When are an ideologically motivated group of terrorists not terrorists:
Evidently when they're white and the favorite darlings of the same people who are ultra-statists in most other circumstances.

The Bundy family, now determined to ensure the serial killer isn't the only infamous representative of the name, has moved on from squatting on Federal land and bawling about not paying taxes like adults to outright takeover of Federal properties at gunpoint. I say that since they want to play those games, send in tanks and soldiers with M16s and a free fire zone. Occupying a building with firearms to make a political point is literally the textbook definition of both terrorism and insurrection. American conservatives and right-wingers may be selectively illiterate on the point, but insurrection is unconstitutional and must be met with an iron fist sooner rather than allowed to fester and these assclowns get bolder and then the USA slides into large parts of it overrun with fat idiots shooting their dicks off and thinking they're hot stuff. And like Daesh credible mainly because those who could stop them either work with them or lack the will to try.
I do of course expect the usual half-assed justifications for why twelve year old boys with toy guns are clear and present dangers but this is somehow not, as well as how terrorism when done by people named Nassir or Abdullah is evil, but done by people named Cliven is more meh, whatever nobody cares. At the same token, behavior like this is also but the escalation of the repeated shooting happens, get massed coverage pattern, and the Nevada Incident.
And of course worth noting is this particular bit of horseshit from the media:

If people sincerely think that occupying a building at gunpoint is 'peaceful' what exactly do they think a fucking war or terrorist attack is?
