...and the warrant was being served by the BATF.

Unfortunately they didn't bring the warrant with them on the morning of the BATF raid. Oh well, that's just a technicality, right _jim?

[tpaine]

Someones in de-nile,,,, _jimbo.....

[_Jim]

Don't confuse _Jim with logic, Fred. His head will explode.

Here's your failure - you're out to slander, not discuss ...

[Henrietta]

"Of course, you would rather slander than discuss reasonably."

Oh, of course. (sarcasm off)

"Meanwhile, the conclusions you have drawn are wrong, Henry"

Really? It's hard to draw a different conclusion from your posts.

[Roscoe]

Welcome to Heaven.

[Fifth Business]

In their hurry to start the festivities nobody brought one.

LOL!

[Henrietta]

You are the one trying to re-write history, here.

He had complied earlier with other search warrants served on the property. They did not try to arrest him off of the property.

[strela]

Back already? You must have one of those "postage-stamp"-sized yards like I wish I had sometimes. (Mowing, weedeating, and putting out fire ant bait on an acre and a half takes some doing on a 100-plus day).

[Henrietta]

No, Jimbo, it's not speculative wishing. It's a FACT that had Koresh been arrested off of the compound, the BATFags would not have had the justification to dress up in ninja gear and assualt the "compound."

[_Jim]

Do you have that 'cite' yet proving your point?

[dljordan]

You forgot that the Constitution is a "living" document.

[tpaine]

- you're out to slander, not discuss ..
-jim-


Your flat denials that the feds could have arrested Koresh off the 'compound', are not discussion.

[Henrietta]

"I own an studio apartment adjacent to my condo. Can I be a compound too?"

Quite possibly. I'd move as soon as possible, if I were you. In the meantime, keep your arsenal at a friend's house. Just make sure he doesn't have a "compound" first.

[dljordan]

We got lots of "law" and very little justice.

[Fred Mertz]

No, I've got 1.5+ acres, and I'm a procrastinator too. Gotta run now for real!

[Henrietta]

Fred, come on, I warned you: Do not under any circumstances try to reason with Jimbo. His head will explode, and then we'll ALL be banned.

I guess I should take my own advice and abandon this thread immediately...

[_Jim]

It's a FACT that had Koresh been arrested off of the compound,

No it's not - now it's reached the stage of common, rampant speculation ...

I even addressed some points why that would be dangerous - things, I think, that the simple-thinkers on this thread never thought about.

[nanny]

In their hurry to start the festivities nobody brought one.

That's good. Just play it by ear?

I do agree with another poster, I am glad that sheriff doesn't have a big ego and is doing what he can to prevent a tragedy.

[strela]

Ah, another member of the landed gentry! Hail fellow well met!

(Wish I had some serfs around here so I could send THEM out to ride the mower) ;)

"The Gray family homestead is nestled in thickly forested hills, more than a mile from the closest neighbors. Visitors have said it is fortified with sandbagged shooting positions, trenches and an underground bunker built of concrete and wood." -- New York Times / August 25, 2000

How dare they call it a compound!
