ELF tearing down a fence is considered terrorism and members of ELF are prosecuted as terrorists.

[MohRokTah]

Armed white rightwing terrorists tear down a fence and the feds shrug.

1. does this really surprise anyone?

[99th_Monkey]

4. Surprise? No. Outrage? Yes. Coddling terrorists because they're RW white supremacists sucks. nt

[atreides1]

2. Of course

Remember, this is still the Rich and white government! Just because we currently have a black president doesn't change reality!

Until people of color are willing to fight for their rights as US citizens, the whites in charge will do everything in their power to take away what people like Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Medgar Evers...gave up so much for!

3. Or nuns protesting nuclear weapons...

This 85-Year-Old Nun Just Spent Two Years In Prison For Protesting Nuclear Weapons

BY ALICE OLLSTEIN MAY 22, 2015 10:53 AM

ROSEMONT, PENNSYLVANIA–Two white-haired nuns stepped forward and embraced each other tightly. One has been living in a convent in a quiet Philadephia suburb. The other has spent the last two years in federal prison, charged with sabotage, trespassing, and destroying government property as part of a peaceful protest in Oak Ridge, Tennessee against the U.S.’ arsenal of nuclear weapons.
“Welcome out,” said Sister Margaret Doyle, beaming at the newly-freed 85-year-old activist Megan Rice.

Just days before, Rice was dozing in her cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, when she heard the BBC Radio report that the most serious charge against her and her two fellow activists was overturned, and a federal appeals court ordered their immediate release.

5. A large entrenched portion of our government

supports and protects these rightwing thugs.

[KingCharlemagne]

6. Reminiscent of Weimar, where the constabulary in smaller cities turned

a blind eye to outrages perpetrated by the Brownshirts while hammering trade unionists, Socialists and Communists any time they met in public.

All coming together now with the candidacy of Trump.

Color me moderately concerned.

7. Equality before the Law

Well as a pissed off Oregon resident I just wrote my Congressman and Senators and asked why these armed domestic terrorists are allowed to vandalize federal property, arbitrarily restrict access to public lands and apparently engage in cyber-crime without retribution. I said if I pointed a gun at a Federal officer the best I could hope for is arrest.

Yeah it looks like the Bundys have the fix in. Their dad hasn't paid his bill yet either.

8. The secret is they dress-up like soldiers and swat and carry weapons like them. It is hard

for the authorities to do anything when the enemy looks and talks like yourself. Remember that most of the Justice Dept now was hired by Reagan, Bush and Bush. There are very few non-right wing people in it.

[Fast Walker 52]

9. yes, it's really outrageous every day these yokels are left alone

And more outrageous is that if they were less white, they would have been attacked long time back.

10. Good point. It's BS. n/t
