“the hideous burning of women & children in Waco, Texas...”

One thing I never did understand about Koresh. Why didn’t he just hire a lawyer and plead his case in court as is the right of every American per the Constitution?

Those kids would be grown with kids of their own today.

I am certainly not an advocate for Koresh. But the problems at his compound were, at most, local problems. There was no valid Federal Role involved. Like the killings at Ruby Ridge, a couple of years before, this was a Federal assault on the freedom to have eccentric views (from a Leftist perspective) and remain armed.
