244 years ago the revolution was kicking off.

Our founders fought over taxation and freedom. We could power L.A. generating it from their spinning copses!
26 years ago brave Federal Law Enforcement Officers in armored vehicles chose
Patriot's Day to burn 17 children and most of their parents alive in a
church near Waco, Texas.
You've probably never seen these names:

Daylan Lord Gent, 3
Paiges Gent, 2
Bobbie Lane Koresh, 2
Cyrus Howell, 8
Star Howell, 6
Serenity Sea Jones, 4
Chica Jones, 1
Little One Jones, 1
(They were twins)
Crystal Martinez, 3
Isaiah Martinez, 4
Joseph Martinez, 8
Abigail Martinez, 11
Startle Summers, 1
Hollywood Sylvia, 2
Mayanah Schneider, 2
Melisa Morrison, 8
Newborns
Summers & Little,
(Born into the flames
as their mothers died)
How did we get to our current situation.

Branch Banninions of course.
All very familiar names in the tug
Nut job. Alleged child abuser (that NEVER happens in cults living in guarded encampments).
The siege took two MONTHS to play out. Is your contention there was no probable cause to search the compound? I'm all for privacy but I tend to assume that the authorities have reason to mount up a charge on a group led by a screw ball like Koresh.
You weren't there; I wasn't there. We're betting. My bet is on Koresh and his fellow crazies killing themselves and setting the place on fire.
I am very confident though that if this happened under a R Admin's watch you'd be singing your "if you don't do anything g wrong you have nothing to hide" Cooper song and dance."
And Koresh was crazy as a loon and a child abuser and other really bad cult leader shit. 81% chance he lit the fuse
They could have picked him up in town anytime they wanted. That's a part of what was a real tragedy for the kids
ATF wanted to flex some muscle because it was budget time so they went high profile and got their asses kicked. Once agents went down there was no turning back
Don't dishonor the legacy of the patriots of Lexington Green with a thread about Waco. That's just silly.
I wasn't there. But if you calculate the amount of tear gas required for that structure you'll find that many times more gas was inserted than required. That doesn't just make it more effective it makes it flammable. And when tear gas burns it produces a form of cyanide gas.
There were children involved and no further threat to anyone. They could have left a guy in a lawn chair to watch the place.
Kids are of the utmost importance. HTH
Waco was done as a stunt to obtain greater funding from congress. One never ever notified the press of such activities let alone having them set up to film it.
Ruby Ridge was lunacy and illegal.
Hell I don't know other than if the Feds are coming in I wish they would just cut to the chase and use tanks and or missiles.
Every fuckin' time.
IMO, Ruby Ridge was far more outrageous.
