ABC says this is a "peaceful protest" presumably because they're white

CNN's law enforcement expert says that these guys aren't a threat because unlike black people and Muslims they don't loot things

Well, the Oregonian has promoted them from "protesters" to "militants" if that means anything.

There's an interview with Ammon Bundy in Jacobin of all things.

quote:

Millions who have never heard of your movement are now watching your actions, and some say you’re a racist. How would you respond to them, and how do you feel about the Black Lives Matter protests and the police reaction to them?

In today’s society if someone doesn’t have the same views as you they consider you racist. That’s just how I see it. I don’t know a lot about the Black Lives Matter movement but I know their initial protest involved lots of looting and violence towards businesses and innocent citizens which I do not agree with. I do agree with them standing up for what they believe in. I just think during their protest they were unorganized and not well-planned.
