20 years later, no public memorials, ceremonies mark Mount Carmel saga

Via I can't remember....:(

 TV series on Branch Davidian shootout to film in New Mexico

Dated

 After a community is seared by unthinkable violence, the shock and grief usually give way to the impulse to carve the memory 
into stone.

A memorial is a community’s attempt to punctuate tragedy, to close it with a period, or perhaps an exclamation point or a question mark.

Public memorials have honored the victims and shaped the storyline of terrorist bombings in Oklahoma City and New York City, of a president assassinated in Dallas, and of mass shootings across the country, including in Killeen and Austin.

    There might not be a physical memorial, but that event is remembered by many, not forgotten.
    Wakened up by it. A sad, rude, wake up showing what TPTB are capable of.
    Young and dumb, watching the first day and the end, my concience telling me this shouldn't have happened in a "free" country.
