WACO: American Apocalypse

[dwhauss]

I watched this decades ago.

Granted its slanted against the feds, but there's footage on here that gives a pretty vivid display of how some of these jackboots were hell bent on killing them all.

The Netflix version has been whitewashed. The original documentary is not for the squeamish.

I believe there is a bunch of "JackBoots" that wait for that very moment to pull the trigger.

Which part? The other factoid in the tank attack that preceded the fire is that if the Feds wanted to flush the Davidians out, why not only push down one side - leaving them an escape route?

Many, if not most of the Davidians, were hunkered down in a fortified cement "safe room" by their own choice. The feds tried to go in the front to breach the safe room but couldn't get there due to the fire. I've seen this account on other shows about it.

Koresh's rule for having sex with girls was 12 years old. He also dissolved the marriages and forbade the husbands to have sex with their former wives while he had sex with all the wives. Just a great guy.

the govt is ALWAYS about grandstanding
It’s why they kick doors down and haul white collar criminals out at breaking daylight in front of tv crews who just by chance happen to be there recording
In reality 80% of these folks would come in voluntarily if ask
Every once in a while they meet crazy
Then bad stuff happens

I think no one he would disagree with Koresh not being a total scum bag. But, it ALL could been avoided and catching him later, alone. Where was he going with 24/7/365 covert surveillance? Over zealous ATF and FBI.

Was he a nut job? Absolutely. Most of those religious extremists are. However, his followers to this day still defend him. While you and I and most others thing what he did was wrong and weird in their eyes and others like him it wasn’t. He was just acting like a good christian a man of God in his eyes. I have a co-worker who is a pentecostal. She literally speaks in tongue to “talk to God”. Ever seen that crap? Holy wacko crazy. That’s just something I don’t get. She’s a great person though so it’s whatever. Do you know how many people think us people here are wackos because we hunt or own lots of guns? Or hold “far right views”? I’m willing to bet it’s a lot.

In the end what you had here is the big mighty government thinking they were gonna save lives and protect people when in the end they caused over 80 women, men and children to lose their lives and be ripped away from their parents. All for what? I find many people to be weird AF. Does that make them wrong though. I guess it’s all on how you want to look at it. Just a bad situation all the way around. Like it or not these cults and people with their beliefs are not all that rare.

What kind monster takes a photo like this, standing over the cremated remains of humans, an fbi agent of course, to serve and protect, the state that is.

IMO, the only thing missing are the lighting bolts on his shirt collar.

Yes. I have seen that and IT IS some wacko crap, YES and my all-time favorite the Good Old Predestination BS that they are are going to heaven before all others! I always ask, show me the email from god stating that.

I do and I'm on here almost every day. Thank god, I'm normal, but I won't vouch for the rest of you.
