Reply to comment by AskingAndQuestioning in MGM Resorts Sells Land That Was Site of Las Vegas Massacre by JPPT1974

The more that I think about it the more I think that Pearl Harbor and wounded knee are very similar. A surprise attack by a military of a nation just showed up and attacked another nation.

You’re trying way, way too hard for something that is entirely irrelevant to this situation. Go somewhere else.

Lol at telling me to go somewhere else, your username is “askingandquestioning” obviously a misnomer.

I questioned your logic, researched very briefly about the most fatal us military battle, confirmed Pearl Harbor wasn’t a deadly masa shooting, and answered your brilliant questions. Explain the misnomer to me? Quite the “nou”, my friend.

My friend, I am merely pointing out that calling wounded knee a “mass shooting” leads to every battle ever on us soil being a mass shooting. Therefor either wounded knee isn’t a mass shooting or if it is it isn’t the most deadly. Pearl Harbor is just a good comparison for wounded knee because it wasn’t a battle planned for by both sides and the countries weren’t at war yet.

Calling Wounded Knee a “battle” is where you’re mistaken. And while we weren’t “at-war” on paper with Japan before Pearl Harbor, we were funding the Allies (hence the attack). Saying we weren’t“in a war” before Pearl Harbor is like saying the Cold War wasn’t a war.
