The ATF, FBI and other government thugs massacred 76 American women, children and men with assault weapons, tanks, helicopters and machine guns in 1993 in Waco,TX. Then they set the church on fire in which the innocent American citizens were taking refuge from the government thugs!
If anyone needs their assault weapons taken from them, it is the U.S. Government thugs!!
Actually, from the IR footage I have, they did.
The fire started at one place, from CS canisters fired into the building. It then raced down a long corridor structure running almost the length of the building, like a fireball, before branching out and firing more rooms and even popping out some windows.
BATF was up for Congressional hearings in which it expected to make a case for more funding. It wanted to walk in with the media and nation patting it on the back for a job well done. It needed to find a threat, eliminate it, and bask in glory.
The BATF found a phony threat and executed 76 Americans without trial, all in the name of more funding.
Oh, and this is the same bureaucracy that gave us Fast and Furious.
People need to realize that Janet Reno ran that massacre, through her #2 man ERIC HOLDER !
Sorry, you’re wrong..Koresh was never charged with child abuse, nor did he have multiple wives. As for the warrant
it was a weapons charge....
As for who fired first, even the FBI said they could have picked Koresh up anytime as he shopped everyday in town but
leadership wanted a bloodbath.
If you think it’s proper to use tanks, flamethrowers,helo gunships and flammable chemical agents against mostly women and children, maybe, You should investigate a little deeper than goose stepping to the media’s and feds call.
By the way, the feds turned off the power to the compound days earlier. The compound had to use kerosene lamps for light and heat..... They feds knew this... as soon as the gas was injected... They burned to death...
Of course there isn’t any evidence, the day after the mass killings.... They bull dozed the place and carried all evidence to a land fill. All this while the news media was not aloud within a 4 mile area.
Real quick. How many of the deaths in the siege were due to firearms?
And my source, who is a professor of religion, had running contact with Koresh, knew him well, and told me he was nothing like the media painting.
Cut the cr@p. The BAFT didn't "execute" anyone.
The Branch Davidians fired the first shots. Everything that followed flowed from that criminal act of murder.
Don’t forget Jonestown where 276 children died. Jim Jones was a creation of ultra liberal San Francisco.
Yes, it did. Cut your own crap.
When you want to assault the citizenry you need an assault rifle.
What is your interest in defending a murderous government?
You ignored the reason for the confrontation. Money for ATF. How noble.
I'm sure you also defend those rioting anarchist student at Kent state in the early 70's as well?
Yeah, I remember, the Branch Davidian tanks were firing incendiary rounds at a wooden building housing the US Army's Delta Force tanks, overwhelming them, so they fired back using equal force.
Oh wait...
Why federal involvement? Did TX childcare services advise the ATF? No.
What was your interest in killing them?
I know you slept a few times since this event, so brush up on the facts before you shoot off nonsense.
Ownership of a Janet Reno cheesecake poster?
