Armed gunmen seize US Government building
Seems to not have garnered much 'front-page news' attention...
Link
Quote:
A group of armed anti-government activists remained encamped at a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon on Sunday evening, vowing to occupy the outpost for years to protest the federal government’s treatment of a pair of local ranchers set to report to prison Monday.
The occupation of a portion of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, about 30 miles southeast of Burns, Ore., began a day earlier, after a small group of men broke off from a much larger march and rally held on Saturday evening
The armed occupation is being led by Ammon Bundy, an Idaho rancher whose father, Cliven Bundy, led an armed standoff with federal agents in Nevada in 2014 and who has described his supporters as “militia men.”

I bet there would have been a lot more media coverage if a large group of non-white or non-Christian armed men had taken over the building...

What are you trying to say? From what you said previously you think a large group of black/Asian Christians or women of any colour , religion or creed wouldn't of got A large media coverage either? Well I think that's what you're saying.
I'm not sure if you're being racist or sexist, or even if it's a hate crime............ But then reading some of your previous posts I suspect you have a drink problem so I guess we just put all this down to you having 1 too many pops hey... A nice 1678AD half malt from the darkest crater of the moon hey lol

You need to keep up with what is happening in the US and the Black Lives Matter campaign.Your ignorance is astounding.I understand very well what Hugh means.

I'll make it easy for those slow to catch on.
If a group of heavily armed people took over a building in the USA and were non white then in a very short period of time it would end in violence when the authorities took action.
It appears that when groups of white folks do the same the authorities are happy to turn a blind eye.

Re: Armed gunmen seize US Government building
I imagine that if a few hostages are beheaded, drowned, burned alive or mown down on camera by those responsible the media will indulge them with a great deal more coverage. Moreso if this heralds the start of a campaign of such violence by for example a white, ultra right wing religious cult.
Lets be honest, in places like Mexico, the most horrific violence has been going on for years and we hear virtually nothing about it. I think that has more to do with where it's happening and the risk it poses to us/ours than it does with skin colour or some media fixation with all things Islam.

Re: Armed gunmen seize US Government building
Notice that these guys get called 'a militia' by the media. If they were black or brown they would be called terrorists and would be dead by now.
In my book, taking over a government building with armed threat, is at least armed insurrection. Why are the NG not there?

Ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of - however, you shouldn't be proud of it, either...
btw, fairly poor ad hominem attack on me - try harder....

Federal authorities are finally making their move against the heavily armed “militia” that has taken over the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon. Wary of provoking a deadly shootout with the anti-government extremists, the feds are taking the appropriate and logical step to freeze them out, cutting off power, telephone lines, and road access to the militia redoubt.

Don't like it hey? How often do you criticise the person, not the comment? Glass houses an all that.
