In the pic showing ATF agents with a wounded agent wrapped in a blanket atop a truck hood, I see a female agent to the right. Why is she grinning?

Waco and the Seventh Day Adventist massacre of 87 people and 27 children ( under 12) by use of illegal tanks and illegal cs gas to set them on fire screaming to their death was the greatest crime ever against humanity in this country. There is no doubt that those Christians deserved nothing much less annihilation ordered by hillary clinton and the clinton regime. The portrayal of “Waco” on the paramount channel has been commendable except the removal of the references to Jesus and God. The murder of those people was beyond satanic. If you can watch “Waco” and the absolute murder of those Christians and children without tears— you have a very serious eternal life problem.

William Jefferson Clinton sworn-in January 20, 1993.
This thing officially really got going February 28, 1993.
Looking back, I didn't realize just how short of a time WJC had been in office.

It sadly resulted in the Oklahoma city bombing on the same day ( April 19) two years later.

It wasn’t a “tragedy” it was an atrocity. The 6 part series “Waco” running on the Paramount Channel is excellent. And timely considering the criminal activities of the FBI - past and present.

Because he died and she will never have to admit they were having an affair.../
Not being funny but, Waco didn’t need to happen.
They doubled down on their stupidity and conceit, killing the very people they were sent to help.

“Uh...no thanks...”

As with the Kennedy assassination and 9-11, the powers that be won the initial battle but lost control of the narrative with a large segment of the population. The MSM and their neo-conservative auxiliary have had a story line repeated ad nauseum through their outlets. In the case of the Kennedy assassination, the undercutting of the “single assassin” theory took place over several years and involved various researchers on the matter. With regard to the most recent Florida school shooting, the speed of the debunking is far more rapid, with various non-establishment sources criticizing the narrative within hours of the event. I doubt anyone in the MSM and the deep state saw the county sheriff and the FBI under severe criticism, even more than was the case of the Las Vegas shooting several months ago.

what was illegal about using cs gas?

It wasnt a tragedy it was an atrocity.
Bingo. The initial reaction to the 9/11 outrage was to fly the Ameerican flag. This morphed into describing the attack as a tragedy in a couple of weeks, and replacing the flag with yellow ribbons of mourning/yearning.
Outrage is good. It spurs us to action.
Tragedy is not so good, and no one ever mourned their way to victory. Tragedy does help suppress the ‘backlash,’ though.

Democrat POTUS Bill Clinton and his AG Janet Reno kill 20 plus Children in Waco and it isn’t a story because the Victims were Religious Zealots.
Another Democrat kills 17 People in Florida and it’s the current Republican President’s fault (and the NRA of course).

The TV series was written, directed and produced by the Dowdle Brothers.
I was friends with both John and Drew.
Great guys and I am happy to see their continued success.
It is awesome witnessing someone you know chase a big dream and pull it off.

It happened on April 19, 1993.
That day was a satanic holiday and its preferred sacrifice was killing by fire.
Hillary ordered Janet Reno to do it on that day.
Hillary likes to sacrifice people.
