Speaking of Waco. A few years earlier,the McClennan county sheriffs department arrested Davis Koresh on a homicide charge. Two men, in sport jackets knocking on the door. Even though he was facing a murder charge in Texas, he went peacefully.
Yes.....I think the prospect felt by the followers there upon seeing a bunch of heavily armed ATFers with M-16s at their door was that their prognosis was not good.
Unfortunately, in the ensuing melee, those ATFers got their asses handed to them on a platter by a whole cache of converted AR-15s. This day, and the day years early all hinged on the ‘image’ in my opinion.
The final ‘image’ of that whole eff-up being a tank attacking the compound and setting it afire, killing nearly all the men, women and children within.
