February 28, 1993, a raid by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms sparked the biggest firefight in the history of American law enforcement and continued debate 20 years later. Two agents who were there say the disastrous raid led to fundamental changes in ATF.

Easier to burn them than explain the government crimes...
“What happened to the doors? They were being held for evidence, but then they disappeared.”
And then someone suggested comparing fired rifle cases to the chambers of FBI sniper rifles (you know, Lou’s gun).
But, Oh My, they were getting worn out and they had all been sent out to be re-barreled.
How far do you have to travel away from DC to find even one molecule of truth?
The BATF and the FBI refused permission to outside experts that offered to examine guns retrieved at the scene, which causes me to doubt that any full auto conversions had taken place. I watched both the House and Senate hearings on the event and I do not recall any evidence of 50 caliber weapons or live grenades. It was mentioned that some dummy grenades were in the building, but the only live grenades were ATF grenades that had not exploded after being thrown in. I think I have scene all the live footage that has ever been made available of the initial raid and there were no grenades exploding outside the building. Too bad the government could not find the tapes from the four or five video cameras that the BATF had running when the raid started.
M-1Tanks.....Combat Engineer Vehicles.....Bradley Fighting Vehicles.....against Americans with children in America? The Clintons and Janet Reno were going to show America that the government wasn’t afraid to use combat equipment against gun owners. It didn’t work out like they planned.
Photos of children that were crushed to death by a tank. and CS gas torture were viewed in the hearings.
I remember Sonny Bono and other Congress members crying at pictures of these poor children.
Things to come people.... Things to come.. The thing is, this as well as Ruby Ridge, did not need to happen... The government forces could have waited them out....
Really? “..., should not blind us to the fact that Koresh was a pretty bad guy. Not unlike Warren Jeffs of the FLDS or Jim Jones...”
What was it that Koresh had done that makes him a ‘really bad guy’ in your opinion?
don’t forget about the New Orleans gun confiscations.
since no one else mentioned it. Let’s not forget we have the recording of the 911 call by Koresh at the beginning. That is damning to the gov’t’s lies about the start of it.
That was no firefight - it was a mass assassination by the government.
That was my thought when I read his post.
He was accused of molesting children which makes him worse then a bad guy. He becomes a despicable evil monster deserving instant death IMHO.
He never had his day in court and that bothers me. I could step over that and ignore it expect for the little fact that over 30? children and about 100 other people were exucuted for something David may or may not have done.
...and let’s not forget those native tribes.probably dwarfs the (un)civil war.
Owww.

The problem is that those accusations, which were made by a disgruntled member in a power struggle, were investigated throroughly by local police and social services and they were dismissed as unfounded.
EXPECT that the media, and the government are lying to you, and falsely accusing people. Then if it ever comes to a court case, and a jury (not a judge) shows it to be true, you can be pleasantly surprised that for at least once they did not lie.
I remember seeing the dead, melted, molten corpses of adults and children in the aftermath, before the pics were scrubbed & sanitized from the record. The MEs ID’d 95% of them, and guessed at the rest. It was just awful.
Chief Dan George to Clint Eastwood in “The Outlaw Josey Wales”. :-)
We need to eliminate that entire fascist organization.
Actually, 9/11 and Pearl Harbor are larger mass murder events in US History.
This is the largest authorized and carried out by our own government against our own people.
And I don’t see how this one agent can say the windows of the surburban was falling on them, when the video they show in the interview shows the windows INTACT. LIARS.
How many killed in Waco.
In the battle of Blair mountain. About 100 killed. Logan county wva sheriff and his coal mine company paid army shot it out with union coal miners. 30 of the deaths on the Logan defender side (sheriffs deputies).
“What was it that Koresh had done that makes him a ‘really bad guy’ in your opinion?”
It’s my understanding the child molestation charges were fabricated by Janet Reno.
They had no evidence of any crime.
