My friend there is no parallel between MLK and the Bundy’s. Different time, different politics and race is a dog whistle subject - even then, Bundy’s fight not so much.

Bundy led a non violent protest in Oregon in early 2016 and that the FBI ambushed protesters on the highway with LaVoy Finicum being killed and Ryan Bundy injured.

No violence at Bunkerville from the Bundy side but feds tasing Ammon Bundy, beating up Dave Bundy and knocking down Margaret Houston in the days leading to the April 12, 2014 standoff.

The federal land control in the West as its screws have tightened since the BLM was started in 1960 just the screws of Jim Crow racism tightening in the South over the decades in the late 1800’s to around 1900.

The federal land policies impoverish the farmers and ranchers preventing them from making a living just like the racial policies kept black people from the better jobs in the South.
