THE SIEGE OF the Waco compound belonging to the religious group Branch Davidians by the US military and police took place between 28 February and 19 April 1993. The Branch Davidians was a sect that separated from the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1955 and were led by David Koresh. In the run up to the siege, a local newspaper had printed a series of stories about the cult’s leader Koresh, stating that he had physically abused children in the compound and had committed statutory rape by taking multiple underage brides. Koresh, an advocate for polygamy was married to several women from the cult’s community. It was also believed that the cult was stockpiling weapons.

Agreed, hence Reid's after the pull-back claims that the Rancher, AND the rest of the peaceful protester, are domestic terrorists, armed with automatic weapons and willing to use the women & children there as "human shields."
My guess is that Reid, his demon-spawn children, and/or Reid's puppet masters, stand to gain a lot of money if they take that land, and Reid wants them out of the way.

The Bundy ranch is in the ‘mitigation’ zone where Reid & Co and Noble Energy have agreed to ‘protect’ in exchange for building a massive solar farm 150 miles away.
Bundy found himself in the middle of the Reid Syndicate’s moving cookie jar. Therefore the assassination plot. Dang Domestic American Terrorists refused to be assassinated: how unpatriotic is THAT? /s
Remember the smirking FBI spokesweasel laughing every day about the deafening bad music they were piping in (along with audio of rabbits being slaughtered)? It was all great fun for him and his elitist press buddies. Who was that creep?
Me three (or whatever the count is now). But, the final straw was Elian. That's when my American Flag went into the attic and will never be displayed on my house again. Nothing the Clinton/Reno crowd would do could surprise me. But the American sheeple just loved both these atrocities.
Come to think of it, wasn't Elian the day before Easter? Hmmm...
You’re saying that the people of this country should rightly view their relationship with the government as one which entails the risk of being attacked by tanks—without warning or opportunity to state their case—if they have a disagreement with the government over a few dollars.
In other words, you have clearly established your ideology as one of absolute opposition to the existence of our Constitutional rights.
Ya mean just before all those people were slaughtered? Great law enforcement tactics huh. If ya watch the videos of that event, they were all treated as they were all mass murdering terrorist, who'd been cornered.
Your comments suggest they were very violent criminals who'd been going into town robbing banks and murdering people or committing mass murder. Nothing like that ever happened.
The only positive thing gained from this horrific event was the it woke a hell of a lot of people up to see exactly what evil this government actually capable of.
It was "(Not my) mawwwwwww" Richard's Democrat Texas back then.
