Why not pull a "Waco/Ruby Ridge"? Just storm the place and kill them both. Agreed?

Well, I was looking for my Y/A government apologists.

Good answer, CanineLegion.

Answer 1

Let's see. Ruby Ridge. George HW Bush. Man refuses to join a hate group as an informer thus endangering himself and his family so is made an example of. His "fortified complex" made of a plywood shack, shed, and dog house was attacked and his wife and son murdered. Two duped marshals dead. Idaho brought charges on the federal officer and Bush covered it up.

Waco. Wacko so-called prophet who evaded taxes, was married to every woman in his church, and had a 15-year old wife. Another wooden "fortified" compound. Another faked drug dealer so free Army armored vehicles could be used. BATF wants a sensation so Congress will give them more money. Assault church even though invited in to search (as Texas authorities had done earlier when they took all their weapons then returned them when it was determined that no laws were being broken). Use helicopter-borne machine guns, poison gas, and finally take actions sure to burn down a wooden structure. Several agents dead as well as 80+ women, children, and others whose only crime were being a church member of a Millerite religion (like Adventists and Jehovah Witnesses). Major cover-up by Reno and the Clinton 388478 gang.

Seems you could have come up with better examples.

Is the house really fortified? Perhaps the magistrate there is actually doing his job and refused to rubber stamp a bogus "drug dealer" claim depriving authorities from getting free Army equipment? Perhaps risking the lives of police officers over tax evasion is dumb? The penalty is prison with a warm or air conditioned room larger then what USAF Airmen get, hot catered meals, and free college; seems they are already serving their time in a worse place.

The cowboy assaults should be saved for dangerous situations where time counts, not non-violent crimes like tax evasion. We haven't elected Putin "President" in the USA yet.

Answer 2

Nope. Successful business people and tax evaders need to be kept alive so they can pay their proper dues, i.e., squeezed of every possible penny - there's a real war on, ya know, not some target practice like Waco and Ruby Ridge!

Answer 3

Not no, but hell no! What kind of question is that??? Both tragedies are fresh in my memory, since they were senseless killings, and there was zero justice on both accounts. No thanks to Janet Reno! Justice was never served, since the killing of innocents was profuse, and could have been avoided. Bty, what ever happened to you are innocent until found guilty? Any person whom even entertains this twisted mind think is one neutron short of a synapse, and should not be allowed to vote, much less be allowed to pro-create. Think about the pregnant wife of Mr. Weaver whom was shot through the abdomen, killing both her, and her unborn child. While you're at it just imagine the screams of all of the toddlers, babies, and other innocents as they burned to their deaths. Is THIS what you call justice? I shudder to think anyone would even consider this an option. It is cold blooded murder, and should be treated as such......with the death penalty, if found guilty of said crime. As for tax evasion? C'mon! Since when did killing someone for not paying taxes ever merit murder? That is pure unmitigated BS in my opinion. Tax evasion isn't grounds to kill someone. Not even for the Feds.

Answer 4

Waco ended with dead children.
Ruby Ridge ended with dead children.
The Iraq sanctions of the 1990's caused dead children.
I feel it is reasonable to say that policies and blunders that cause dead children are failures.
Let's be clear on the record before we advocate monstrous mistakes of the past.

Answer 5

Maybe they learned from those previous f*cked up situations

Answer 6

Why not? Well, mainly because killing people is bad.

Answer 7

no!

Answer 8

They killed themselves at Waco, duh.
