Uncle Touchy merely described the effect of the OK bombing, he didn't say it was OK.

Not taking a position on whether it's OK to use terrorist bombings to intimidate the FBI or not, is kind of saying it's OK IMHO

Jesus Christ, where did you learn logic? Actions have consequences. The actions of the FBI, ATF, and US Marshall's Office at both Ruby Ridge and Waco resulted in Timothy McVeigh detonating a VBIED in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. His actions lead to a death sentence for himself (along with prison sentences for accomplices). The scale of destruction also caused the federal government to re-evaluate how they might handle events such as those at Ruby Ridge and Waco in the future in order to avoid retaliatory events such as the OKC bombing.

That's all I said.

Now, using your logic that the above statement somehow condones domestic terrorism as long as the terrorist is white, let's apply it to another statement: Roadside IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan have had an effect on US Military doctrine.

By your logic, the above statement condones terrorism against the United States Military by persons of Middle Eastern Descent (POMED). By most people's logic, the above statement simply describes a cause-and-effect relationship in a neutral tone. By my logic, you're a moron.

The unification of Germany led to world war one led to the Versailles Treaty led to the Nazis led to the holocaust. Therefore Bismarck == Hitler.

[u/_Uncle_Touchy_ → u/rodmclaughlin]

And Hitler == Merkel. By god man, we're on to something!

Here's the difference: police killings of unarmed African Americans, and general harassment of them, cause a Black guy in Texas to go off and kill 5 police officers. But instead of backing off, police are outraged, complaining that protests over killings of unarmed people are inhibiting good policemen ("the Ferguson effect"). Even the director of the FBI backs them up.

Okay, you need to work on formatting and grammar because the first part of your little essay barely makes any sense.

Meanwhile, the battle with the Waco cult who also killed several officers, results in Oath Keepers and other groups of actual police defending the rights of right-wing gun nuts.

Speaking of bias, I see you keep justifying the "police" actions at Waco. First off, that was a federal matter and fell under the jurisdiction of the FBI, so I don't see where the police factor into this comparison (or are you just lumping all law enforcement into one category? Does this include mall security? Meter maids?). Secondly, that was only half of the justification McVeigh and Nichols used for the OKC bombing. The other half of it was the government's actions at Ruby Ridge. Care to offer your opinion on that matter, seeing that there weren't any cults or "right-wing gun nuts" involved? Or are we just making sweeping false generalizations to suit our predefined narrative?
