    And yet the Waco siege is still a rallying cry for anti-government groups accusing the FBI and DEA of unjust, violent overreaction, while the MOVE bombing is not. Huh, I wonder what the difference is? /s

        let’s not kid ourselves, it’s not the body count, it’s the same reason they don’t cite Tulsa nor Blair Mountain

            they don’t you say? so none of them involved Government force, and not for the better?

            but let’s be honest, Tulsa just had mainly black victims and was supported by the government (this is fine)

            Blair Mountain just had mainly socialists as victims and was supported by the government (this is also fine)

            but Waco, those were upstanding whites who refused the tyrannical mandate of the government (real victims)

                because this has nothing to do with concentration camps, and everything to do with the American government and government related massacres in America?

                I mean, if you want to bring concentration camps into this, we can start talking about why a majority of the American prison population is black and are used as life long slave labor.
