It's too bad the FBI are so stupid they couldn't think of a sneakier way to arrest Koresh. I'd say he should've been arrested - he was running a religious cult where he fucked kids. Although I'd label a few US-specific branches of Catholocism as religious cults that fuck kids (child marriage), that's for sure. All the seige stuff is pretty intense. The final standoff was the FBI pumping in tear gas and not firing on anyone. They Branch Davidians lit fires that ended up killing a lot of them. --- girls like my fa ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a bit more complex than that. The problem wasn't a bunch of religious weirdos, it was reports of sexual abuse of children,as well as other abuse. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think there's anyone left in the FBI who thinks it was handled well at this point. Really, though, it was a difficult situation. How do you handle a scenario where you suspect a fatalistic cult is committing significant crimes in a fortress of sorts? There's no easy answer. ...well, except for the right-wing answer anyways. "Leave them alone and ignore whatever sexual abuse/etc crimes may be occurring IF their cause is vaguely Christian or right-wing. If it's a different cause (Muslim, etc) shoot first and ask questions later (or, really, not at all). Oh, and make sure you DO attack a couple vaguely Christian cults from time to time so we can feel justified hoarding guns and vilifying the government". Someone like, say... SKARDAVNELNATE posted...

That sounds more like a position adgl took last year. I'm no fan of organized religion. --- No locked doors, no windows barred. No more things to make my brain seem SKARD.
