19 years later

Posted by David Hardy · 19 April 2012 04:26 PM

19 years ago today came the fire that ended the Waco standoff and that killed nearly a hundred Davidians. I have webpage on my FOIA lawsuits and the discoveries that resulted. It's old, so some of the links don't work.

The link doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

I was younger, but I still remember my parents talking about that raid. I think it was in middle school when I read a story regarding the insights from children who survived the raid and some of the things Koresh did to them (including sex with a 10 year old) are horrific. It saddens me that many of them carry emotional scars that will never go away.

And McVeigh was there protesting the federal government. And later he was at international locations with possible international terrorism links.

And NOBODY on the Federal side fired at the Compound that Day.

David Koresh WANTED A FIGHT as he stood outside the frount door to talk to the ATF the first day.

The ATF and FBI did NOTHING wrong. Nobody at all was punished. Reassigned at the same pay is not punishment.

And Eric Holder involved. Why am I not suprised?

And what about The Trentadue Family and the OKC Bombing?

Even assuming that "Koresh" (or whatever his stupid name was) was abusing children, it was a state matter that the state authorities were perfectly capable of dealing with.

ATF wanted to fabricate a sensational incident for the purpose of glorifying themselves and their agency.

And (then) Major General Weasely Clark at Fort Hood shouldn't be given a pass on this either.

Child abuse is a horrible thing...so was burning a whole group of women and children to death for the greater "glory" of the ATF. There were a hundred other ways to handle that situation rather than laying siege to the compound with tanks and helicopters...
