Day24.Waco Massacre Site

On April 19, 1993 the FBI and the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms destroyed the compound of the Branch Davidians burning 85 people to death. 4 FBI agents were also killed. We went to the property to see for ourselves what was left there. It was easy to find. The gate to the driveway was open, and we just drove in. There were no people that we could see but we heard the voices of children in the distance coming from an area where there were a few buildings.

That is America's national embarrassment, many things went wrong with the law enforcement, everything fell into the wrong place. A big tradegy.

IS USA any different than  IRAN or CCCP.

A man who was gauranteed religious freedom, and the right to self defense, by the US constitution was murdered by the BATFE, then known as the ATF. Why was he raided, was it child abuse, as the government claimed? No. It was that he hadn't paid $200 transfer taxes on legal, semi-auto rifles he legally owned. Those who don't admit this are gutless cowards, too afraid to face the fact that their votes for D and R are the reason these children died...

I notice that while several times today,it was mentioned about it being the 13th anniversery of The oc bombing,not once was it said on the news,that it was the 15th anniversery of waco.two years from now,all you'll hear about is the 15th of the oc incident, which a LOT is still being said about,on rense at least.
