But you're right it is most likely due to ignorance because it differs with your POV.
Bottom line when this thing started the usual suspect were yelling "Terrorists, terrorists, terrorists", they have now not even be found guilty of stopping someone from coming to work.
Despite the overtones of a couple in this thread it was most likely based on rule of law and not race.
Kudos to Fred for recognizing this.
EDIT: I read this as the primary charge:

The act of the occupation itself is an impediment to the work of the federal employees.
As for the race bit, don't care, haven't been involved in any of that.
