Journalist Roland S. Martin has a question regarding the ongoing militia takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon:
Did I miss the call for the national guard in Oregon? I recall them in Ferguson and Baltimore. #OregonUnderAttack

Maybe we missed something. Are there riots at this remote wildlife station that need an immediate National Guard response?

Off to bed, folks. Let me know if any furniture or brochures are injured in this violent #OregonUnderAttack visitor center standoff.

The guys at #OregonUnderAttack are guilty of trespassing at an empty rural visitor center. Get some perspective, you bloodthirsty freaks.

The same angry libs that wanted Baltimore to have 'room to burn" are want blood b/c 15 guys are trespassing at an empty visitor's center.

Looting, arson, assaulting cops in Ferguson = protestors
Occupying a park building w/ zero injuries = white terrorists#OregonUnderAttack

@rolandsmartin don't need the National Guard for pissed off Hillbillies protesting over a sacked mate. They ain't burning Ferguson down.

@rolandsmartin No one in Oregon is burning down buildings or attacking anyone. #OregonUnderAttack

Nothing has been burned or looted yet & it's confined to one building not an entire city. https://t.co/HNcjBhaVxW

@rolandsmartin Did I miss the destruction of property and burning of police cars in Oregon? I guess I did.

More from Martin on the “apologists” who don’t agree with his call for military action to end the standoff:
From @ABC: "Beth Anne Steele, an FBI spokeswoman in Portland, told The AP the agency was aware of the situation." No further comment. WOW.

Really @TheDaleJackson? I recall #ClivenBundy was called a patriot by MANY on @FoxNews, Twitter and talk radio. https://t.co/BGcydUhFIp
— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 3, 2016
Tell me @TheDaleJackson. If a #BlackLivesMatter protester did this, would they be called a freedom fighter? https://t.co/5MUH7aaXMC
— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 3, 2016
Nah, Dale. WE understand. WE know how Cliven Bundy was depicted with his Nevada standoff. Oh, WE ARE REAL CLEAR. https://t.co/Clq3kisQP9

Y'all notice the hypocrisy, huh? #OregonUnderAttack https://t.co/sktyN4yNfN
— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 3, 2016
Notice how the #OregonUnderAttack apologists totally ignored the armed takeover of federal property https://t.co/gihsByoWqB
— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) January 3, 2016
So the #OregonUnderAttack domestic terrorists are threatening to kill law enforcement. But the apologists are cool. https://t.co/v23DEWgoKa

And let’s point out that using the National Guard on federal land is not how it works anyway:
Folks, the National Guard is a state function; they just cannot go into federal jurisdiction unilaterally. https://t.co/bTNZG1LsfD
— P. Kenneth Burns (@PKBNews) January 3, 2016
And by the way, @MayorSRB requested the National Guard to come to #Baltimore. @LarryHogan didn't just send them. https://t.co/bTNZG1LsfD
— P. Kenneth Burns (@PKBNews) January 3, 2016
Exactly.
