I had friends in Waco who remember Koresh cruising the strip (Valley Mills?) in his camaro on Friday/Saturday nights. He would talk/preach in parking lots to the local kids. He would bring some people to the Health Club (a burger joint) from the compound as well. They would hand out literature about the end times and such.

Point is, they could have grabbed him any old time in town.

Exactly. But Hillary wanted to push her early version of VRWC. She is a heartless bitch responsible for countless child deaths, IMO.

“...they could have grabbed him any old time in town.”

For what? Refresh my memory, and correct me if I am wrong.
IIRC, Koresh’s group was considered suspicious by the local concern trolls because it was a group of end-time believing religious “fanatics,” living in a commune (gasp!) with children and guns (gasp!) on the premises.
And, as you say, he’d also preach and hand out tracts about the end times in town.

None of this is illegal, which is probably why Koresh wasn’t grabbed solo while in town. The arresters might have had to pay out millions for religious discrimination.
As I remember it, the Feds surrounded the compound after rumors of child abuse were floated by some of the locals.
Thus the Feds weren’t harassing uber-Christians, or violating anyone’s First and Second Amendment rights. They were saving the children by firebombing them.

Yep... and don’t forget the sheriff at the time (Harwell, I think) stated that he could have nabbed him at a local club (Chelsea’s Street Pub... used to be at Richland Mall) with ease as Koresh quite often played music there. That sheriff also died under mysterious circumstances. Hmmmm.

Wake up America.
