(16,199 posts)A bunch of religious cult fanatics who believed the world was ending committed suicide after attacking a lawful police raid for illegal automatic weapons.
Ruby Ridge was a clusterfuck, but Waco was handled pretty well. It's not anyone else's fault that the cultists doused themselves in gasoline and self immolated.

(458 posts)We already know the truth. Some cop killing cultists were mad that laws applied to them, killed themselves.
I fully expect a retelling in favor of the cop murder cult so that ABC can say "Seeee? We're not biased!" Kinda like how the so-called liberal media did wall to wall e-mail and Benghazi coverage for the entire election

They went in there because they were told that they had an arsenal that was larger than some Central American countries, and that they were molesting kids. He actually had candy bars in his tac vest for the kids that he would encounter. Religious beliefs had nothing to do with it, unless your religion requires you to own rocket launchers.
