They left out a big part of the story:
A chopper laden with a huge underslung fuel bladder came to a hover directly above the shack, clearly with the intent to burn them out.
They established that there was a reporter in the area with a powerful lens, and that stopped them (they beat up the reporter and put him in jail for nothing).
Ruby was also to be ended by the flame, similar to Waco.
In view of the monstrous truth of F&F, who is to say McVeigh was not a gov’t agent who was burned when the sting went bad?
Because that is clearly what they intended to do to all the dealers who were recruited to help the BATF with F&F.
Would the gov’t itself set into motion a chain of events that would blow up their OWN building...? I’d never have thought that b4, but in view of F&F now I think YES.
Another Ruby detail they left out:
After the seige began at the shack the FBI complained Randy Weaver went incommunicato, right? They said they’d tried repeatedly without success to deliver a cell phone to him, in order to speak to him.
That is correct, but:
Right behind the grabber arm holding that cell phone there was a SHOT-GUN...!
OK so...your son is dead, and your wife has been shot in the head, she’s dead and rotting, there in the cabin:
Would YOU pick up that phone, with a police shot-gun behind it?
