You know, the same tear gas "chemical weapon" that is used by police departments every day in the United States.
It seems you are confusing the term "chemical weapons" with "weapons of mass destruction".


Tear gas, CS, both are indeed chemical weapons.

What?

What did he think the government was doing for those 51 days?

They were talking to him every day. He even promised to surrender multiple times, before going back on his word.

I watched the whole thing play out on TV, as did David Koresh, and there was no confusion about what was going on.

Am I living in some kind of bizarro world?

Yes and tear gas is actually banned from wartime use by international treaty, but okay for police depts here in the states to use on us.

Yes, you are.

There was no arrest warrant.

I'm not confusing anything.

An earlier poster complained about the government using "chemical weapons" and left it at that.

I said that was hyperbole and pointed out that tear gas is used by law enforcement every day in this country and I find that use of the term "chemical weapons" instead of the term "tear gas" to be hyperbole.

Please read the entire thread.

I am not saying "tear gas" is not technically "chemical weapons."

I NEVER said that.

I just wish people would have been more straightforward and said "the government used tear gas" rather than "the government used chemical weapons."

You and I both know what the inference was.

We should feel honored.

Nothing but the best for our own!

Did you just pull a Roy Moore?

Wrong.

Quote:
On the morning of Sunday, February 28, 1993, agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted to serve an arrest warrant for Vernon Howell, a/k/a David Koresh, and a search warrant at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas. The arrest warrant charged Koresh with unlawful possession of a destructive device, in violation of 26 United States Code, section 5845(f).


Prove that wrong.

Every link that tries to prove that false is to some FAKE NEWS website.

My post about that has been buried, but here is what I said in response to that:


Quote:
There it is, ladies and gentleman.

"There is a context to it."

That is the exact same thing the Roy Moore defenders said. You know, "well, in Alabama, there is a context to those things."

Nonsense.

Cult or not, raping a child is wrong, and it is unbelievable that anyone in a civilized society would try to put forth ANY defense for the rape of a child.

Unbelievable.

Some people see having sex with a child as a sin just like if you had sex with an adult you were not married to. They don't get it.
