I fear the inevitable anti christian slant on Waco but i will love the revisit for so many that got screwed by the cover up. Did you know that 1 day after they burned the children alive they bull dozed all the evidence and removed the soil.? Why?

Yup. I doubt Paramount will tell the truth. “ ‘Based’ on a true story” the ads say.

A couple of years ago, Paramount put a lot of their movies on a Youtube channel, IIRC. I did not watch any of them.

It is horrible to try to find anything on Youtube. One would think with them being a part of Google that Google could develop a decent index and search tool for Youtube.

It was a murder scene under the jurisdiction of the Texas Rangers. I heard the Rangers we’re very upset.

I’m guessing that the Feds are the ones that bulldozed it. (I hadn’t heard that - amazing.)

After the fire I’m sure the Feds were just making sure the fire was out, and removing any hot ashes left in the soil. Wouldn’t want to leave it a hazard where some child might wander in and get hurt.

Thanks for that link. The Rangers and the Feds working in cahoots. And while not the next day - the main bunker was bulldozed within two weeks. Seems pretty quick.

I don’t think it was the Rangers who bulldozed it. They were pissed off about it.

Same thing happened with the JFK assassination. The Rangers contended it was a murder and they had jurisdiction. The Secret Service said the president was their department. I read there was almost a shoot out. I wish the Rangers had stood their ground.

They used military equipment with *civilian operators” to get around the law.

The door proved they fired first at thebSeventh day adventist church . For nothing illegal!! Worst civil right violation in history. Im glad it is being discussed. Fact may not be portrayed properly but the people are smart and will see beyond the anti christian hate of the left making this tribute to the dead children burned alive in a church by the FBI. So sad!! God the screems haunt any of us.

Texas was a Blue state up to that point.

Democratic state legislature.

Democratic Senator.

Democratic Governor.

Yes, the Rangers were upset. The crime scene was molested. Perhaps the soil was removed because it would show evidence of teargassing.

The Davidians had trouble escaping the inferno because Janet Reno had just tear gassed them inside.

Changed Texas for a generation.

Well, it's based on a true story but that doesn't mean they'll tell the truth.

As an aside, I've seen commercials touting this show for many months. At first, the commercial closed by indicating that Waco was a "Harvey Weinstein" production. Since Harvey's problems surfaced, none of the ads for the show mention his name.

Does anyone know if there is a definitive book (or even list of books) out on the Waco mess including what happened to the survivors?
