This day in History

April 19, 2008 on 2:20 pm | In Uncategorized |

Apr 19, 1775: The “shot heard around the world” was fired. Colonial Minute Men took on British Army regulars at Lexington and Concord, Mass., starting the American Revolution. The British Army regulars were on their way to seize the colonists stores of powder and shot when they were engaged. They soon turned and fled, but continued to be shot and sniped at as they retreated.

Also, today was the day, fifteen years ago when the FBI moved into the Branch Dividian compound in Waco, TX with tanks and APC’s and gassed the people inside, men, women and many children. A fire started and incinerated everyone inside. Key government personnel later went on to perjure themselves and get promotions and raises.

“We’re from the government, and we’re here to help!”

  1. Even though I disagree with what David Koresh stood for and what he was doing. It does not in any way excuse how the FBI and others handled it. He could have simple been picked up by the locals and turned over to the Feds. No one hurt and job accomplished.

    But, no. They had to be cowboys,just like at Ruby Ridge,where a Weavers wife and a 14 year old boy were shot,while unarmed. The same goes for Waco,but on larger and more horrific scale.

    And just like Ruby Ridge, the government lied and covered up the murderous events afterwards. Later motivating the tragedy of Oklahoma City.
