I started watching it but haven’t finished. These cultish loons and their idiotic rugged-individualism plus gun-obsession led to Timothy McVey, who was parked outside during the stand-off handing out anti-government propaganda. A few years later he murders 168 people.

You wanna be a citizen of this country, you gotta pay to play. That’s how society works. You don’t get a pass because some idiot radicalized you, some jerk-off handed you a pamphlet about gun-rights, some senile privileged Union-busting president says “government = bad.”

The biggest threat to American democracy, as has been known for years, is the anti-government messaging from certain political leaders coupled with easily-radicalized, angry, citizens in a country that privileges gun-ownership over saving lives. Domestic terrorism is one of the major threats to the future of our country.

Waco
Ruby Ridge
OK City
January 6th.
Etc.

Government agencies haven’t always responded properly but it’s hard to fault them at the moment when confronted by radicalized angry gun owners.

They call it Waco, it was more of a "natural selection event" in this instance.

Always the same. one man's need for 'power/importance' Grabs the easy ride and jumps straight on the religion train as they know they will always pick up passengers along the way.
years go by, documentaries get made and suddenly people see them as Martyrs..
( it certainly wasn't handled well by police, but Koresh put them in that situation, just his little pawns...

And don't get me started on that Bloody Scientology !!!
