The ATF'/FBI atrocity at Waco did not have the same optics. They were arguing that everyone in the compound was either a dangerous criminal or a hostage. It did not hold water after the fact, but it was a plausible story at first.
This is very different from a Hellfire missile fired from a drone into a Boston cafe at lunch hour. There is no way the public would believe for a second - especially in this age of ubiquitous social media - that everyone in a public thoroughfare happened to be a wanted terrorist.

How about firing one at a moving vehicle during a time of light traffic? How about firing one into a home that sits on an acre or so?
Would you put either of those past Obama?

I imagine Paul was just using that as an example, it could be any thing, an other example would be a militia group at a hunting camp or a thousand other circumstances.
And it appears to me that they really don,t have any concern what the public believes.
