No matter how much the media harps on the Oklahoma City bombing, let us all remember that it all started over a bunch of fake hand grenades ("complaint department, take a number") that some UPS dumbass reported to the federal government. Let us all remember that 79 men, women, girls, and boys lost their lives because a bunch of jack-booted thugs wanted to increase their visibility to Congress ahead of budget hearings for their bureau of tax inspectors.

I guess the bottom line for me is, I think the government should stay out of people's business. I'm not a goof ball like Koresh was (he was really out there), but if anyone attempts to enter my home, they'll get what Koresh gave. A man's home and family are not to be messed with.

So simply being religious nuts, justifies what the government did to them?

Alleged child abuse, justifies killing the children to save them?

I guess you've all forgotten the lies, the cover up...the FLIR footage that clearly shows men firing automatic weapons into the building as it burned down, oh wait that was "solar flares"

If they simply had the guts to say, yes we deliberately set fire to the compound and shot all those trying to flee the fire, well at least they'd be honest.

I suggest you all watch this documentary:

You'd think I'd get tired of being in a perpetual state of pissed off ed.

WACO demonstrated that the feds can get away with murder. All they have to do is follow the play book of the racist, but instead of tossing out the race card the intended victims get called all kinds of things. Whatever happens to be the latest 'scary' bad guy. Most often it's red-neck, racists, kkk, arsenal owning, gun shooting, quad riding, moonshine drinking, marlboro smoking, white guys. Or it's gheto pimp drug crazed sex starved balcks, or illegal drug crazed sex starved aztlan mexicans, or baby poppin' hoochie momma soap opera prescription drug steak buying ling driving welfare momma.

Operation SHOW TIME demonstrated that they can turn America against our own with innuendo and lies. Others in history have mastered propoganda, but we've taken it to a whole new level.

All the while we (gun owners) sit and declare "I will take out everyone who tries to take mine. And I will defend my brothers". The feds decide someone has gotten to uppidy for their own good and decide to make an example for the rest of us. The first thing they do is say theu did something illegal, then they say they were into dugs, then they say they were into kiddie porn. Then they laugh as we jump all over ouselves in order to put some distance between us the 'good guys' and that 'bad guy' so we don't get tarnished with the same broad brush. Claiming ignorance. "I knew he like guns, he helped me with several of mine, but I didn't know he liked to smoke crack and kiddie pole. Ewwwww. I'm glad he got nabbed by the feds. Funny though, I've known him my whole life. He lived with me f or a while after his divorce and I never knew. Damn those bastards sure are sneaky."

Regardless if they were nutjobs, goofballs, or whatever else people want to call them, I've never read anything about them being there against their will. They were living their lives by themselves, peacefully, doing what they chose to do, not bothering anyone else. I find it very ironic that people will label these folks nutjobs, for having certain religious beliefs, and say they got what they deserved. But as long as it's a religion that's accepted by society, such as christianity, then it's ok to believe the unbelievable.

So it is ATF's job to investigate and prosecute family law in localities? Help me out here.

When did a (at the time) Treasury Dept. agency get jurisdiction over local family law and child protective services in a state and town? I'm dense.

I agree. But that seems to be an accepted thing in todays society. How many people cheat on their spouse? How many "swingers" are there out there? I don't think it's right, but it's their business.

I feel sorry for the kids. The parents made their choice to die when they fired on Federal Agents serving a legal search warrant. At that point, they chose to get themselves killed along with endangering their kids.

I watched the coverage of the initial siege and the final assault, was quite young at the time. All the media coverage made it cut and dried, these were criminals that got what they deserved. Then I learned more about jurisdictions, and saw Waco - The Rules of Engagement (www.imdb.com/title/tt0120472/)on the History Channel. I watched it thinking I'd see the usual anti government propaganda, but instead saw a reasoned documentary that showed some of Koresh's speeches/video, and coverage of the Congressional hearings into the final standoff.

All I know is, if Chuckie Schumer is on one side of things...the truth is on the other. ATF may not have set out to murder...but the thing was one big clusterfuck.

Don't quote me out of context,

I never said anything to lead you to believe that I thought the assault on the Branch Davidian compound was justified.

He sure did.

And he used ATF Battering Ram Tank

Fed Helicopters

CS gas canisters

Justice Department Media Relations for the press release about the raid.

And the Stormtroopers were his idea too.

The ATf was only there on scene to make the coffee and talk to Katie Couric or schedule press briefings.

The rest was Koresh's master plan to make it LOOK LIKE the Fed Gov was raiding and then burning down the whole place.

+1, since when was the ATF given power to investigate child molestation allegations? Here in Texas that's usually CPS's job. BTW I don't think anybody who's serious will not agree that Koresh and many of his followers were kooks, no doubt. But Slick Willie and his JBT's were looking to lay down the law and boy did they get it! They could have easily got Koresh anytime they wanted since he was in town quite a bit, also the local sheriff was on good terms with him and to his dying day said if the Gov. had let him handle it all that chaos could have been prevented.

The Feds lied about there being a meth lab.

The Feds lied about using the CS gas.

The Feds somehow "lost" possibly the most important piece of evidence they say supported their version of the story, the front door.

And now I am to believe them when they tell me that they pulled up to the front of the CHURCH with a horse trailer full of para-military ninja suited agents with fully automatic weapons to simply serve a search warrant.

BTW, when did it become a crime to be a cult leader in this country?

The Branch-Davidian sect of the 7th Day Adventists had been in Waco since 1935.
They were not some sort of overnight religious cult.
