Bob, I think the point that Nihil was making is that one may justifiably use proportionate force to protect another from the imminent use of deadly or dangerous force. You know, just like it's against the law to kill someone, unless it is in self-defense or if necessary to defend the life of another. But, it's not justified to kill someone to keep him from stealing your car. Etc. The facts of what happened at Waco may be in dispute, but I don't believe anyone suggested that the FBI tried to storm the Waco compound to stop rapists who were in the act. There were allegations that Koresh had more or less "consensual" sex with young teenaged girls - - which I do not consider acceptable, legally or morally, but the FBI were not trying to stop a forcible rapist engaged in the act of rape.
