Yeah, all right, cute. Saying that they burned the children to death is hyperbole. Those nimrods chose to arm themselves to the teeth and kept their children as human shields in spite of beau coup opportunities to get them to safety. And it seems a bit curious that the place erupted into flames from tear gas canisters.

I'm not defending every last bit of govt. behavior in this. But to put the total onus of blame on ATF is just not accurate. The business of ATF trying to justify themselves seems a bit leading. If we are a nation of laws, then what are we to do with people who thumb their nose at the law, who apparently believe that their religious practice puts them in an exclusive place?

People seem to think cops are supposed to be robocop, operating with no fear of being killed themselves. It has to be a bit tough, knowing that there's always going to be a target on their back to some extent with some people.
