As I do on every April 19th, I remind each of my fellow Freepers that our federal government, through the actions of its law enforcement agents, caused the death of 76 citizens at the Branch Davidian Church compound, near Waco, Texas on April 19, 1993. They killed INNOCENT infants, children, adolescents, women and men. To this day, not one federal agent has been charged with wrongdoing. The evidence was bulldozed at the site, internal FBI and BATF documents were destroyed and hidden and investigative panels have been nothing more than Federal insiders who whitewash the entire event. Offer a prayer for those Branch Davidians who remain in federal prison this very day and ask the good Lord that justice will be done.

Don't worry, W has announced that all those who fund or harbor terrorists are themselves terrorists, and will be dealt with as terrorists. Therefore, we can be sure that he is hunting down, and will bring justice to, all those who funded and harbored those who killed the Branch Davidians.

May God embrace His cildren. The men, women and babies, who were murdered in Waco by the Federal Government Thugs under the control of the Traitorous Bastard Bill "The Legacy" Clinton and Janet "The Butcher" Reno. GW will never address the murder of these innocents, his complicity and lack of honor wouldn't allow him to do so. For those who may have forgotten the brutality of those Federal Thugs and the complicity of those who followed... feel free to visit the site below http://www.wizardsofaz.com/waco/picturethis.html Not for sheeple or the week of heart.

Wonder why no protest songs were ever written? Kent State has been memorialized over 5 deaths, yet 76 Christians are forgotten. Not by me, NEVER!

2 tanks and Reno's coming. Koresh is called Loco! Snipers killed the children. Murdered at Waco!

Remember, the government was trying to save these people. From what, they didn't really say. Perhaps from freedom of religion. Or from the right to keep and bear arms. No one really knows what the government was saving them from, but it was something. Presumably something important.

So to save them, the government burned them alive.

Sounds like the Spanish Inquisition. But it also sounds like our government.

I believe those people were in a cult, but I believe they had every right to their cult,and their lives.

Agreed.

"At Waco, was there really an urgency to get those people out of the compound at that particular time? Was the press going to make it look heroic for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms? At Ruby Ridge, there was one guy in a cabin at the top of the mountain. Was it necessary for federal agents to go up there and shoot a 14-year-old in the back and shoot a woman with a child in her arms? What kind of mentality does that?"
-- Clint Eastwood in Parade Magazine, January 12, 1997

To all you Freepers posting to this thread - Thanks for joining me in remembering those murdered at Mt. Carmel.

Isn't it a shame that their is absolutely no mention of Waco in the mainstream media today.

Unfortunately, most of America sees no significance or feels any outrage regarding the events of April 19, 1993.

I will never forget. For the sake of those who lost their lives and for those who will lose their lives by future actions of our unchecked federal law enforcement agencies.

The good news is that little Jennifer has been restored by God and she will live an eternity with Him.

The Fed's can't hurt her anymore.

I join you all in remembering the horrific events at Waco. I'll never forget the cold, sick feeling I got in the pit of my stomach when I came home from work that day and my mother told me what had happened. Nor will I forget the outrage. My view of the world changed forever that day. That was the day I realized that government is not always benevolent, and that pinning badges on bad men doesn't automatically change them into good men. It was a painful yet necessary awakening.
