7. How is totally ignoring white domestic terrorists not: a 1) racist, 2) totally irresponsible?

Disclaimer: I live in Oregon, ok. So I have some especially piss-off feelings about this.

How is it not blatent institutional racism, to come in guns ablazing when the "threat" perps' skin
is black or brown; but if they are avowed white racists, we completely ignore their blatent law-breaking
on Federal land for weeks? It's utterly unconscionable, and irresponsible in the extreme.

How is this 'fair' to the citizens of Burns Oregon? It's not, it's an insult.

How is this not telegraphing "if you're white racist and are armed to the teeth, you're different, you're
special & above the law and can violate Federal laws with impunity on live TV and we'll do nothing". nothing.

How to deal with this without violence is not rocket science. I've posted already a bazillion times
now, as have others.

a) cut off all access (in or out) the Federal facility and lands involved.
b) cut off all utilities, jam the cell phones, water, electricity, etc.
c) wait them out and arrest them when they leave.

How fucking complicated is that? Jeez.
