beatlegs posted:Any thoughts on why the KKK seems to feel so comfortable coming out of the shadows recently? Have you seen the republican party lately? I can't imagine what about a nativist xenophobic organization which derives its power from focusing on the influence of a specific racial group would appeal to the KKK.

Someone post that Bors "Open Carry? No--Open POINTING is where its at!" comic. Plus, if I saw some redneck with an AR walking towards my car "Oh hey, a reasonable human being who merely wants to offer some literature" would not be the first thing on my mind. I guess that makes me an unamerican Bad Person.

So on a scale from "awkward open carry BBQ" to full on "Lord of the Flies," where is the Nevada ranch situation sitting now?

more friedman units posted:The cops have plenty of time, I'd think the big concern is the hotheads working themselves up into shooting first. Attacking journalists and ordering the sheriff to seize federal weapons and "report back" doesn't sound like they're calming down. That was done right when the BLM was backing down, if I'm recalling this correctly. Bundy was riding high and figured he could issue some more demands while he had the guns and numbers. Not sure if he really believed it would work or not--he was probably showboating.

Amergin posted:The difference was these were armed protesters regarding a popular issue in the media at the moment in an election year with a partisan mood and the shooting of a bunch of cattle ranchers (who, left- or right-wing, are deified by many Americans to the point of giving the military a run for their money) would not look good for government PR. Quick, name a rightwing protest that was broken up by riot police/tear gas. Bonus points if you can name one with a sexual assault by said police.

It was a public safety issue. Pretzels are stone-cold killers.
