Thank you for reading the OP. You maybe the only one.
So my argument centers around the actions of the FBI and ATF. It's in this point that people label this event as a tragedy and I disagree. The FBI didn't cause any of these events to happen. This was a suicide by willing participant.
If one can isolate the murder of the children from the overall events then I have a hard time labeling the suicide of a criminal as tragic.

It doesn't excuse the deaths of the children - largely the responsibility of the federal authorities
I'm not sure I'd put the death of the children at the feet of the authorities.
The parents burned their kids. There's no two ways about that.

So would the death of 76 Natzis be considered tragic? What a simple argument you have put forth.
Shitty troll status confirmed.

But weren't federal officers killed in that initial raid?
ATF agents Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeehan, and Conway Charles LeBleu.

Yeah, I have three times. It's stupid. You say the death of the children was tragic. That should be the end of the argument right there. If it was tragic for the children then how in the hell can you lament that the raid wasn't a tragedy. Go to class.

State investigated the child abuse charges and found no evidence. Child abuse is a state, not federal matter.

I understand how it was mishandled but why is it considered a tragedy?
Because a bunch of children died a fiery death you stupid frick.
Are you for real?

Largely unproven ones. Do you believe in any sort of due process
If you keep throwing around rediculous accusations then it will be hard to converse with you.
Testimony of multiple Branch Divideon members confirms the age of the girl's Koresh was banging. Since he decided to burn rather than face any type of due process we have to go on testimony and physical evidence. ( the physical evidence being the fact that underage girls gave birth to children)
Maybe you consider that to be largely unproven but I consider that to be damning evidence.

Then your comprehension skills are lacking. At best they forced a suicidal maniac to act. Tragedy.

I mean, that guy killed himself in Baltimore and rioters burned part of the city down blaming the authorities.

While in a months long siege precipitated by hamfisted federal action. You break it? You bought it. There is some dispute as to whether or not the gas used accelerated the fire and destruction and that other munitions used may have contributed to the fire and smoke.
Now, I'm somewhat confident that the some of the Davidian adults set fires, but that doesn't mean that every adult - the children's mothers for example - were complicit in their own deaths. You're aware there were a number of survivors of the fire, are you not?

Testimony of former members indicated Koresh had sex with girls as young as 12

I would always consider the burning alive of children by jackbooted thugs a tragedy.
I would also like to welcome a new shill to the board, cuck bitch.

Nah. If someone is being arrested and shoots himself in the head then I'm not blaming the cop trying to arrest the guy. But maybe you do

The ATF was not there for this issue. They were there for the guns.
This was also a subtle message to Americans - "Don't arm up and organize together, or we'll come get you."

If the killer Reno was so concerned with due process why didn't try arrest Koresh alone in town instead of playing siege with tanks and machine guns?

12 of the deaths were kids. Most under age 4. They did not "join" a cult.
