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......
Do you think that the heretics (religious nuts) should be burned together with their children? I do not think that it was the proper procedure in the Middle Ages. As far as I remember the heretics had their day in the court and they could repent. Their children were spared (unless they were big enough and persisted in the heresy). Am I wrong?
Irish laddie you're a friggen idiot.
Koresh and the rest of the child abusers were served with a legal warrant...They attacked and killed police oficers when they could have simply complied.
Then they burned themselves alive.
What the hell is wrong with you Waco Loving Freaks? Don't group Freepers with yourselves, I'm a Freeper but I'm NOT one of you.
You are ignorant about what really happened in Waco. Do some homework before you express your opinions.
This event was probably one of the only things the Clintoon administration did right. Please don't feign "martyrdom" for a bunch of kooks.
Exactly RIGHT!
And don't forget about the Federal Agents who were MURDERED by these Branch Davidians when they tried to do their job.
All these Government Haters tend to forget that little tidbit. Or, is it legal to shoot and kill police officers when they come to serve you a warrant???
I know one thing for sure...
If those child abusing Branch Davidian Kooks had NOT MURDERED Federal Agents while they were only doing their job...THE event that caused the whole mess, NO ONE would have died.
Well, they wouldn't have died unil all of them pulled a Heaven's Gate, anyway...
Government Hating, Branch Davidian Loving Freaks give Conservatives, and more importantly...Freepers, a bad name. I view them in the same light as the Freaks who agree with Cynthia McKinney.
But that's just my opinion...
Alanmo Girl Archives to acquaint yourselves with the facts. You make yourselves look foolish by parroting the fed.gov lies about the massacre.
This peaceful religious community was shot to pieces by helicopters from the air, 15 minutes before anyone ever came by land, and then it was to mount an assault with automatic weapons. The front door was standing open, with Koresh and his father-in-law in the door, when the BATF launched its hail of bullets. The warrant was back at their office in Dallas.
There are about two dozen posters on this thread that are so ignorant they should hide their heads, and never post again.
Yeah, I'm going to believe some propaganda piece by yet another Government Hating, Branch Davidian Loving Freak. Is that the video that shows the tank using a FLAME THROWER????
Seriously...No disrespect intended to you personally. I don't know you past this thread. I am just sick and tired of being grouped with these freaks just because I'm a Freeper.
As already stated....I consider them in the same league as the Cynthia McKinney Fans.
February-April, 1992
Between February and April, 1992 Koresh allowed Texas Department of Protection and Regulatory Services and McLennan County Sheriff's Department personnel to inspect Mount Carmel on three occasions. - The Davidian Massacre by Carol Moore
April 30, 1992
The child abuse investigation was closed.
You really should read up on the facts before you open your squeal-hole.
I know. Do some homework and come back with something more than a mere opinion.
And the infedels in The World Trade Center and Pentagon were murdered by The Bush Administration for profit too...
Yes, yes, yes. Just do it!
WRONG
What is has to do with Waco?!!! Do your homework, dude.
Naaa.....I dont like listening to Art Bell and watching Pat Robertson. And I don't subscribe to The Millitia Short Wave Radio Network.
