Waco. Dozens dead from fire, including many children. Yet no “Coalition of the Willing” bombed the ATF or any U.S. chemical weapons factories. Maybe they should have.

CS gas--banned on the battlefield but OK to use on Americans.

No matter what you think of the Branch Davidians, the U.S. government still used lethal gas on its own people. Period.

And lethal lead on its own people at Kent State. Period.

I just read some about the Waco incident to refresh my memory

it's rather interesting how frequently these cults end up as 1 guy in charge wanting to have sex with all the female members of the cult -- you know, for God or whatever.

Yep. Some country should've bombed the Ohio National Guard by U.S. government reasoning.

And it was all the result of a white guy gun nut that refused to follow instructions from law enforcement. If Koresh and his cult members had just listened to LEO they would still be alive. Weird how the armed white guy gets sympathy for refusing to cooperate with LEO for days but an unarmed 12 year old black child is murdered and labeled a thug for playing with a toy gun in a park with many CD forum posters saying that his death was justified.

Racist. 40% of the victims were black.

And that 12 year-old child was murdered by cops.

Your post indicates that you don't really have any knowledge of what happened or the events surrounding it.

Since when is it OK for the US govt to use military tanks to run over private citizens' home that has women and children in it, and gas them to death and set the house on fire?

You REALLY think that is acceptable? You want that happening in your neighborhood?

Particularly shameful that it happened on the anniversary of Lexington & Concord/The shot heard round the world. AKA the start of the American Revolution.
