Isn't it a shame that their is absolutely no mention of Waco in the mainstream media today. Unfortunately, most of America sees no significance or feels any outrage regarding the events of April 19, 1993. I will never forget.

That is the truth

Waco-----never forget that it was the first time in American history tanks and armored helicopters were used against American citizens. A military operation complete with media propaganda to dehumanize the Branch Davidians and make the gov't's sordid and despicable crimes "acceptable". Thanks to raising awareness......and not letting the memory fade.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I still can't get over what the feds did down there, nor the way many congresspeople defended their actions at the hearings.

Lest we forget, it was that paragon of virtue, President of the United States William Jefferson Clinton, that presided over the 1993 events at Waco.

As I do on every April 19th, I remind each of my fellow Freepers that our federal government, through the actions of its law enforcement agents, caused the death of 76 citizens at the Branch Davidian Church compound, near Waco, Texas on April 19, 1993. They killed INNOCENT infants, children, adolescents, women and men. To this day, not one federal agent has been charged with wrongdoing. The evidence was bulldozed at the site, internal FBI and BATF documents were destroyed and hidden and investigative panels have been nothing more than Federal insiders who whitewash the entire event. Offer a prayer for those Branch Davidians who remain in federal prison this very day and ask the good Lord that justice will be done.


Will you be doing it again in 11 days?
