The Fed plan for a short time was to burn them all to death in the cabin, just as at Waco:
They had choppers on scene at RR and therefore they also huge rubberized fuel bladders for re-supply, the type of fuel bladders that are slung by the Army and Marines deep into the field for forward operating bases.
The Feds slung one of those fuel bladders up from a huge helicopter when the surviving family was all hunkered down in the cabin, then they hovered directly overhead.
This was at a time when the Feds were under the impression that ALL the media had been expelled from line-of-sight of the cabin; it was clear the crew were preparing to dump the fuel load on the cabin below.
In fact two sympathetic local media photographers had secreted themselves uphill, within line-of-sight; they understood what was about to happen and jumped out, prominently waving their arms and yelling, in an effort to attract attention to themselves. Their goal was to make the Feds understand there would be WITNESSES.
The heavily loaded chopper finally lumbered away, apparently waved off.
Some time later the cops showed up to the hide area of this brave pair and arrested one of them, very badly beating the videoman up in the process.
THE FEDS MEANT TO BURN THEM ALL TO A CRISP --that was avoided by a whisker.
I have no doubt. We still face this evil and some, even on FR, cheer it on against their pretend evil enemy. You know the Baptists.
