[So you think the invasion of the Waco compound was justified?]
A Republic, is a system of Governance characterized by the Rule of Law.
The Laws of this Republic exist to Secure the Inalienable Rights of the Governed - NOT so religious miscreants can wall themselves off and molest children.
If your religious beliefs cause you to be in conflict with that scope of lawful purpose, then pack up your shyte and move to Somalia or Afghanistan where religious tyrant War Lords, such as those you evidently admire, thrive.
Wow. That's exactly the kind of thinking that gets people killed without the law ever serving a warrant. I guess it's more convenient when they're dead and never reach a court?
Prior to the raid, the state of Texas investigated, and found no child abuse. But be that as it may, I don't believe it's within the scope of the BATF's responsibilities to enforce the state laws against child molestation. It was not a factor in the initial raid. Nor is the FBI, their involvement was as "cleanup detail" when the BATFers screwed the pooch. The child abuse accusations were a convenient justification for the final assault.
In reality, Waco was about guns, not religion or child abuse, although the latter two did play a role. They were wackos, but wackos have rights too.
