Phanerothyme Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 The wiki page makes for interesting reading. It's got more references than you can shake a stick at. A slightly dodgy situation was converted into a grade-A clusterschmuck by the ATF and FBI with the help of Janet Reno. And we wonder why the Americans seek to preserve the right to bear arms - it's not about defending themselves from lowlife perps, it's about defending themselves against the state.

Tony Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 No. Every gun was legal. It is texas. What was he planning? Well, there was this David Koresh planned for his heavily armed cult to attack and kill citizens in Waco, Tex., according to the Government report on the failed raid by Treasury agents on the sect's compound. "You can't die for God if you can't kill for God," Mr. Koresh told his followers That's not to say that the authorities didn't make a right old hash of it. The lesson here is to avoid waving guns, legal or otherwise, in the faces of police officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Who started the gun battle? The nuts at Waco? Or the ATF? I don't know, I wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoran Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 That's the way I remember it. However the violence used by the authorities was way over the top. http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~voss/ In your opinion. Not in theirs and dont forget, they were the ones being fired at.

Whatwhat Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 In your opinion. Not in theirs and dont forget, they were the ones being fired at. Who were being fired at? The branch davidians? Or the ATF? Seems to me a government agency set out to kill a religious sect. Once and while they were doing this they made this sect out to be nutters. In a nut shell we believe the words of mass murderers. Anyone with any sense would have served the warrant in a non confrontational manner. For example when they were picking up supplies, or the leaders were out jogging. Only madmen would use the tactics employed, unless a massacre was wanted.

I think I would go in heavy handed, if I was raiding a house filled with people armed with automatic weapons. Wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
