My point was that no, you probably would not want to even go near his.

It was seized by the 4th Infantry upon the liberation of Germany, shipped back to America, and then sold as Army surplus to someone in North Carolina in 1955.

His estate tried to put it up for auction on ebay about 10 years ago. Ebay refused to list it. As a 540K itself it's estimated to be worth about $7m

With it's history and lineage? No one wants it.

Not me but I guarantee someone wants it. And would pay a lot for it.

People can show it off as "this is David Koresh's Camaro" and profit from it while those families lost loved ones due to his actions. That's pretty disgusting.

When the 3 girls missing for 10 years in Cleveland were rescued they tore the creep's house down and shredded every sliver of wood, on site as it was demolished, into mulch, then hauled it away to an undisclosed dump with a police escort. They were not even going to risk one square inch of material from that house being sold on ebay.

But hey, the house had nothing to do with it right?

You'd have to be some kind of sick freak to even want to sit in that Camaro.

I blame both sides for all the people that were killed. That’s my opinion but no I don’t want to sit in the car either. We all are entitled to our opinions and viewpoints about things but that seems to be rapidly changing now. I respect yours and everyone else’s opinions here on this forum.👍

Henry Ford was a known Anti-Semite and before the war supported Nazi Germany.

Should no-one ever buy or drive a Ford product?

This anti-Koresh's car mentality is the same cancel-culture train of thought that will end our Constitution, Bill of Rights and freedoms because George Washington was once a slave owner.

Learn from the past, but don't destroy the present to avenge old wrongs.

No one should every buy a Ford - this is true.

'Cancel culture' is as American as apple pie, though. The only difference today is that we've come up with a snazzy term for it.

And let's not forget Mitsubishi and all the lovely things they did in 1941.

Big difference between cancel culture and what Goering and Koresh did.

My lifelong baseball team the Indians succumbed to this nonsense, and I'm pretty g-d pi**ed about it. We all are in Cleveland. So I know all about the cancel culture and f'g hate it with a passion.

But don't ever confuse Chief Wahoo, or the Indians, or Dr. Seuss, or Henry Ford being an anti-Semite, for the evil incarnates of Goering and Koresh.

Yes and no. We can't apply stipulations to things based off our individual wants or needs. The Indians..example A. There ARE other baseball teams that you could follow, so why the big deal? A car happened to be owned by an infamous man, just like that team happened to hold a name with negative associations (by some).

Another example, not to bring race into this... but what about some of these southern mansions that were built/owned by men (/families) who owned/killed how many hundreds of people (slaves)? Should those properties be demolished without a second thought? In some instances, the Koresh history would seem quite piddly in comparison. I'm not trying to argue with anyone specifically, but things become complicated rather quickly when making these types of decisions.
