Ep. 012 - Remember Waco

Why is murder ok when the state initiates it? In this weeks episode, Logan and Matt continue to explore the separation between individual and the state, particularly when it comes to murder and initiation of force. They explore the tragedy of Waco while attempting to put in perspective - the state murdered 80+, 25 of whom were children, trying to justify their existence as a branch. The ATF's missteps cost people their lives, and no one really seems to care. They also pop into some foreign policy with the recent bombings in Syria, and rant and ramble on about the military-industrial complex and blowback.
