It was the evil Government and all our evil institutions. They did it because they hate freedom. Koresh was the second coming of Jesus. He said so himself. Jesus got to have sex with all the women in his cult including of course the married ones while he made the men be celibate. One girl testified he forced her to have sex with him when she was 10. Poor David.

Global thermal nuclear war is always a threat to the world but, not many countries seem willing to push the button and end the world so far.

Call it TDS. I call it Trump is a total POS lying cheating con man who doesn’t care who or what he destroys as long as he wins.
I think that last statement is more appropriate for the Dems.

Just because Koresh said he was the second coming of Jesus, made it true to you? He was the leader of a cult, and everyone agrees with that fact. Does being in a cult, correlate that they deserve to be burned alive? How about 'Poor 76 others, including 25 children and two pregnant women'? Did they deserve to die too? That's a pretty dark position you are taking.

"TDS" is a bogus term. It's entirely justified to be very concerned, worried, upset about Trump. He's an existential threat to the country and to the world. American democracy itself is likely to crumble if he becomes President again. I'm terrified of it.
This is classic Trump Derangement Syndrome where you are in fact using bogus and nebulous terms to describe them, because it's nonsense and you can't specifically articulate how that will happen. Then on top of it you describe, much more specifically, how you feel about it.

Is Trump in the room with you now, Mori?
David Koresh was just misunderstood too, right?
Really? What is your understanding of David Koresh? The cult leader in Waco, TX that was burned alive by the ATF & FBI along with 76 Branch Davidians, including 25 children, and two pregnant women.
Yikes. Big bad government. Arson investigators said it was inside, but ya know, what do they know?
By saying it was inside, and critics contend that live rounds were indeed fired by law enforcement, and suggest that a combination of gunshots and flammable tear gas was the true cause of the fire.

You’re assuming, without evidence, that they were murdered by the Feds. The evidence that is available points against that conclusion.

Critics believe there was plenty of evidence to point to it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_sieg ... on%20piles
The events of the siege and attack, particularly the origin of the fire, are disputed by various sources. Department of Justice reports from October 1993 and July 2000 conclude that although incendiary tear gas canisters were used by the FBI, the Branch Davidians had started the fire, citing evidence from audio surveillance recordings of very specific discussions between Koresh and others about pouring more fuel on piles of hay as the fires started, and from aerial footage showing at least three simultaneous ignition points at different locations in the building complex.[15][16][17] The FBI contends that none of their agents fired any live rounds on the day of the fire.[16] Critics contend that live rounds were indeed fired by law enforcement, and suggest that a combination of gunshots and flammable tear gas was the true cause of the fire.

The Ruby Ridge Siege and the Waco Siege were cited by Timothy McVeigh as the main reasons for his and Terry Nichols's plan to execute the Oklahoma City bombing exactly two years later, on April 19, 1995, as well as the modern-day American militia movement and a rise in opposition to firearm regulation.[

And those humans are supposed to be the ones protecting children and doing Gods work. Do they really believe in God if they are doing this on the job?

It's a crazed lunatic stabbing people in Germany. A policeman tackles a guy that was trying to stop the attacker and end up getting knifed in the upper back/neck area.

Not to sound callous, but why post about a random stabbing in Germany? Surely there are lots of sad stories like that every day? Why focus on that one?

Because he was stabbing a bunch of people, was totally unhinged, and was caught on tape. Yes, you do sound callous.

Certainly if the guy stabbed somebody, he should receive swift justice. But I think you've only posted it because it's a Muslim who did it. Otherwise I can't see why you care about a random knife attack in Germany. Do you know how many knife attacks there are in the world per month? You never mention a single one of them. But this one made it to your right-wing outrage social media because it feeds into their Islamophobia so you ran with it.

* Also, pro-gun nuts love posting about knife attacks because it reinforces their belief that if you restrict or ban guns, people will instead just commit mass atrocities with knives instead.

It wasn't random, Mr. Ad Hominem.
