Offering the Shah exile when he was over thrown created many hostage situations too. They should have stayed well out of it.

I think it is you that is having a education problem on this forum. Quite frankly this is actually a racing forum and chit chat just brings together some cutural interchange that you continually try to inject phobias into. Get over it.

Our lil' redneck came out of the woods again to give us a nice example of the great culture to be found in his great country, while at the same time questioning other people's level of education. Good one! :rotflmao:

Could you point out in what way did you help humanity to such great achievements as freedom of speech?
Was it by allegedly smuggling a gun on a flight to Europe?

Yep.

This is why I don't run my mouth before I have the facts:

Eventually, the FBI launched an assault and initiated a tear gas attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out. During the attack, a fire engulfed Mount Carmel Center and 76 men, women, and children,^[8][9] including David Koresh, died."

Show me where anyone was held hostage. Those people were willing participants - wacko cultists, but still willing participants. That still does not excuse the overwelming use of force by the government. There was no reason to stage a full scale military assualt. Those folks weren't going anywhere.


Your opinion of the second amendment does not correspond with that of the Supreme Court which, several times, has decided otherwise.


I would be hard pressed to find a more ignorant statement. While the FBI, it seems, could have been more diligent in tracking Tamerlan, it does not follow that they would have immediately known he was the perpetrator.

Ignorant statement? Well excuse me Mr Starter. I find it really interesting coming from you the person who banned others for using an * to infer but not use as a letter that you would even have the audacity to state that an opinion was ignorant when you have not the slightest knowledge of how these types of operations work and the manner in which they are kept. So please, keep idiotic opinion to yourself. You want to ask me if I know anything about these things?

The Supreme court with Scalia certainly does a disservice to the people of this country as do the representatives who voted against the overwhelmingly desired will of 90% of the people last week. Makes me believe that Officer Currie would still be alive if not for the easily attained weapons that were used to shoot him. Go on and feel contempt for anyone that would like to really feel safe walking the streets without some jackass shooting because I have a hoodie or the wrong skin color.

Waco? You seem to have deliberately used a source that was in your favor: Below is the actual events of day one and the reason YOU should be appalled as any American. Why are you taking the side of a guy responsible for the deaths of how many????

On the morning of Sunday, February 28, 1993, agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted to serve an arrest warrant for Vernon Howell, a/k/a David Koresh, and a search warrant at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas. The arrest warrant charged Koresh with unlawful possession of a destructive device, in violation of 26 United States Code, section 5845(f). Both the search warrant and the arrest warrant were signed by a United States Magistrate Judge. The search warrant authorized a search of the premises of the 77 acre compound located at Route 7, Box 47-B (a/k/a The Mount Carmel Center), Waco, Texas for evidence relating to the unlawful possession of fully automatic machine guns and destructive devices. While attempting to serve these warrants, ATF agents came under heavy gunfire from individuals in the compound. As a result, four ATF agents were killed and fifteen wounded.

Shutting down a whole city in order to search for a wounded person is not normal, they did it to increase the fear of the plebe.

Dribble and hogwash. Go away.

Ummm, care to bet if it probably had or had not?
