Description
will try to con you by comparing apples and oranges.
Timothy McVeigh was a radical right terrorist who murdered 168 unarmed people including 19 children in a day care center for political reasons.
No one in the building was given any warning.
David Koresh was a psychotic radical right cult leader who fathered 24 children with married and unmarried cult members, some of them well below legal age (which means he was a pedophile like most of the radical right). There were ongoing rumors of a meth lab being run by Koresh to make money to buy guns. He had assembled an massive arsenal of illegal weapons including 48 machine guns and a large number of hand grenades.
They were warned the ATF was on the way there and opened fire when they arrived, killing four ATF agents. They were given 3 weeks to surrender and exit the compound peacefully. Eleven people chose to leave and were not harmed.
Oklahoma City was an execution for radical right political purposes. The Branch Davidian compound was a group suicide for radical right political purposes. Anyone that wanted to leave had 3 weeks to safely do so.
What do the two events have in common?
Almost nothing except both represent how evil the radical right in America is. Heavily armed, looking for people to kill, trying to overthrow freedom and democracy.
