This is why we have a deliberative and adversarial justice system. I’m prepared to wait for that system to run its course.

With respect, YOU can afford to wait. Had it been you at one of the tables in Twin Peaks that day, and you suddenly found yourself held hostage and prevented from going home, going to your job, paying bills, meeting obligations of career and personal nature, and then had to pay THOUSANDS of dollars at least to go home after at least two weeks, plus pay hundreds of dollars to wear an ankle monitor even though you had no record of prior arrest --

-- well, I guess you would also have all the time in the world to "wait for the justice system to run its course" because your financial and professional life would already have been damaged beyond repair, and any monetary settlement "justice" may mete to compensate for your suffering, is MANY MANY YEARS AWAY.

This thing at Waco was BLATANT in its contempt for due process and the rights of citizens assembled at a political meeting -- THAT is exactly what this was. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of FACT. reasonably established after independent due diligence and application of common sense.

That the writers of news reports FAIL to present this event in its complete context, is a very sad fact as well.

“Had it been you at one of the tables in Twin Peaks that day,”

I hope Gen.B has the same common sense that I have and when seeing all the biker gangs in the parking lot, would have never gone in.
