The Branch Davidians were a looney group of religious nuts who thought David Koresh was God.

Do you think that the heretics (religious nuts) should be burned together with their children? I do not think that it was the proper procedure in the Middle Ages. As far as I remember the heretics had their day in the court and they could repent. Their children were spared (unless they were big enough and persisted in the heresy). Am I wrong?

Many moons ago, my father gave me a piece of advice that I still carry with me today.
He said "Son, never argue with an idiot - you'll be wasting your time and you'll always lose.

Irish laddie you're a friggen idiot.

I don't understand all the Waco Loving Freaks...

Koresh and the rest of the child abusers were served with a legal warrant...They attacked and killed police oficers when they could have simply complied.

Then they burned themselves alive.

What the hell is wrong with you Waco Loving Freaks? Don't group Freepers with yourselves, I'm a Freeper but I'm NOT one of you.

You are ignorant about what really happened in Waco. Do some homework before you express your opinions.

As a Freeper and a conservative, I can't believe the load of hooey you express about Waco. The Branch Davidians were a looney group of religious nuts who thought David Koresh was God. The Justice Dept had evidence of federal criminal offenses by Koresh and the group and went to arrest the dumb bastard, when he killed himself and everyone else inside by starting a fire.

This event was probably one of the only things the Clintoon administration did right. Please don't feign "martyrdom" for a bunch of kooks.

Exactly RIGHT!

And don't forget about the Federal Agents who were MURDERED by these Branch Davidians when they tried to do their job.

All these Government Haters tend to forget that little tidbit. Or, is it legal to shoot and kill police officers when they come to serve you a warrant???

I know one thing for sure...

If those child abusing Branch Davidian Kooks had NOT MURDERED Federal Agents while they were only doing their job...THE event that caused the whole mess, NO ONE would have died.

Well, they wouldn't have died unil all of them pulled a Heaven's Gate, anyway...

Government Hating, Branch Davidian Loving Freaks give Conservatives, and more importantly...Freepers, a bad name. I view them in the same light as the Freaks who agree with Cynthia McKinney.

But that's just my opinion...

I suggest that you two ignorant JBT bootlickers go here....

Alanmo Girl Archives to acquaint yourselves with the facts. You make yourselves look foolish by parroting the fed.gov lies about the massacre.

It is a crying shame that there are STILL Freepers, even, who imagine that a warrant was presented at Waco or that someone knocked on a door.

This peaceful religious community was shot to pieces by helicopters from the air, 15 minutes before anyone ever came by land, and then it was to mount an assault with automatic weapons. The front door was standing open, with Koresh and his father-in-law in the door, when the BATF launched its hail of bullets. The warrant was back at their office in Dallas.

There are about two dozen posters on this thread that are so ignorant they should hide their heads, and never post again.

Yeah, I'm going to believe some propaganda piece by yet another Government Hating, Branch Davidian Loving Freak. Is that the video that shows the tank using a FLAME THROWER????

Seriously...No disrespect intended to you personally. I don't know you past this thread. I am just sick and tired of being grouped with these freaks just because I'm a Freeper.

As already stated....I consider them in the same league as the Cynthia McKinney Fans.

February-April, 1992

Between February and April, 1992 Koresh allowed Texas Department of Protection and Regulatory Services and McLennan County Sheriff's Department personnel to inspect Mount Carmel on three occasions. - The Davidian Massacre by Carol Moore

April 30, 1992
The child abuse investigation was closed.

You really should read up on the facts before you open your squeal-hole.

If you don't already work for BATF, why don't you apply? Otherwise, you are kissing their asses for free!
