Did the Branch Davidians deserve ATF’s attack on their home in Waco?

The boys drink and review Hoffbrau’s Maibock, then discuss the Branch Davidians, the ATF assault, and David Koresh.

How should we understand these sincere believers who are a little nutty and often quite wicked? Are they simply fakes, or is it more complicated than that?

What did the folk in Waco do to deserve this no-knock, armed raid? Any if the Davidians were expecting and preparing for an armed conflict with the government, why in the heck would the ATF fulfill that prophecy for them?

Did the government go too far? And who was at fault for the fire that destroyed the compound?

From time to time I see articles about how some organization or other has made a decision “after carefully reviewing the science.”

I call BS.

What they mean is, “we’re scared to death of making a decision that will anger Karen.”

“COVID-19 is a new disease and we are still learning about how it spreads,” says the CDC’s recently updated guidelines. (Source: The CDC says coronavirus ‘does not spread easily’ on surfaces or objects. Here’s what we know.

Or, IOW, “the science” is all over the map and nobody’s really sure.

Does sanitizing surfaces and wearing gloves do any good? Yes, no, maybe, we’re not sure. Ask again next week.

Does wearing a mask help? No, then yes, then … wait a week and it will be no again.

Responding to this mess is a very complicated dance. Obviously we want to listen to the experts, but that bugle’s been making an indistinct sound. Sometimes it sounds like charge, sometimes retreat, and sometimes taps.

Decisions are (and should be) made politically, not scientifically.

The boys drink and review a low-calorie IPA: The One-y from Oscar Blues. Then they discuss outrage.

We hear a lot about “Karen” these days. Some people are always judging everybody for everything. But in the west, Karen is the exception that we mock.

In the Muslim world, everybody is upset about everything — big or small — all the time. Pigweed has had enough, and the boys discuss.

Maybe there’s a difference between “virtue signaling” and “shame signaling.”

While the boys drink Crowhill’s audacious braggot, they discuss some of Prager’s recent outrageous statements and the social media censorship of Prager University.

Prager suggests that the worldwide lockdown may be the greatest mistake in human history. Quite a claim, which the boys evaluate.

The next big issue about Prager is his censorship on YouTube and other social media outlets.

Who gave them the right to do this?

Many thanks to Burgess Video for putting this together.
