On February 28, 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) raided the Branch Davidian ranch at Mount Carmel, a property located 9 miles east-northeast of Waco, Texas. The raid resulted in the deaths of four agents and six Davidians. The subsequent 51-day siege by the FBI ended on April 19 when fire completely consumed the complex, killing 76 people, including 21 children and Davidian leader David Koresh.

Too many were murdered by a government that is afraid of it's own people. It is easier to kill you than to let you own weapons that is supposed to be a Constitutional right. The government smeared a decent man and killed women and children to enforce a warrant that could have been served at a different time using different methods without destroying innocent lives. The amount of how many were actually killed I do not know but we know it was a deliberate slaughter. The government will do this to you if you press your luck. This is what has became of the right to bear arms. We reserve this right to prevent this type of action against our citizens and the people who died were heroes and true Americans.

85 people, including at least 17 children
They got 37 people out, including 21 children, before negotiations went sour.
Here's a good website that has stories from the kids that survived 10 years after the fact and other interesting facts.

They were killed on april 19th. That is the first day of a 13-day Satanic ritual. Oklahoma City was the same day. See the video "Cult Suicides Correlated with Satanic Dates and Numbers."

Funny, isn't it, that the U.S. government condemns Saddam Hussein for killing his own people, the Kurds who were rebelling, but the U.S. government feels no shame for killing its own people at Waco for doing nothing more than sitting in a house.

I think close to 20 weren't there? I also wonder how many people could actually say what this was all about? Have we forgotten it do you think?
