So?

Some civilians staged a scaled down re-enactment of a WWII tank in action and that means that the FBI, ATF or US Army rolled one out for Waco?

The absurdity is not in a tank having a flamethrower. You're missing the point. Deliberately or not I can't tell tbh. Regardless - I'm bored now. Can only stick with the conspiracy shit for a while before it stops being funny and just becomes a little pathetic.

People died in this thing... It's sad that OP wants to twist the truth of their deaths to suit his grudge against the govt that provides for him ad his family.

The US government slaughtered 76 American citizens, including 24 children, in Waco, Texas.


Imagine if you will, even if just for a moment, if Russia had launched 150 cruise missiles into the US to "teach us" not to slaughter our own civilians like we just did to Syria.


Thankfully we didn't get bombed after letting black people in Tuskegee die of syphilis even though we had the ability to easily treat them, and despite telling them they were being treated, and withholding such treatment to see the progression of syphilis.

No chemical weapons were used in Libya either, and yet, there we were.



MARKED BY GUNS!!!! What? We all have a right to guns. Most of the people killed were killed by a fire started on purpose by the government.

Fuck cooperation.


The difference of course being:

"fire started by the government" = FBI agents and local officials who were getting tired of the standoff

vs.

"children and civilians gas bombed" = presumably approved explicitly by Assad (if you believe it was an Assad job) (second parentheses: "Assad job" was meant to be a play on "inside job" that is too far way to not risk saying it)

The teacher of my high school (years i took it, not where i took it) bible class maintained that health insurance shouldn't cover STD's. She even said that she'd prefer hospitals not treat them and force those with them to go to a clinic like Planned Parenthood. The logic is actually quite sound, no one ever got an STI without them or their partner sinning. And to her not knowing your partner had sinned was a sin of itself, or near enough. Tough old bitch who wasn't afraid to rant at teenagers even though she knew we barely listened.

That's some pretty bad logic. My high school health teacher, who was responsible for doing our sex education, told us that she just couldn't say the word "sex", and so instead called it "the big nasty" the entire time.

FBI made mistakes but don't get too carried away thinking the FBI getting involved wasn't justified. The dude was fucking kids and who knows what else kinds of abuse.

If you want to be a cult in the United States and not have the government going after you , you either need to be like the Amish and allow people to leave when they want or be like Scientology and have enough real estate in California to fund enough lawsuits to prevent the government from going after you.
