re: What was the country’s reaction to the 1993 Waco siege when that was going on?

"Could" doesn't mean did. The Branch Davidians were a doomsday cult. They set the fires to end it after they took out as many ATF agents as they could and knew it was the end.

They didn’t try and take out any ATF agents at the end since it was the FBI that did the seige.

The FBI for 6 years lied about using anything that could start a fire. They finally admitted after 6 years they did use canisters that could have started a fire. That’s pretty bad for a government agency even if they didn’t start the fire.

They also lied to Janet Reno about the effects of CS gas on young children from a known study that basically lied about the effects. They used all of the CS gas they were supposed to use for multiple days in just a few hours. They told Reno their plan was to slowly put CS gas on one side of the building and slowly push the davidians to the other side over days, we all know from video that was a lie. The use of tanks to crush the building led to trapping the women and the children with them in the bunker room. They dumped so much gas in the bunker that some of the small kids broke their backs from seizures due to the gas because gas masks didn’t fit their faces. When they broke the concrete wall into the bunker, they crushed a few people with that wall. Yeah the evil cult totally was the bad guys in this faceoff.
