In 1992, 50 innocent, unarmed, U. S. citizens, women and children were burned alive and murdered by the A. T. F. and the F. B. I. in a house in Waco Texas and no charges were ever brought against them. Of course the attorney general who ordered the attack said we didn't start the fire. The only problem with that is, It was televised on national T.V. clearly showing the tank backing away from the right side of the building and seconds later the house went up in flames!!!! My question is, Why wasn't someone in our goverment charged with mass murder of women and children?

In 1993 a bungled assault by 5 people on a known armed enclave occupied by a cult where everyone was known to be crazy, following an even crazier cult leader.
The ATF, an organization most famous for its thorough investigations and not as a paramilitary law enforcement agency made the raid, and not the FBI's world famous Hostage Rescue Team.
The assault was a failure leading to a month long standoff. When the tank rammed into the building to introduce tear gas the ultra-faithful decided to ignite the compound rather than risk surrendering potential witnesses to the federal authorities surrounding the building.
There was no one charged with murder because while the authorities may have instigated the fires, they did not cause them.

Innocent & unarmed? Then how did they manage to shoot that FBI agent with a spray of machine gun bullets?
No charges were brought against the ATF & FBI because they didn't "murder" anyone. They were there acting in accordance with their assigned duties, namely trying to peacefully arrest Koresh & his little cult on illegal weapons charges. Those 50 very well-armed people were killed when some of their own set their compound ablaze from inside the compound. Infra-red video from a hovering helicopter proves this to be a fact, and the tank crew had nothing to do with the blaze. It's sad that they chose to kill the children (who were the only true innocents in the entire bunch) but the adults got exactly what they deserved.

Why did they think David Koresh was a messiah?
I'm not happy over the government's choices, or the choices the majority are making at the polls every year - but I don't see a need to join a group like that. Yeah, yeah - they weren't a 'cult' people say. But um ... living on a compound, separated from society, under the thumb of one person ...
doesn't scream healthy mental attitude towards authority or society.

convinced , the authentic horrors were dedicated through Koresh and his crew . do not attempt to glorify them . and there is daycare in a lot of work places at the moment ... even if or not they're federal homes or no longer , for the convenience of operating partents. (duh) McVeigh change into nuts ,organic and easy . He change into also a murdering bast*** . He for sure had no situation killing innocuous adult men , women and little ones. Fellow human beings . He change into no patriot. McVeigh merely picked the position the position he theory he ought to get the biggest body count number .

It was 1993. And was 74 people who died. Obviously you have not researched this piece of history, and you are outraged. Before you rant, you should do a little homework. There was substantial proof the the Davidians started the fire, and the tank was retreating when it was discovered that a fire was inside. The date of this is very crucial as to why other things didn't happen.

Vernon Howell AKA David Koresh and his so-called "Mighty Men" are entirely responsible for the deaths at Waco.

Not for nothing, but the nutjobs in that house had bandied weapons about in Waco and threated to blow the place up. So you were not exactly dealing with "innocent" people; they were psychopathic anti-social wack jobs hell-bent on killing real innocent people.

Clinton was a little too occupied and the one that screwed the pooch on this one was the attorney General and she is the one who protected the president.

In her capacity as Attorney General, Janet Reno was not held responsible. The Davidian group was a "perceived threat." Sound familiar?
