I have often wondered why there is so much hate in this country. I think it starts at the top of the pyramid. I watched the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr I have a "dream speech" last night. I heard two salient points from the speech: 100 years later oppression of racism still existed, and to dream of the time that African Americans would experience true freedom.

I'm going to voice some concern over this because I believe time will reveal there's much more to this story.
I've heard the term "Boogaloo" ( as well as TEOTWAWKI, and others) thrown about on ranges, in gun stores, and on shooting/"prepping" forums for YEARS. It's always been associated with the projected "collapse of society", or any other event that widely and severely alters "reality" in terms of supply chains, the rule of law, and basic good order. Most of the people associated are just good, law-abiding people trying to take some control of their possible fates, and ensure their "plan" for survival is a little more in-depth than putting a brown paper sack over their head and waiting for the end. I've never come across anyone convinced the "best defense" was creating the very conditions for how such a disaster may come about.
Does that discount any of the recent events or allegations to the contrary? Of course not... I'm quite certain there are some people who have fevered dreams of rising from obscurity to "status" by aspiring to be the next "freedom fighter" leader or operative. Where these are identified, they should be (and apparently are) dealt with.
What concerns me is that whether by accident, or design... this is going to be used to portray every private citizen with perfectly legal supplies, equipment, arms, and training as a potential "domestic terrorist". There's not so fine a line as it may seem between the criminally-motivated... and the responsibly prepared. If any of the many (or several) factions flirting with all-out civil war ever get what they seem to want... we may be glad a few of our fellow citizens had such foresight.
