At least 250 people were killed -- most of them women and children.
The perpetrators were soldiers from the U.S. Army.
It was originally called The Battle of Wounded Knee, and the U.S. government even took the ridiculous step of awarding 20 of those soldiers the Medal of Honor.
They don't call it a "battle" anymore, because it wasn't much of a battle at all. It was an outright massacre.
Today, that event stands as a perfect example of WHY WE NEED THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
Excellent. Thanks for reminding me.
BS. 31 soldiers died and another 39 were wounded. And easy for you to make a pronouncement from your living room. Those guys were in a unit that was wiped out by the same tribe 16 years before. It was freezing outside and they had been out in it for days. Everyone was exhausted and on a hair trigger when an Indian fired the orning shot.
