Man City 4-1 Arsenal | De Bruyne (2), Stones, Haaland Goals | Premier League

Manchester City are two points off top spot in the Premier League after a storming 4-1 victory over leaders Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. Kevin De Bruyne’s seventh minute strike gave Pep Guardiola’s side and a raucous City support an early boost before John Stones’ header on the stroke of half-time doubled the lead. De Bruyne made it three early in the second period with a measured stroke after turning the ball over in Arsenal’s half. The Belgian was supplied excellently by Erling Haaland for both of his goals. Arsenal defender Rob Holding claimed one back in the closing stages to give the visitors a flicker of hope. However, Haaland completed the scoring in added time by squeezing a left-footed finish under Aaron Ramsdale. It's the Norwegian's 33rd strike of the season and takes him to a 38-game Premier League record, surpassing Mo Salah's tally of 32 in 2017/18. The victory completes the league double over our title rivals and extends our excellent Premier League form to nine wins in our last ten matches. With seven games to go and two games in hand on Arsenal, the destiny of what would be a third successive Premier League title and five in the last six seasons is in our hands.

What really happened at Waco

A new Netflix documentary shows how the seeds of political polarization that roil our culture today were planted at Waco. https://reason.com/video/2023/03/21/filmmaker-tiller-russell-humanizes-what-happened-at-waco/ -- David Koresh was a spiritual leader who saw himself as the final prophet in a world that was coming to an end. Though Koresh and his followers were largely peaceful, they were amassing weapons as a way to defend themselves when the apocalypse came. Numbering about 100, the Branch Davidians lived a quiet existence in a compound known as Mount Carmel, located just outside of Waco, Texas. In 1993, the federal government obtained a warrant to raid their headquarters on the grounds that they possessed illegal weapons. When they showed up on February 28 of that year, federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) thought they would be in and out. But the Branch Davidians resisted. Four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians were killed during the initial raid, and after a 51-day standoff, the siege ended with the burning of Mount Carmel. Seventy-six Branch Davidians—including 25 children—perished after being trapped inside. Now 30 years since the historic standoff, director of Waco: American Apocalypse, Tiller Russell, tells the story of Waco from a very human perspective. The docuseries features never-before-seen footage from the FBI hostage negotiation room as well as interviews of Branch Davidians, FBI hostage negotiators, FBI hostage rescue team members, and reporters who were on the ground during the siege. Waco was the largest gunfight on American soil since the Civil War, and many people point to it as a pivotal moment in American history that created new levels of distrust in the federal government.
