I’m sorry but I really can’t take the word of the Waco holocaust electronic museum as in anyway authoritative.
From what i read its not unreasonable to expect a cult which seemed to exist among the Davidians to commit mass-suicide. That being said I have no idea what happened, and i agree the U.S. Government had no little to no legitimate business being there certantly not in the numbers and forces which were present.
What I do know of Ruby ridge is that the Local & State authorities were indeed outraged by what the Feds did there. So outraged that they ended up filing murder charges against the Federal Snipers.
