April 19, 1993 - Fed's Slaughter Citizens in Waco

PBS ^ | 1998 | WGBH/Frontline

[ASTM366]

Having been attacked by over 100 armed BATF agents on a Sunday morning in late February 1993, the Branch Davidians, a small band of fundamentalist Christians living at a Church commune near Waco, Texas were surrounded. They had been surrounded for 51 days, subjected to psychological warfare techniques and surrounded by federal law enforcement agents who had lost all patience. What the BATF couldn't accomplish, the FBI was going finish. Despite the presence of innocent infants, children, adolescents and women the FBI ordered a military style attack on the buildings of the compound. The rest is history......

PS... And this character Johnny Shearidiot found here doesn't understand why their parents would not release their children to the care of these animals.

[Johnny Shear]

"I did a little research on this Johnny Shear character. My findings? JS is anti Christianity and anti Constitution. JS is constantly sarcastically encouraging others to join the constitution party which JS obviously despises. Then JS finds hysterical that Christ shortly after his resurrection descended into heaven."

Following me around, are you?

Yes, I think the Constitution Party is a joke. It will never win on a national level. And all it will ever do is siphen votes away from Republicans and allow a Democrat to win. Ala the Reform Party and Bill Clinton in 1992.

As for Christ "Physically" rising into heaven... Someone made a joke about the followers of Muhammad believing he rose into heaven. I simply followed-up with "So, Christians believe Christ rose into heaven too". Personally, I belive neither.

You don't like my beliefs? I don't care.

[Johnny Shear]

You are not very logical, are you? You claim that Reno is an idiot and then you claim that she could not do wrong. Strange.

I'm not going to debate you and your baiting tactics...That would be an obvious waste of time. I'll just restate the obvious (Well...Obvious to anyone who is NOT a Conspiracy Kook)...

Janet Reno is an idiot...And WILL lose to Jeb Bush. But she is not responsible for the deaths of those children. Their demented parents are. They are the ones who kept them inside that place and allowed them to burn to death. All they had to do is allow them to leave just like the REST OF THE CHILDREN WHO LEFT AND ARE ALIVE TO THIS VERY DAY! Of course you nutballs conveniently leave that part out of your government hating stories...

Save your false accusations and charges. They only make you look even more pathetic.

[Johnny Shear]

PS... And this character Johnny Shearidiot found here doesn't understand why their parents would not release their children to the care of these animals.

No...What I don't understand is why they would FORCE those very children to BURN TO DEATH rather than allow them to simply walk out of that place.

And I also don't understand why you clowns would defend "Parents" like that. Even if that defense does serve your government hating agendas.

Would YOU allow YOUR children to be BURNED TO DEATH instead of simply allowing them to walk out into safety with NATIONAL CAMERAS surrounding them...JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS CHILDREN HAD? You know...The children who are ALIVE TO THIS VERY DAY??????

On second thought, don't answer that...I am afraid I won't like the answer...I don't put ANYTHING past you FREAKS!

[takenoprisoner]

Following me around, are you?

Not following, checking on. Now I know exactly what you are.

Yes, I think the Constitution Party is a joke.

That you have made clear time and again.

As for Christ "Physically" rising into heaven... Someone made a joke about the followers of Muhammad believing he rose into heaven. I simply followed-up with "So, Christians believe Christ rose into heaven too". Personally, I belive neither.
You don't like my beliefs? I don't care.

I don't care that you are an aetheist. I figured that out before I checked on you.

I see you have done your homework. NOT! Johnny, there were no media cameras allowed. Sorry son, but you are mistaken. And all those cameras belonging to the fbi, which were filming, are now missing. Do your homework before you challenge those of us with knowledge of this event.

[takenoprisoner]

He's back from his tryst.

[Johnny Shear]

I don't care that you are an aetheist. I figured that out before I checked on you.

So, anyone who doesn't buy your Christian view of things is an aethiest now?

LOL! That kind of attitude is EXACTLY what keeps people from coming-around to your point of view...I thought Christians were suposed to encourage people to embrace Christianity??? You seem to be about as credible as the Taliban with that kind of attitude. Which doesn't surpirse me because you're already a confirmed KOOK with your Waco Crap!

Good luck with all THAT.

Hmmmmmm.......I could have SWORN that I've seen that scene of those children leaving the compound in that van about....Oh, I don't know...A COUPLE HUNDRED TIMES!

But then again...I'm not a Government Hating, Waco Freak Loving, Conspiracy Kook.

[takenoprisoner]

Since we are talking about you, you tell me.

[takenoprisoner]

But then again...I'm not a Government Hating, Waco Freak Loving, Conspiracy Kook.

That you have proven. But you are a children and infant hating agnostic freak.

[takenoprisoner]

Anymore comments from the pro tyranny children and infant hating aetheist society, or are you done?

[Paulus Invictus]

And you know this is true how? Did Janet Reno tell you? Or was it Klintoon's government and media hacks? How?

[Paulus Invictus]

[takenoprisoner]

Much time has past. So you know, I realize how horrifying it must be when you look into the mirror to face yourself. Who could? Regardless, no need to respond now since your continued silence speaks volumes. Besides, any defender of tyranny that hates women and children as much as you do should be forced to crawl over broken glass. Just crawl far and away from we humans scumbag.

[Johnny Shear]

Since we are talking about you, you tell me.

OK...Fair enough...

Basically, I know there is a God. I mean, how couldn't there be? With all this world has to offer us. It didn't just "Happen".

But I don't buy into any religion per-say. Based on one simple, undeniable FACT...(Even you can't argue with this)...

There are a lot of "Religions" but common sense tells us that only one can be correct in their beliefs. But yet, all of them are CONVINCED their view is correct...Of that, I have no doubt. So, I supect none of them are "The one true faith".

In other words...I refuse to believe that my little ol' grandmother, who did absolutely nothing but make people happy and content her entire life, is burning in hell simply because a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or whatever else, says so. I believe she is with God today...Doing what makes her happy...Making others happy.

I hope that's good enough for you? But, it doesn't matter to me either way...

[MoJo2001]

I believe Koresh should have died! To be honest, I'm not sure why they didn't get him earlier. However, I do believe that there were some major issues in which the Clinton Administration needs to have answered for even today. I'm not saying that most people on here are Waco lovers, but they are supporters of getting to the truth of government abuse. (Most are)

I'd like to know what Janet Reno knew and what the FBI knew. I'd like to know what was it that made them decide almost 6 months after the first "supposed" occurrence to act. Why didn't they just arrest the man when he was out in town. There have been people who stated he was in town usually once a week. If that was the truth, they could have spared those children the awful death they suffered. May those children REST IN PEACE!

[Johnny Shear]

That you have proven. But you are a children and infant hating agnostic freak.

It is not I, but you, who is using the killing of innocent children (The adults weren't innocent, just deranged murderers and suicidal morons) to further promote his paranoid dilusions of a government conspiracy and cover-up, simply because he is a America Hating, Waco Using, Black Helicopter Fearing, Whacked-Out Freak.

[Johnny Shear]

Why didn't they just arrest the man when he was out in town. There have been people who stated he was in town usually once a week.

That is the obvious, honest and pertinent question. But, I do believe in the old addage of..."Hindsight being 20/20".

I truly believe that they just SCREWED-UP! Very badly, of course.

May those children REST IN PEACE!

Dittos! Pity the children...And all innocent children who die, for that matter.

[takenoprisoner]

Dittos! Pity the children...And all innocent children who die, for that matter.<P? You remind me of that lying Arafat when forced into the corner. " I denounce all terrorism especially that from Israel." Too late scumbag...as you've been tagged for what you are.
