All of you are probably too young to remember this. I'll break it down for you best I can.
In the 1990s, MTV was just barely taking root into American "culture". At the time, there was a TV preacher every 30 channels or so, preaching eschatology and how our involvement in Iraq was going to lead to the 7 Headed dragon that was to be babylon. We knew it was going to be the European Union, and that Israel was moments away from being wiped off the face of the planet.
Your average American, though skeptical of those types of cataclysmic happenings, were still very reverent towards to ideas of the Church, and especially Jesus Christ. The MSM, and other media at the time (that your average American had no clue was controlled by the Zionists) were fed a video clip of David Koresh were he compares himself to the second coming of Christ.
At this point, you have 3 camps of people:
1. Bloodthirsty Christians that wanted his head for dare saying anything negative about Baby Jesus
2. Christians that took offense, but instead wanted the government to do something about this heretic that was having all the sex he wanted with under aged girls like they couldn't
3. People that didn't give a shit, and made up about 13% of the population.
We were told he was a mad man (he was). We were told he was stockpiling guns (he was). We were told he had wives/concubines/young girls (he did).
We were told that he was going to overthrow the government (he couldn't have). We were told that his cult was attracting folks from all over the US (it wasn't). We were told that unless we did something now, that innocent people were going to die, worshiping a FALSE BABY JESUS (they probably wouldn't have)!
So, Janet Reno did what any respectable cunt muncher would do. She sent in people to kill the entire fucking compound. Might as well, right?
Honestly, it could have went peaceably, but it didn't because "Rule of Law" an shiet. Thanks, Bill.
