People only have respect for the law when the law has respect for them.

The Feds could have arrested Koresh on numerous occasions when he went on his daily jogs outside of the compound. Instead, they chose to put on their ninja gear, fire up the heavy armour, and make a big show of their "might." And many innocent people were killed by their own government.

So if that's what "rule of law" means, then to that I say, "No, thank you."

The Feds could have arrested

An old saw oft repeated with no basis in proof.

Vernon Wayne Howell and his henchmen had the compound and the area roads *around* the compound under surveilance 'round the clock - the sight of armed federalis rolling down the road in plain brown wrapped Caprices would have resulted in a radio call to Howell and the beginning of 'siege' right then and there ...

"Due Process" to a Davidian was whatever Vernon Wayne Howell decteed it to be - JUST ask those surviving children if that ain't true ...

Don't forget that reno personally authorized it.

And even after Waco, she sent in her storm troopers with assault rifles to get little six year old Elian.

And she talks about "the rule of law".

This is why the 2nd Amendment is 2nd, if we didn't have that, there would be no recourse against a government run amok.
