The "Bundy Rebellion" was astounding, in terms of what those insurrectionists were allowed to get away with. I will never forget the image of the guys flat, sniper-style on the bridge with their rifles trained on law enforcement. And the terrorism worked! The lawful authorities shuffled away with their tails between their legs, is how I remember it. One wonders, what if there had been determined enforcement on that occasion, would Ammon and the gang have been less empowered to violate laws later? Then try to picture that many armed black people gathered, with black guys laid flat on rooftops with sniper rifles trained on cops.....

One doesn't have to wonder too long; we know Ammon Bundy wouldn't be prancing around running for governor of Idaho. And black guys would've been shot on the spot as just part of the normal morning routine, even before coffee. Yawn, stretch, eject a round.
