Why did this get out of control? It started with very serious paranoia by the FBI and the ATF about religious groups and Y2K. They thought these groups were going to go off the deep end. Didn't happen, did it. Then the Clinton's used the situation to cover up a pair of murders. But they determined witnesses and bullet holes coming from the outside would mess up the story. So Hillary (phsycho in chief) gave the order to "Burn it". No evidence no witnesses.
The left wingers are very dangerous because they think the right wingers are just as evil as they are, but more so. And they can justify their evil because of the perceived greater good.
