Oregon standoff vs. Standing Rock
The internet was shocked by the jury declaring those involved in the Oregon standoff were innocent while those involved in the Black Lives Matter movement are still called terrorists by the right-wingers who stand with the Bundy family's occupation of government lands. Others online were simply disgusted that those protesting on Native lands at Standing Rock are being carted away in police vans while the Budy family and their allies are walking free.
