Be careful what you wish for. I'm sure Randy Weaver and the survivors of Waco would disagree..............
They were not rioting, and in fact had not broken any laws.
Weaver not only wasn’t convicted, but got a big pay-day for wrongful government activity. (death of his wife and kids among other things I believe)
As for Koresh, he wasn’t doing anything at all illegal.
That whole operation was a government cluster blank from day one until the end. As far as I am concerned the government was the entity to break many laws. There should have been many people prosecuted for the activity out there, and I’m not talking about the Davidians.
Hillary village came down pretty hard on the kids at the Koresh farm.
