No, that's not what triggered the call. The package burst open while being delivered, revealing legal items, and the FBI was called.
Ah, there you go - when the government makes an armed assault on a religious compound in a context of the government wanting to crackdown on "cults", it's an uh ... er ... ah ... "mistake". Maybe the Koresh people made a mistake about what guns were legal to have? Uh, no ..... no...they're a "cult", ie good for target practice.
You are confused. The list of weapons was turned up AFTER the final raid and burning down of the compound and death of its inhabitants - the fact remains that they raided the compound not knowing what was there and acting on an warrant obtained by misleading a magistrate, in wholesale violation of fourth amendment rights.
Whoa, now you're inventing child molesting? You're starting to sound positively medieval - "The jews have poisoned the water supply! They're a cult, let's get 'em!" You continue to be confused - the list of guns was turned up >>AFTER<< the compound was burned down. In this country, you get >>LEGAL<< warrants >>BEFORE<< you search, not try to justify a an illegal search after the fact.
Absolutely false - Koresh was a frequent vistor to downtown Waco, and they could have nabbed him any time. And now you're just once again brushing past the fact that it's not known who fired first in the attempted search.
It is watertight - you apparently don't want to confront the evidence of the attitude of the justice department under Clinton, so you just try to brush that off too, but facts are stubborn things.
What a laugh. What a wildly warped view of events. During the Clinton administration, illegal aliens were coming in over the mexican border at full tilt with no particular interest from the Clinton administration. But a refugee from Cuba arrives here (not "smuggled"). The "kidnap" charge is totally ridiculous. A mother escaping communism and wishing a better life for her son is a KIDNAPPER?? I guess you'd call people escaping over the Berlin wall during the cold war "passport law violators".
No, if I were in charge, you'd never even have heard of Waco - it's real chutzpah to say I'd prolong a seige that would never have happened. And the assault on a six-year old refuge from communism, when the whole country was being overrun with mexican illegal aliens, would have made a good Gilbert and Sullivan farce if it weren't so sick.
