Everybody here seems to be against the federal government going after David Koresh and trying to save the captive Branch Davidians.
Oh, I get it.
It's because it was Bill Clinton and Janet Reno who went after them.
If this happened under Trump's watch, Hallelujah!
Have you ever NOT been the stupidest person in the room?
Not so sure, I think they were also pissed off at Ruby Ridge.
Still, the Branch Davidians were rightly fucked once they opened fire on Federal agents.
They should have just starved them out, with continual offers to allow the women and children to leave broadcast all times of the day.
It's worse than that. F-troop was mostly blue-on-blue. That's right: those stumbling, bumbling idiots shot EACH OTHER.
No one was against ARRESTING Koresh. We are against the irresponsible way the FBI and ATF went about it. He jogged on public roads unescorted and presumably unarmed every day and could have been quietly arrested by a local LEO. Instead, the BATF sent what amounted to a SWAT team to breech the compound and created the whole mess.
The local sheriff offered to go in and pick Koresh up himself.
