and

 

you posted the thread yesterday

and the article in HERALD SUN  (Newscorp, Murdoch Press)

is less than an hour old so you couldn't have

seen it there. 

It still sounds like they have the same grievances

as the cattlemen in the High Country here.

 

They want the land back that was used by their families for generations.

 

So the cattlemen here, who rode their horses into Melbourne and disrupted

traffic in and around Parliament House were terrorists?

 

Long bow drawn

nope, the HERALD SUN  (Newscorp, Murdoch Press)

does not say there was another terrorist attack in the US. 


150 domestic terrorists take over a fed building. Can only assume there's wall-to-wall cable news coverage, right? Oh.

 

Can we please get 1 Muslim to join the right-wing terrorist militia in Oregon so our media can cover it?

 

News flash: If you take over a gov't bldg with guns and make a "goodbye" video, you are terrorists, not a "militia."

 

Let me see if I understand: USA spends billions to track terrorists. 150 of them tell you where they are & nothing?

 

These comments are all quoted- selectively one presumes - in that Sun Herald article - do you not think the paper might possibly have been trying to make  point? 

trying to make a point by publishing

the story in their 'law & order' section? 

 

hmm...maybe   Smiley Wink

If the cattlemen had armed themselves and occupied a federal building, then promised to, "shoot if provoked".......then, yes, they fit the terrorist agenda.  Tell me, why should cattlemen be allowed to free graze on the taxpayers' dime?  The Bundys refused to pay grazing fees........

The cattlemen had grazed the High Country for generations.

 

Then the government decided they couldn't do it anymore

 

But they felt it was their right and protested strongly 

 

It's been back and forth, depending

on which government is in power at the time

 

Here's a link -  just explains a little bit.

Don't think we have 'grazing fees' here

Many black American are demanding what they see as justice for Tamir Rice. If a group of such protestors were to arm themselves, barricade themselves inside a public building and threaten violence if the police tried to remove them. How long would they be left alive to protest and how would they be described in public media?

 

 

The high country cattlemen using the area were stopped by 

well meaning greenies from the city-not knowing how it all worked.

 

Still have a bumper sticker----alpine grazing-reduces blazing..............................Richo.

Their anger may be entirely justified, but the  rights and wrongs of their grievance have become irrelevant - once you take up arms against your own  government (be it local, state or federal) to force the issue in a legal wrangle, then you become a terrorist.

Clutching at straws. 

 

Tamir Rice was a 12 yo boy sitting on a swing when police shot him

 

No relevance to the OP   -   AT ALL

 

And frankly, sick of the 'yeah, but what if' scenario you keep putting in

 

There is no ' but what if'     

 

You can't comment on a scenario that doesn't exist IMO
