Jihadists are doing it with bombs.
Holmes was prepared to do it with bombs too.
Apparently fertilizer works pretty well too...
.
Narrator: In A.D. 2101, war was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
(spoken in the Flash animation as Someone set up us the bomb)
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you !!
CATS: How are you gentlemen !!
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say !!
If Andrew Kehoe hadn’t had access to dynamite, he would have used fertilizer and no one batted an eye when he bought it because he was a farmer.
We must never forget that, and don't give him credit for not succeeding in the full scope of his attempt. That'd be like letting the JIhadis off the hook because they only killed 3,000+ Rather than the 100,000+ they intended.
This guy is one bad dude.
Bombs, fire, disease, stampedes, avalanches, poison, starvation, wars, ship sinkings, explosives...anything they would use nowadays other than modern weapons.
They siezed or burned crops. They dragged people out of their homes and marched them to death. They burned their homes in the dead of winter. Modern variations on the theme persist.
Politics.
Guy Fawkes used barrels of gunpowder placed under Westminster. Before that, you pretty much had to have an army of your own.
I read somewhere that most of the casualties were from Holme’s shotgun and not the AR-15 which jammed. Cannot find the link now.
Certainly if this was true the media would love to suppress this information as it doesn’t fit into the “Assault Rifle” meme.

The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, four other adults and the bomber himself; at least 58 people were injured. Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–14 years of age [1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in U.S. history.

Branch Davidian Slaughter - Waco Texas
In 1993 The ATF slaughtered seventy-six people including more than 20 children, two pregnant women and their unborn children. They used M1 Abrams tanks, Bradley fightiing vehicles and unknown (to us) military ordinance to destroy and burn the compound sending 76 people to a horrible death.
Biggest mass murder in NYC history before 9/11 performed with gasoline bomb
Interesting info on mass killings.k

An absolute fact, Politicians have killed more people than any single thing on the planet other than maybe disease or natural disasters. While they may not have pulled the trigger or lit the fuse they are the direct cause, and you NEVER see one of FKRS on the front line. Just my opinion you understand.
and gave her father 50 wacks
when she saw what she had done
she gave her mother 51.
Killers always find a way to kill.
History is chock full of mass murders before and without firearms.
What it isn’t full of are example of weaker individuals successfully defending themselves before firearms.
The key here is not that she had an axe, but that she had an axe and they didn't.
