Not to be outdone, six months later, 76 people were killed in Waco, TX.
Called into question the conduct of certain three letter agencies. I'd argue it factored into the 1994 election and forced Clinton to pull way back on the trajectory he put the US on int his first two years.
Thirty years later, same organizations, similar issues. After 30 years, one would think "we have a problem".
Another in a long list of the Federal Bureau of Infamy “success “.
I remember the media at the time being nothing but an FBI mouthpiece. There were no alternative media at the time.
“ Aug 11, 2022Records on Randy Weaver, the man who famously had a standoff with federal authorities in 1992. Randy Weaver died in May of 2022. Please see the attached NY Times obituary for more information.”
What happened to Bo?
“ James “Bo” Gritz, then a third-party presidential candidate who had formerly been Weaver’s commanding officer during the Vietnam War, served as a mediator between Weaver and the government. ”
They left out the part where they were setting Weaver up to force him to be an informant on a group of White Supremacist types and he refused and resisted their pressure so they were moving to arrest him. Classic FBI entrapment.
Wow ! I couldn’t read the whole thing because I read so many lies and distortions of truth in the first couple of paragraphs my blood pressure started going up . Another example of the presstitute media . Where is Lon hiding ? Anybody seen Lon ?
Once upon a time, the FBI was the most vaunted example of law enforcement on the planet.
Here’s what happened to it:

A lot of this government abuse of power began under pappy bush.
Never liked him and did not vote for his ass. I did not vote that year.
I did not vote for shyster Romnuts either. Anyone who of such a lessor man that would run around with kneepads on giving BJs for money doesnt get my respect.
I wrote in someone else.
And which agency of Federal Bungling Imbeciles was behind that?
TELLING a man to saw off a shotgun at one exact position, which was 1/4 inch too short to be ‘legal’, then killing his family over it
The ATF set him up. Federal Marshalls killed his son. The FBI shot him and his friend, and killed his wife. If the EPA and OSHA were there it would have been a full house. There were at one time reports that he did not cut the barrel too short. The problem was the overall length of the gun, and that someone else (the ATF?) had cut the stock down to make the gun “illegal”.
We shrugged off Waco.
We refused to believe what we knew to be true.
Now we believe it.
I will NEVER forget the name of the FBI HRT sniper, Lon Horiuchi. Also at WACO.....
BTW...... HRT means Hostage RESCUE Team.....exactly WHO was hostage and WHO got saved in either Ruby Ridge OR Waco?
Thanks for the reminder. The ANGER swells up in me with this reminder.
How could this happen in AMERICA?
Then AGAIN at Waco!
How many “modified” guns are in inner cities across this nation AS WE SPEAK?
Yet the FBI does nothing about that.
Every August 21 and April 19, I have to be “careful” of my comments. I have a picture of the Waco memorial on my desk at work. People ask - what is that, I rarely get a follow up question.
Interestingly, a buddy of mine went to Waco with his wife years ago. He knew my opinions so he drove down to get a picture of the memorial. He swears the FBI was in multiple houses. He go nervous just taking the picture. He told me if he got stopped he would have told them he was getting the picture for me (name address phone number family members or anything else they wanted). Now he is not a paranoid conspiracy theory person like me but he figures he was being recorded, photographed…. When he went down the road.
Great friend. He got me my picture and it’s framed and sitting in my office between a wedding picture and a couple of the kids picture.
Self admission- I knew Waco was going to end in major deaths. I sat in my house 1000 miles away and did nothing. I am pathetic from that perspective. Bark and no bite.
I did post on Janet Reno’s “burn in hell obituary page” the condolences from the children that died on April 19th. It got removed.
