Watched a great documentary on the Waco survivors last night...

The FBI is supposed to do a warrant serving analysis to determent the best way to serve a warrant for their own teams safety. And when children are involved don't you think they analyze the best way to keep them safe as well?   Or do you think they disregard the children all together?
 
How can anyone possibly dismiss the government from "cause" when the onus is on them to insure nothing goes wrong?
 
There were probably a hundred different times and ways they could have safely served the warrant and performed their search.
Instead, they chose to charge in like the 7th cavalry going after the Sioux Indians.

Sometimes when reasoning is impossible, force has to be used...

"Let's kill all the children so those bad people can't hurt them."

Great logic.  Not.

THERE WAS ALSO ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY THERE WHICH IS A VIOLATION OF THE POSSE COMMITATUS ACT! AND THE SHERIFF COULD HAVE ARRESTED HIM AT ANY TIME AS HE CAME INTO TOWN OFTEN! THE FEDS ROLLED UP TO THE FRONT DOOR TO TALK AND THEY, THE FEDS STARTED FIRING. WHEN YOU GIVE CERTAIN PEOPLE BLACK BDUS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT AT SOME TIME THEY WILL WANT TO USE IT, AND THEY DID AND IT WAS ALL UNNECESSARY!

NO DIFFERENT THEN RUBY RIDGE WHERE THE FEDS CREATED A CRIME THEN USED THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO MURDER WOMEN AND CHILDREN! AND THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY IN COURT!

Are absolutely, positively sure about that.  How do you know Dave Koresh wouldn't have pulled a Jim Jones.  Cults have a tendency to self destruct when backed in a corner...

Cults have a tendency to self destruct when backed in a corner...   
 
Which is why you don't approach the issue by doing just that, if you are concerned about the safety of the innocent.

This was all over a $200 tax stamp for legal weapons.

The Branch Davidians had bought several AR-15 autosears for which they had not bought the $200 tax stamps.

79 people were murdered over a few hundred dollars of unpaid taxes.


How many full auto firearms were found after the fire?   Zero.
