America today can not have that happen. What do you call Waco, Ruby Ridge and the M.O.V.E. bombing in Philadelphia? (Wasn't it Philly?)
America can have that happen. The burning and gassing to death of Americans happened at Waco. And it was not suicide contrary to whitewash investigations headed by the good Republican Danforth...
They were bad things and no institution is perfect all the times.
How many times have our armed forces bombed our own troups?
Was that a plan to due that or did good intentions go bad?
One of the followers at Waco was a brother-in-law to a cousin back east and I many times told them to get away from that nut case in Waco before it came down crashing.
My cousin begged them to get out long ago because they had the logical mind to know it was a flakey cult. They didn't listen and died.
A sad end to be sure.
