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.

“Everyone thinks that we’re monsters, that we attacked innocent people,” said ATF agent Robert Elder. “We didn’t drive up there and start shooting and killing people. We responded with deadly force because deadly force was used against us.”
No other person on earth has a lesser understanding of the non-aggression principle than an ATF agent.
Everyone in this situation were idiot and most of us figured that out when we were atleast in grade 6.

If David Koresh has left the premise and given himself up, the stand off would have ended. Instead, Koresh sacrificed everyone in the compound. A most cowardly action. Anyone trying to make Koresh a hero or martyr should be ashamed of themselves.
JaNUT Reno was the heavy handed out of control nut job that used violent force to the extreme. Why is it when the democrats are in power they always end up killing Americans. They are easy on foreigners.
