Okay. "The standoff started with a government investigation into illegal possession of firearms and explosives."

"Child abuse" factored into the case against the BDs - a go-to favorite excuse for the nanny state and is always a hit with the public. Still used to this day.

The BATF didn't care about child abuse. They prepared an open armed assault against a building full of kids.

That's not quite how you are supposed to handle such situations if you care about the kiddies.

IIRC, not a single BATF agent was charged with a crime over the government massacre at Waco. The media did not want it.

A squad of Marines was tried for supposed war crimes at Haditha. The media wanted it.

Kill the enemy - bad. Kill weirdo Christians - good.
