Not sure why anyone would cheer the destruction of nearly four score men women & children, unless they'd bought into the administration's Kool Aid.<br /><br />Their theology may have been wrong. They may have been mistaken in their chosen lifestyle, but they were American citizens who were abused by their government. Nothing to cheer about there!Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-59057723918287669422015-04-20T08:18:14.934-04:002015-04-20T08:18:14.934-04:00Excellent essay!

These same people are today worried about the militarization of our local police departments and the trampling of our Constitutional rights by the executive branches of government.Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-26056603755174140172015-04-20T02:11:10.414-04:002015-04-20T02:11:10.414-04:00I'm thankful that there hasn't been anothe...I'm thankful that there hasn't been another, as well. But I believe that that is why we need the political system to work, with honest voting, observing the rule of law. And we need to seek justice for all men, so that we don't see anyone from the right chanting in the streets "No justice, no peace!".Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-19202722034878187792015-04-20T01:51:39.033-04:002015-04-20T01:51:39.033-04:00Can't agree more, Proof.

The truth is, we've done such a poor job the last 6 years, there have been hundreds of little Waco's as the number of no-knock raids has skyrocketed. I agree with OKC being a grave and evil injustice, but I wonder why there haven't been more since, as the outraged has not dimmed.Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774510750415512728.post-62449809206960067502015-04-19T21:13:38.128-04:002015-04-19T21:13:38.128-04:00I had always heard CS described as a "gas&quo...I had always heard CS described as a "gas". If indeed it is a micro fine powder, then it is abundantly clear why it would not only be flammable, but explosive, like grain dust in a silo.

The delivery method is what can be flammable, CS grenades 'explode' which causes the 'gas' to disperse.
