The government want your guns so they can put you into camps.

oy, not to forget about when the govt sprayed radiation over the city of St. Louis.

or member that time when the govt killed its people by poisoning booze during prohibition.

WACO was the real atrocity. They burned alive an entire camp of women and children.

They can both be atrocities

. . .

but neither of them can be prosecuted for, apparently

That's why Timothy McVeigh should be considered a hero. It's the closest thing we have to justice.

McVeigh was a patsy.

I don't buy that.

Because you're still a normie.

Because it doesn't make sense. Don't believe every conspiracy theory you read. The vast majority of them are strategically manufactured FUD.

Waco is one of the more fucked up things that the govt did to its people before 2001

David Koresh set that fire, not the ATF agents. There are recordings of him giving the orders.

[–]peety 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

yes, and after koresh was out of the compound, he ordered the tanks to roll over everything. /s

It was a botched operation and the reason they used for search warrants (supposedly a box with grenades fell at a post office facility and busted open) was corrupt, but Koresh was a cult leader and child rapist and used the raid "to go out in a blaze of glory" instead of life in prison or the death penalty.

of course (((they))) needed a search warrant. (((they))) couldn't apprehend Koresh on one of his many solo trips to town.

As a European I had no idea about this, but knew enough about Waco. What's telling is the media reporting falsehoods. How many times has similar things happened unreported. The list is looong on governmental abuse of power over there; just the Tuskegee Experiment is enough to make me lose faith. Land of the free yeah, but I don't think that's part of the thinking of the people in charge.

Of course we got our own shit. But I don't think it's as easy to do and get away with.
