No Bundys were murdered, so why would you think I was referring to them as 'innocents'? It seems to me that the Malheur Bundy bunch acted criminally, but I was not on the jury. It was the prosecutor's job to convince the jury that they committed the crimes he charged them with, and he failed. Oh well, them's the breaks.

On the other hand, in my post above, I was talking about the women and children in Waco. Your assertion that the fires were set by the Branch Davidians is ludicrous. The Feds shooting flammable gas into buildings were the cause of the fires. Plus, the raid occurred while the people inside were threatening no one.

But I guess since it was a Clinton who ordered the raid, those people deserved to die.

Your posts are every bit as anti-Constitutional as Trump's advocacy for canceling the election. I expect better than that sort of "my team good, your team bad" gutter-level politics here.
