This is about White Privilege, no black, brown or Muslim would have come out of the Bundy stand off unharmed and many would be dead. This is about White Privilege, they are allowed violent protest and are set free with impunity.

As I have explained in an earlier Salon piece, if there is political violence in the United States on Election Day or thereafter, such an outcome will not be the result of one singular event. A jury’s decision to acquit the right-wing domestic terrorists Ammon and Ryan Bundy and their cabal is but one more step in a long march toward the next Timothy McVeigh.

A storm is coming. Are we prepared? And will those who have summoned it — such as Trump and the right-wing media — be held properly responsible for the harm and chaos they have inspired?


Not sure where Field & Stream and Outdoor Life fit in here.
