Seems April 19 seems to be very popular date for  armed conflicts & revolts:


* American Revolution Began at Lexington & Concord April 19, 1775
* Jews begin attacks on Nazi forces in Warsaw Ghetto Uprising April 19, 1943
* Bay of Pigs Invasion ended in failure April 19, 1961
* Heavily-armed Militant Black Panthers take over Cornell Univ. April 19, 1969
* BATF storms Branch Davidians at Waco April 19, 1993
* Oklahoma City Bombing April 19, 1995


Any predictions for April 19, 2002?

Hmm... is a few Israelis and a few Palestinians get killed a safe enough bet?

All that is visible must grow beyond itself into the realm of the invisible.

It has begun.

I think a fire would not be too unbelievable, considering the dryness in alot of areas and that it will be a Friday. The weather has been nice enough for folks to head for the great outdoors. But then I expect this every weekend.

I predict the British Royal Marines, in concert with the U.S.'s finest, will bring death, mayhem and destruction on our enemies in Afghanistan......again.

April 19, 2000 - Miami - the Elian Gonzalez standoff - As the case of 6-year-old Cuban refugee Elian Gonzalez hurtles to a confrontation between Janet Reno and the boy's Miami relatives, news reports speculate that Reno will not send U.S. Marshals to remove Elian tomorrow (April 19). The dark legacy of the Waco Incident hangs heavily over the Clinton Administration and Janet Reno's Department of Justice. Members of the Cuban-American community in Miami have vowed to resist any attempt to physically remove Elian from his Miami relatives.

Too much crap here… the only thing "19 April" about the Elian Gonzales case was the Eleventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals decision.

And BATF didn't storm the Branch Davidians on this day, that was 28 February. HRT incinerated them on 19 April.

We have to register for fall classes here tomarrow, with too many students for too few classes that is always a conflaguration of sorts.

I wouldn't call it a "Major Conflagration", but it is my Anniversary.  Of course with all that bad stuff happening on the 19th, maybe I should get her a gun for a present! [:D]

BATF, FBI, HRT, US Army, Delta Force... like it really makes a difference. [rolleyes]

It's all just "crap" anyway right Dean?


BTW... His name is "Gonzalez" not "Gonzales"

April 19th 1995 is also known as the date Snell was executed, and those that recognize that call it... "The Great Day of The Rope".
