Yes, such law-and-order LEOs that they actually did form letter warrants. They didn’t even bother filling them out individually and charged everyone they apprehended with the same thing, having filled them out ahead of time. No matter what they had or hadn’t done, they got all the same charges.

There are several people who were arrested at the site that were on the other side of the building having nothing whatsoever to do with the fight. They were also hit with the boilerplate charges.

It took Waco literal *years* to drop charges they knew were baseless and disproven by site security video.

Legal education item #3

Many were arrested on a charge of “Conspiracy”

In criminal law, a conspiracy is a combination or confederacy between two or more persons formed for the purpose of committing, by their joint efforts, some unlawful or criminal act, or some act which is innocent in itself, but becomes unlawful when done by the concerted action of the conspirators, or for the purpose of using criminal or unlawful means to the commission of an act not in itself unlawful.

Because of that, because of the requirement of “joint acts” (everybody doing the same thing), all the indictments charging members with conspiracy MUST be the same. The Straw Man that the indictments are defective because they are all the same is simply PR BS.

Regarding those on the other side of the building, that is no absolution of the conspiracy charge.

As far as the BS that it was all a set up and all the defs are innocent, ask anyone in prison, they will all tell you the same thing.
