Both the Bundy Occupation and 'Black Lives Matter' Are Revolts, Not Protests

From PJ Media via H/T at Instapundit:

When Ammon Bundy led a group of armed protesters to take over a federal building in Oregon, he unwittingly presented an analog of "Black Lives Matter." Human nature affords the benefit of doubt to those with shared values. Therefore, many of the same people who decried the actions of Black Lives Matter now cheer in support of Bundy. Conversely, many who supported the disruption of Black Lives Matter now rush to label the Bundy group "terrorists."

In truth, the Black Lives Matter movement and the Bundy group have far more in common than they do in contrast. Both groups have grievances with government which they claim have gone unaddressed. Both groups point to ongoing examples of perceived government persecution. Both groups have chosen civil disobedience to draw attention to their cause. Both groups portray themselves as "peaceful" and claim to be engaged in "non-violent" protest.

I think the author is on to something, they are both sides of the same coin. A revolt against government.
