Occupy vs Bundy - The legal consequences, What a Difference

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/05/04/1296828/-Digby-s-observation-on-the-Fed-s-handling-of-Occupy-vs-Bundy?detail=facebook

Nonviolent protesters seeking organized change via the rules of the USA are harassed and ruined and threatened with jail while armed scofflaws who owe the USA millions are allowed to draw down on them as a way of not cooperating with paying those fees. And the government backs down and has yet to do jack about it.
But man, they sure can come down hard on an unarmed Occupy protester.
It really does send a message that guns get you what you want and following the rules gets you in trouble. And that an elbow is far worse than pointing a gun.
If people ask "what about the system is broken", this is a faaaabuouls example.
