I dont think much of Koresh, but I have more respect for him over the US govt/ ATF any day!

Its kind of strange today, anti-govt protesters only have some level of credibility if they never resort to violence or breaking laws, but when the tables are turned, and its the Govt that resorts to violence and breaking laws, its suddenly OK and they should get a pass?!
You have more respect for a child rapist and cult leader than the gov't? Okey dokey.

When asked by the interviewer if she was currently experiencing a hallucination, the young woman declined to answer saying, "If I say yes and you ask where it is, it makes the hallucination real."

I feel like the same logic could be used with mass shooting hoax believers. I've never seen one of these believers be satisfied with any answers that contradict their beliefs. In fact, it seems when questions are answered, hoax believers use those answers to further "prove" a conspiracy has taken place.

But if you REALLY want answers, start at these links:

The government rapes and murders children daily...and you finance it.

At least Koresh did it on his own dime.

One doesn't need to like or side with Koresh to be against the actions taken during the siege.
