In the UK we have extremists who like to march with flags and spout hate on a saturday afternoon. But it is extremely rare for it to spill over into actually killing people.Do you think that there is any way that the Bundy types would escalate their protest into actual violence ? If not they are a long way from being on the same page as McVeigh.Depends on what you call domestic terrorists. If you mean those with an ideological agenda, such as the Bundy's and McVeigh, then, since 9-11, there really haven't been that many. If you mean loonies with a gun, there have been all too many.
As for the ones like the Bundy's, I think that the rants at the end of that occupation were so way out there, that may discourage more of that nonsense. They all looked like total loons by the time the occupation of the Refuge ended.
Well, yes. The left-wing in our country celebrated one of these protesters being killed, in the name of oppressive government.
You have to remember what inspired this. The government refused to give Cliven Bundy permits to graze his cattle, on Federal Land. Now given the Federal Government owns 85% of the land in Nevada, basically the government sentenced Bundy to impoverishment.
How would you respond to that? If your livelihood depended on land, and government owned nearly all the land, and at the same time refused to allow you to use it.... What do you do? Just accept it, and roll over and die?
So these people are pissed off, and rightly so. Now they got control of a tiny lodge, and protested the Federal Government dictating their lives. Big whoopty doo.
But the way the government responded was to shoot one of them. Eventually we will find out if that was in self defense, or if it was an execution. I doubt it was an execution. That's my personal opinion.
But.... the way the left has responded to this.... not good. Not very smart. Kind of like Palestine on 9/11.
Now again, if your the one who is being ruined by the Federal Govenrment, which owns all the land, and is telling you to roll over and die, and then you protest that, and you get shot, and people celebrate it................
Well CRAP! What do you think is going to happen?? I would not be all that surprised if things didn't get violent. And I wouldn't blame them much.
