If the shoe was on the other foot

I'll be the first to admit that the bozos who have taken over a Federal Wildlife Preserve building in Oregon aren't exactly Patrick Henry and Nathan Hale--hell, they're not even Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.  Nonetheless, the facts are that the men they have stormed the building in support of have been convicted of arson, done to hide illegal hunting evidence, that the men occupying the building have taken it by force and are carrying dangerous weapons, and that they have threatened to kill anyone who should try to stop them.

Do you think for one moment the kid glove response toward this militia by the government, law enforcement, and republican Presidential candidates would have been the same had the Black Lives Matter movement used the same tactics in response to the Michael Brown murder, the Eric Garner murder, the Tamir Rice murder, or the Freddie Gray murder?

What the response does, though, is thoroughly validate the Black Lives Matter movement--their beliefs that their lives don't matter to far too many Americans are very real indeed.
