  lemmy.ml is over there.

  I literally got information from Wikipedia. The wife believed that the end of the world was nigh. Now I will admit, even back then, you didn’t need to believe the end of the world was nigh to not trust the government. But let’s be frank, ruby ridge was not on the same level as the bonus army, or the battle of Blair mountain, or Kent state.

  If you think I shoot out between a conspiratorial family who believed at the end of the world was nigh and group of incompetent cops is equivalent to the battle of Blair mountain, then frankly, I think it’s you that’s fallen for the propaganda.

    I am not saying it’s worse, I’m saying it was still a collosal government fuck up that resulted in the deaths of an entire family.

    Are you trying to tell me that it was ok simply because they believed in a sky daddy???
