<< The local sheriff, who saw Koresh daily, is on record that he was non-violent. Although they did buy/sell guns, there is absolutely no proof that any illegal activity took place at their compund ... >>

David Koresh bought about $200,000 weapons and ammunition, some of it illegal, in the 17 months prior to the Feb. 28, 1993 raid. We expect our government to protect us from "apocalypse" nuts like him.

There were all kinds of complaints from neighbors and others about weapons activity at Koresh's place.

The ATF made a big mistake on Feb. 28th by raiding the compound. But, fruitcake Koresh reacted violently, even though he knew about the raid, and knew who was raiding him.

<< Janet and Bill are murderers, plain and simple. They personally authorized tanks to kill those children. >>

Nonsense. David Koresh was an extremely dangerous nut case, who killed his own children when he and his followers set fire to the place. Our government bent over backwards for several months to try to get the children out of there safely. It is not only absurd that our government would change their mind about saving the children and then want to kill the children. I really feel that Koresh was going insane, or was insane already.
