Naps, sometimes communication is not a good thing. I think you need to digress. JMO
Benghazi and Waco share similarities - betrayal, weapons fire pouring into a burning building, liberals who can’t see a problem...
“.. and arrested him on his jog”.
If I remember correctly, Darren, didn’t Koresh leave the compound to go shopping in town quite frequently? I remember that bit being discussed at the time. My question was if they wanted to arrest him.. why not wait till he left the compound?
And power-hungry ugly lesbians.
Sorry, but that has no basis in fact whatsoever. These folks were no danger to anyone else. If they'd wanted to arrest David Koresh, they could have done so the Sunday previous to the initial raid, when he was at the same gun range as the ATF. The local sheriff is on record as saying that all they'd had to to was to have him call Mr. Koresh and he'd come to his office. Everything, from the very beginning was a complete abuse of government power from the very beginning, that ultimately resulted in the murder of over 90 people (the headline is wrong. They apparently left out the 17 children killed by the CS gas that was pumped in to the building to act as an accelorant.
These people had no reason whatsoever to think, after the initial raid that killed and wounded several of them that they would be treated like human beings by Fedzilla. They were obviously correct in that assumption.
This, in itself makes no sense, as they had at least one, possibly two people there who were class-3 dealers.
That,[get to shoot down unarmed children, women, and men] in my opinion was what the BLM goons thought they were going to get to do when they went to Bundy' land in Nevada. Once they saw that it was not going to be as easy as they were led to believe it would be, all of a sudden, the thought of watching people's head explode through a telescopic sight lens lost its appeal to them.
Carol Moore’s collection of Waco information was outstanding back in the day. Somewhere around here, I have an archive of every single article published by the Dallas Morning News during the siege and murder of those people.
Some reports say Holder aided and abetted the Clinton/Reno Waco cover up.
When then-US Attorney, James W. Blagg, dared to publicly question the Department of Justice cover-up of the Waco/Branch Dividian episode, he was personally removed from the investigation by Holder.
It must have occurred to them that their own heads might be in someone else's sights.
Totally agree. My point, with all due respect to your point, was that the feds claimed the raid was for the $200 stamp and that was the official reason for going in. As you pointed out, even that makes no sense as they did not find weapons without stamps and there were members of the cult that had licenses.
Which I understand was never actually PROVEN, BTW. The NRA tried to get hold of the guns that were supposedly converted to have them examined by an independent organization, Chuck the Schmuck Schumer threw a hissy fit, the guns were impounded, and never physically inspected. So the story goes.
Thank you, Liz. It’s wonderful having our own encyclopedia right here on FR!
Because they were.
How many times could they have simply arrested Koresh when he went into town?
Blush.
That took all the fun out of it for them. With that thought, it was not near as funny as it was a minute before.
Democrats like murdering folks.
Anyone that they figure are defenseless is fine.
Babies (born or not yet), old folks, political opponents, etc etc...never got over their slave owner days or Jim Crowed days...but hey! plenty of others have done similar...Hitler, Mao, Lenin/Stalin, Pol Pot, Clinton/Reno, Obama/Holder,...the list goes on.
Evil is, as evil does.
duh?
