Once you say that we can break laws absent penalty, we can make any law one we can break. I used an extreme example to make the point. When Rosa Parks broke the law, she expected to be arrested, and was. So was MLK. They was no arming up to prevent being arrested. They understood the law and the consequences, and accepted them. You support no punishment for someone breaking the law, and that is the bottom line. If the law is wrong, let it come to light. But you don't arm up and say we'll shoot law enforcement personal.
Now, I don't think this meets the level of civil rights either. This is just a freeloader using government land. Whether the government in that state has gone to far is another issue, and one worthy of discussion outside this event. But this is no hero of any movement. He's just a welfare rancher.
Never said he was a hero, nor that he should be able to break any law with impunity....That is only you distorting the discussion....Dishonestly I might add.
The real crux is the discussion you failed to even attempt to address from my post to you.
