigger it's ok? I guess we have reached the "I'm not touching you" defense to real threats.

This is a dumb protest, but unlike the MNWR occupation it was 1) actually a protest and 2) non‐violent You may note that no one was tried in connection with it, acquitted or otherwise.

And to take your analogy further, the guys who show up with rifles and such, camp out on the lawn for a month then peacefully surrender to the authorities without injuring or wounding anyone. Yes, I would call it nonviolent

Like people taking up arms against the state? Come on dude. Who did the federal government steal land from in this situation? The impetus for the first Bundy insurrection was Cliven Bundy's refusal to pay grazing fees on federal land. Any landowner would demand grazing fees from a neighbor in exchange for use of his land. It was unclaimed land when the US Army arrived in the 19th century and it has remained in the federal government's custody since that point. Periodically the federal government grants tracts of land to buyers for a price. The one party that could make a claim that their land was stolen are native americans - there were none involved in this event. Taking my analogy even further, it is no different than me showing up at your house with a loaded rifle, camping out there, refusing to let you inside, telling you I'll waste you if you set foot inside, and then leaving at the end of the month when the cops show up.

it's not their land, it's federal land, that the feds lease out, at extremely favorable rates, that's the way it's always been like this is a literal land-grab from public property

the entire point of the takeover was to protest the sentence of some jackasses who poached deer ilegally out of season and then set fire to a shitload of federal land to hide the evidence of their poaching, during fuckin fire season like there is no defense of this takeover from any angle, ignoring their idiotic actions the entire fuckin reason for this poo poo was completely retarded to begin with

Baloogan posted:i will answer literally everything! what haven't i answered so far Cliven Bundy refused to pay the under-market grazing fees that the federal government asked for, because he does not believe the federal government is legitimate. Here are the questions you have not answered: Is it nonviolent for me to point a loaded gun in your face? Is the criterion for force someone actually dying? Are you OK with threats backed by firearms if they don't result in death when the targeted party complies? If I came to your house and put a gun in your face and said "give me everything valuable in your home or you're dead" would you consider that a peaceful exchange? a/s/l?

i mean any defense of the occupation is immediately undermined by the fact that it was to protest two dudes who did super illegal poo poo and cost a ton of money to the state to put the fires out, endangeroing the lives of firefighters and anyone who lived anywhere nearby who could have been affected by the fires. starting fires intentionally in fire season in this state is straight-up one of the most fuckin lovely things you can do for a whole slew of reasons, protesting the sentences of the fucks who did it immediately destroys any sense of legitimacy of their cause.
