He's a white terrorist, so nothing.

If he was a Muslim or a black man, he would have been killed in April of 2014.

We go to such lengths to not use words like "muslim terrorist" here. Why do you think throwing out "white terrorist" is a good thing in general? For example, next time there is a boko haram raid and someone goes yelling "black muslims are kidnapping women by the hundreds!", its not like you can say "Leave race out of this, we are all humans, and they are a group of bad humans". So really... I don't get it. The moral high ground is kinda good to have on your side.

I have just read about a dozen posts from you throwing out "white terrorists" and wanting to escalate the situation. I haven't read any of your posts calling out "black terrorists" or "muslim terrorists"... hence my confusion. But if you do call them out as vigorously as you do the whitey's, then I give you credit for being consistant

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

Of course he's not counting the penalties, nor has he offered to pay the $300K he admits he owes. What an asshole.

people who have the money to hire lawyers to defend them in court. He was a retired IRS auditor. And being been counters they looked at how much they would get verses how much it would cost the IRS. Generally the decision was to go after poor people and just take their houses and stuff because it was cheaper to do.

So if someone owes a 1 million tax bill and they figure that it might cost 1.5 million to do it, they see it as not profitable.

I know one the bottom you will loose everything, on the top, nothing touches you (with good accountants and lawyers).
