Translation: Nothing should be done about it because I support bombing government buildings.
Don't use Google translate, because that's not what I said.
Socio referenced nothing linking Bundy to the bombings but coincidence. Considering the number of people the BLM office in Nevada undoubtedly serves, and the spat of OTHER unrelated bombings of government buildings, the only basis for tying it to the Bundy's is fallacy.
Until more proof is provided a Bundy is responsible the bombings must be discounted as being related. Especially considering that they suddenly and mysteriously stopped whilst the Bundy's contention remained.
The notion that the Bundy's were involved in the bombings, at this point, is just as substantiated as that they were not. Because the entire BASIS of Socio's conclusion was that the Bundy's dispute and the bombings coincided. The problem is we also have fifteen years+ when the Bundy's dispute and the bombings DIDN'T coincide, making the assessment of blame to them based on the former coincidence rather empty.
Of course, I'll freely withdraw any such defense if anyone points me to actual evidence of Bundy responsibility. It's common knowledge the dude's been involved in stirring up enough shit, it isn't a huge leap to see him directly involved in causing shit.
But we can't assign that to him based on 'hurr durr coincidence' when 'hurr durr coincidence' just as strongly (if not more so) points to his innocence in the bombings.
