The Wako Siege is a good one about the US too..

I mean, it was an egregious show of force but I'd hardly put it anywhere near the top.

egregious show of force

I'd argue Ruby Ridge was a lot worse

Literally not even top 100 of US government massacres.

You mean the ones where a bunch of crazy people used children as human shields and then let them burn to death over their paranoid bullshit?

"Let them burn to death" is a really bootlick-y way to phrase "were burned alive when the FBI launched illegal incendiary tear gas cannisters into a building they knew had children inside."

paranoid bullshit

Is it paranoia if you're right?
