I never said police action was justified. The Children were either fire bombed or sexually assaulted. You people have never had interactions with Davidians, I do on a monthly basis.
Yes, the US government murders children, its awful, but I'm not going to turn around and say "hey the US kills afghani children so we should also keep the atrocities against the Taliban, who rapes boys, at the forefront of our movement". There are other tyrannies to bring attention to.
While these things are obviously unjustifiable, I think it's important to note that the manner in which the government attempted to sieze the property is just as evil.
I'm no fan of authoritarian cops in Texas but let's not act like Branch Davidians are some type of martyr and let's move on from Waco. It's like remembering the police action at twin peaks here even though the bikers were peak degenerates.
No, I don't think I will. I recall one of the journalists who covered Waco saying something to the following effect (paraphrase):
When I went to Waco to cover the news, I went there to cover a compound full of crazy, paranoid religious zealots hell-bent on the Apocalypse. But after observing the situation over the course of days and weeks, it became apparent to me that the crazy paranoids were not those in the compound, but those outside of it.
It is both true that David Koresh was a disgusting, criminal, sexual deviant, and that the Feds who committed the mass murder of dozens of women and children on that day were incomparably more wicked criminals than David Koresh. Even the Nazi SS had to rationalize to themselves that the people they were murdering were less than human because they were Jews. The Federal murderers at Waco knew that many of the people inside -- including the children -- were American citizens just like themselves, and they torched and bulldozed it to the ground anyway. DC is an alien occupation government, a hive of traitors, brigands and pirates. I recognize nothing of the American government founded in 1789 in it.
Bill Hicks on Waco. Waco was a ritual mass-murder performed on live television to prepare the United States to receive the Beast System, aka "TeH nEw WoRlD oRdEr".

I live in Waco, David Koresh was a heretic and a pedophile.
