David “Messiah” Koresh’s prophesy fulfilled.
I have a thing for those who would elevate pondscum like him to martyrdom for whatever reason.
He was scum. But he was a US citizen that deserved a fair trial.
Do you have a thing for those that use tactics that needlessly put little kids in grave danger, tactics which resulted in the deaths of many of them?
This entire event and their deaths could have easily been avoided.
Take off your blinders. Waco wasn't just about Koresh. Think of the innocents who died because Reno was an a$$hat.
Waco, along with Ruby Ridge, needs to be remembered as what happens when governmental agencies feel they are above the citizens.
Much as we declined to wait for an opportunity to arrest Randy Weaver on the streets of Naples, or Sandpoint, or elsewhere in Idaho whenever he went into town on a shopping trip. Meanwhile, he lived quietly with his family in their simple, upainted plywood house in the woods, bothering no one.
The issue is not whether Koresh was “pond scum”
I think you would be pressed to find a Freeper that wouldn’t think he should have been arrested....
The issue is one of government action, and whether they acted properly or grossly abused their power....
By the measure of the results and how the final scene played, the latter is an obvious choice....
This is regardless of Delta Force alleged involvment....
