Well, now that you're done with such useless OT info, my original question that prompted this ongoing OT rant stands in post #75.

I have no idea what that post has to do with the Wackoes in Waco. Nor do I understand what it is that is causing such intensity.
As far as I can determine, all I have indicated is that BATF's (and subsequently, the FBI's) approach to L. E. resulted in massive loss of innocent civilians and for no apparent good reason.
I cannot imagine what the gov bureaucrats were thinking as they escalated the violence, one step at a time until kids got fried. Then they packed the ground so that no forensics were possible by independent parties.
I believe that is a good and sufficient reason for private citizens to hold their government accountable and demand changes in procedures to prevent that type of murderous tragedy from ever being repeated.
For many people, that behavior on the part of the gov was good and sufficient reason to treat the government as a potential threat.
Were they wrong?
