No, I think I read a statement that they were present to prevent the Militia groups from doing something stupid and it ending like Waco.
Now the Oathkeepers single representative is charged in a federal crime. Guess we will see how that plays out.
Do note, the conspiracy approach is the very same approach taken in the Waco Twin Peaks Biker shooting charges. That one did not end well either. I suspect the BATF was responsible for the Waco fiasco again.
They are now silent about their participation there. And they were not mentioned in the recent arrests in Houston of the top Bandito members.
The FBI has a much better reputation than the BATF in this type of situation.
Nothing about this is good for anyone.
Tell that to Randy Weaver and his remaining family.
