So basically the only similarities are the feds being involved. Or do you think the feds should have left David Koresh alone and ignored the child abuse in the compound
The Feds could have arrested David Koresh any number of times when he traveled away from the compound.
Branch Davidian was 100% avoidable.

So was this.

And Ruby Ridge. And Waco plus Ruby Ridge led to the Oklahoma bombing. Three tragedies that would've been avoided by having a less aggressive federal gov't.

Here is an update from the blaze..


Friday's news on the issue


quote:

Images of a forced cattle roundup on a rural Nevada range sent ripples through the West on Friday, prompting elected officials in several states to weigh in, militia members to mobilize and federal land managers to reshape elements of the operation.




quote:

Nevada’s governor urged calm as the fight over rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle widened into a debate about states’ rights and federal land-use policy.


quote:

Fiore, a Republican, said Friday she has been making the 80-mile drive from Las Vegas to a growing tent city of militia members

Evidently, Bundy stopped paying for his cattle to graze years ago when the government said he could no longer use the land for his cattle. I can't say I blame him. Their reason given was to protect an endangered turtle.

Now it comes out that the hostile takeover of this land is for the reason of using the land for natural resource mining and other corporate endeavors.

Various corporations have been trying to buy the land Bundy actually owns for many years. This whole thing stinks of the denial of individual rights of people like Bundy in favor of big corporations and politicians.
