The bloody history of April 20: Mass murders, a ‘fake news’ war and environmental disaster
Washington Post ^ | 4/20/2018 | Washington Post

Posted on 04/15/2021 10:37:10 AM PDT by srmanuel

I have a birthday next week so I look for stories like this every year, so many crazy things have happened in the days leading up to and including April 20..... The article is full of examples, for example, Adolf Hitler was born on 4/20, the mass shooting at Columbine High School happened on 4/20, the government murdered the Branch Dividians on 4/19, Timothy McVeigh set off the bomb at the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma on 4/19. I could go on and on..... keep you eyes on Minneapolis for next 4/20.... Closing arguments in the Derek Chauvin Trial are scheduled for next Monday 4/19, it's conceivable the verdict will come down on 4/20 if not surely sometime next week, regardless of the outcome rioting is likely to happen all over the country.... Who knows what else might happen next week.... If history repeats itself as it has many times before, next week is shaping up to be really crazy....

The last couple of weeks in April and a good part of the Mad Month of May seem to have a lot craziness happening.

On a mellower note, 4/20 is also “Weed Day”. The date is taken from the number 420, urban slang for marijuana.

And no, I do not partake of the wacky weed. (I got the above information from Hunter Biden.)

April 19, 1775, British Tyrant Murders Americans in Cowardly Attack at Lexington in vain attempt to Seize their Arms.

I agree, just saying maybe it’s coincidence maybe it’s real, who knows but a lot of crazy things happen around 4/20, so next week could be really wild...

The Columbine was not a coincidence, the whack jobs were celebrating Hitler's birthday.

I understand that but my point is that a lot of crazy things happen around 4/20, Columbine was certainly one of those....

the coincidence is why have all these things happened around 4/20, not is each individual event a coincidence...

Wasn’t McVeigh supposedly avenging the Waco incident when he bombed the federal building?

April 19 is when all hell breaks lose. 420 is for inhaling and moving forward.

April 19, 1775. The Battles of Lexington and Concord. American Revolution begins!

And I noticed over thirty five years ago that this date is quietly forgotten by many newspapers.

I remember the ABC news report that day for everyone to be on the look out for “six middle Eastern men, with swarthy complexions, wearing blue jogging suits who were seen fleeing the area” just before the blast.

When you really look into the next few days, one crazy event after another happened....some fairly small, some like the start of the revolutionary war were monumental...
