The image below was passed through a glitch filter with Photoshop Camera, then later extended using Movavi video software.
We're at the 30th anniversary of what Americans know as the Waco Massacre. For most Americans, it was the end of ever believing that the Federal Government had their best interests in mind.
A massacre of the truth, of lives, of trust. Everything here was wrong, everybody was wrong. But, ultimately, who has the greater legal authority and fire power? And how do they wield it?
They could have talked to the local sheriff first about Koresh but they didn't. They had no interest in letting locals handle it. It was a big, brutal show by Federal agents. Everyone was wrong. Except the children. But they're dead, too.

The image below was a first draft. 16 inches by 20 inches, I'm sorry I haven't converted that to metric. The design is way too busy although I thought the individual elements like the house and fire were good. What wasn't good was that quote, an anti-establishment bit of rhetoric that seeks here to be profound but comes across as pretentious. Let people make up their own minds about what this image represents.
And here the central figure is enlarged and everything gets pixelated. But I don't really care about that; in print it looks rough and ragged like Koresh should have looked like. Especially at the end. The music is by Massive Attack with no copyright claimed.
