When the sun rose on April 19, 1993, it marked the 51st day of a standoff between dozens of federal agents and members of an apocalyptic religious sect called the Branch Davidians, who had barricaded themselves in their compound outside Waco, Texas.

Perhaps I'd have a lot more angst about the "sect", if it hadn't been savagely attacked by federal agents in an apocalyptic manner.

Wouldn't it be reasoned to consider those federal BATF agents to have been "Gestapo like?" Where's that mention, while labeling others at will?

All excuses given for the raid were later found to be pure hooey.

Around 90 people died. Around ten of them were poor defenseless children. I guess it would be a lot easier to blame the Davidians for killing their own, if there hadn't been sniper fire preventing anyone from leaving the compound out of the normal doorway exits.

I have a tape of Koresh shot and injured , pleading with the media to tell the public the truth about how the government had no intention of letting it come to a peaceful conclusion . He was on the floor bleeding . All the children and elderly were shown . Of course the media never showed it .
