Reply #9: The ATF attacked their house

[Cherchez la Femme]

a house full of children, may I add; they did not attempt to serve papers peacefully, they attacked with vigor.

And in Texas no less, where 'Castle Doctrine' is an especially prized law.

All while dozens of armored agents, replete with tanks, armored helicopters and other armaments, simultaneously invaded (by door, windows and right through the siding) the main house

all while, incredulously, they broadcasted via a PA system: "This Is Not An Assault!"

What, then, IS an assault?


The Branch Davidians were on the receiving end of a fucking shooting gallery

The front door, riddled with incoming bullets, 'mysteriously disappeared' from evidence for the Congressional investigation and court cases.
O rly, how surprising! :eyes:

The "Federal authorities surrounded the compound... with razor-sharp concertina wire to prevent people from running out"

I don't need to supply yet more damning videos, there are documentaries along with videos all over the web.

Waco was a slaughter, and would be called so under Republican or Democratic administration; to deny this is the ultimate display of partisanship. What happened was inexcusable. Whatever Koresh's gang did was absolutely not worthy of an arbitrary, blanket death sentence.

Bottom line: the Branch Davidians got 'uppity' with the governmental authorities, and they and all their holdings were then obliterated.

I'm not discounting the entire Clinton administration, they did a lot of good things
but they did a number of horrific, ill-advised things --not examining the claims (and testosterone levels) of the ATF, FBI, CIA, etc., such as their, but not limited to, groupthink and agendas; one of which being what was good for them alone (including pride)

not the People they were supposed to protect and serve
and who incidentally paid their salaries.

This cannot be washed, spun or propagandized away.
