Here is the thing with that incident...

They tried to make them freaks, and it did not stick, they tried to hit them with gun charges and it did not stick, they tried to make it a sex cult and it did not stick.

Finally they accused Koresh of diddling the kids and sent in tanks to kill the kids

It’s been okay, not great. It’ll be the last X-Files ever made, apparently, so hopefully that’ll be the only political garbage (the Cigarette Smoking Man indicates he was behind Donald Trump in the opening sequence of the first episode, but it was in the context of him manipulating US history for decades, which includes him claiming to be JFK’s real killer—CSM is a very unreliable narrator).

‘In a November 2016 interview with newspaper, Metro New York, Shannon voiced his political disdain for both U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and those senior citizens who voted for him with the following statement:

‘”There’s a lot of old people who need to realize they’ve had a nice life, and it’s time for them to move on because they’re the ones who go out and vote for these assholes. If you look at the young people, between 18 and 25, if it was up to them, Hillary [Clinton] would have been president. No offense to the seniors out there. My mom’s a senior citizen. But if you’re voting for Trump, it’s time for the urn.”’

I remember WACO very well.

The slow moving of the goal posts by sicko liberals was disgusting

I remember it. Cannot stand to watch it and to think of the children who were burned to death there. I still wonder what that horrific murderous act of our government was really all about.

...”Wasn’t that Janet Reno’s operation?”...

Yes, it was Reno. She also carried out the late night seizure of little Elian Gonzalez, from his paternal relatives in Miami, to deport him back to his Cuban father. Elian’s Mother drowned in her attempt to get him to relatives in the US. The leftist ideological push in the Democratic party was very evident during the Clinton administration. If you do not remember that era, the documentary, “Scandalous,” is a look back over Clinton’s career. It airs on FOXNEWS on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET. The first episode has aired, with 6 to follow. I watched the first and from my memory, it was extremely accurate in it’s depiction of those early events.

Come to think of it, that was the last time I laughed at SNL and Will Ferrell.

I well remember how enamored my female co-workers were with BJ through it all.

Janet Reno had no tanks at her command. Look higher.

I lived the Reno/Slick Willy nightmare and do not wish to see someone’s “interpretation” of the murders by The US Government.

“The Federal Siege at Ruby Ridge”,
A book written by Randy Weaver concerning the murder of his wife, kid and dog by federal agents.
For murdering Mrs. Weaver, Lon Horiuchi an FBI sharpshooter was given a promotion.
He went form this murder to Waco where he was seen shooting folks there too.

It was the direct cause of the bombing in Oklahoma City two years later on April 19 1995.

Speaking of that; I remember how quickly they put the bomber to death. Surprisingly so, considering how long the average stay on death row is.
Another FReeper said something about the FBI really fouling up the investigation — could it be that the execution was carried out so quick to prevent things from coming to light?

There is no hero in 138 murders in okc . There is just revenge.
