    Damn, gonna really miss Wendigoon. Can't believe he just drowned in a kiddy pool despite being an excellent swimmer, then shot himself twice in the back of the head while hanging himself, all while the FBI found 500 TB of CP on a Windows 95 computer in his basement, despite the fact his house doesn't have a basement

      it seems like they would do that to eliminate as much evidence as possible.
      they thought they would have an easy pr victory by provoking a stereotypically batshit crazy cult into a gun fight. when reality didn't align with their vision, they got desperate to force a confrontation. when that didn't work, they obliterated the camo davidians so they could try to take out the evidence with them.

    Not to mention (if ive heard correctly) regarding the two shotguns that started the Ruby ridge thing. They were in fact created by the father at the request of an undercover ATF agent. An undercover federal agent asked him to make two illegal guns... which is entrapment.
    I have been informed this is wrong it was a civilian informant not an agent and according to them Weaver approached them about the guns first. So not entrapment still a very bad situation all around.

    So as a chemist, I have to mention that dichloromethane (methylene chloride, DCM) isn’t that flammable. It will burn, but it needs a decent amount of energy input to get it to burn. I once tested this by putting a couple drops on a microscope slide, tried to light it on fire, and it took some effort. When it does finally start to burn, it burns with a weak, dirty flame. That is at least when it’s a liquid that’s not thoroughly mixed with air. DCM is also very volatile meaning it vaporizes very easily; it has a boiling point of about 40 C (or about 103 F which for a solvent is a very low boiling point), and a very high vapor pressure meaning it readily jumps from the liquid phase to the gas phase. When mixed very thoroughly with air, and in it’s vapor phase it’s probably easier to ignite. However, it’s nothing like ethyl ether (which will easily ignite on a hot surface; it doesn’t even require a spark), or even something like ethanol which is still pretty flammable.
    Regardless, I hope DCM has been phased out for aerosolizing tear gases because the main risk of DCM is it’s toxicity. It’s not as toxic as something like cyanides. It’s not even the most toxic solvent that’s still used (that dubious honor goes to tetrachloromethane, aka carbon tetrachloride, or maybe carbon disulfide), but it’s still toxic. Exposure to large quantities can cause serious damage to organs. Oh, and it’s thought to be a possible carcinogen. If its intended use is to be a component of a non-lethal weapon used by police then the solvent should at least be nontoxic, so people aren’t accidentally poisoned by it.
    Anyway, I don’t believe the cultists lit the fire themselves. Too many lies from the government to believe anything they say. This is just my input on the solvent used to aerosolize CS since I’ve worked with DCM in the laboratory many, many times as a solvent for reactions, extractions, etc.

      how long would it be able to be flammable? it was 6 hours from the time the tear gas went in till the fire, they're almost 100% unrelated imo just due to the fact that there were 6 hours of time between them but I'm aware that it's possible I could be wrong and am willing to accept that if that's the case that's why I ask.

      More like psychopaths. Movie villains at least are typically depicted as having some kind of class, or at least view killing as a pragmatic means to an end. They don't stand over the still-smouldering corpses of the defenseless women and children they murdered to take trophy photos. Seriously, look it up. They would tell the press they 'felt awful' over "how things turned out", but one look at the smiling faces in those photos proves that a lie.

However, the government were the villains. They had numerous chances to avoid casualties. They had numerous chances to tell the true story. They had numerous chances to act like decent human beings. Instead, they wanted a story that painted them as the good guys. Instead of finding a problem that needed solving, they created their own.

They killed the babies!" Most of the classrooms already had the news on because that morning was intense. The fact that the Luby's shooting had only happened 1 and 1/2 years prior, made that happening in Central Texas even more painful. We all thought they would negotiate not blow the compound up.

      If there's one good thing about the technology of today, with TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, etc, making it so easy to access and share information, it's that I don't think something like this would be as easy to cover up as it was back then. The people trapped in the compound wouldn't have been forced to rely on the people who were out for their blood to communicate with the outside world. They just wanted to explain their side. They knew they hadn't done anything to warrant what was happening to them. I would hope, at least, if something like this happened again, then the people inside could have recorded and uploaded videos to public accounts or to their friends and family, showing everyone what was happening to them. The lack of public knowledge at the time is what allowed the government to completely control the narrative during and after this incident, and it's why so many people today STILL don't know what actually went on there. As absolutely retarded as it sounds, maybe TikTok could have saved them.

    As a part of training in the US military, the recruit must endure being gassed. I know this because I am an Air Force Veteran and went through the "gas chamber", as an informed, consenting, volunteering, adult. Tear gas is horrible. Even when you know what is happening and that it will be over soon, it's awful. Imagining children and frightened civilians being psychologically tortured, shot at, gassed, burned, suffocated, and being subjected to other atrocities is terrifying. Even more that it happened in the United States. There are no words.
