Didn’t realize Koresh had a Corvair & a couple of bitchin’ Camaros.

Saw one of his Camaros sell at auction recently, I think last month. It was bitchin

SolarMines@reddit

You kinda mean it though admit it, he did a lot of horrible stuff but in the movies and documentaries he does seem like someone quite cool and charismatic, a bit like Charles Manson

[-]

I think being a cult leader requires a certain amount and type of charisma, on top of the sociopathy/narcissism/delusions of grandeur. That’s how they’re able to get so many people blindly following them.

[-]

MountainTitan@reddit

Pretty sure that's the short barreled version of the M60E3. The M60E4 was developed in the '90s for the US Navy, and it was exclusively used by them at the time. The M60E3 was popular and can be seen in Hollywood (Rambo II, Commando, and Predator are famous examples).

[-]

DerringerOfficial@reddit

Somewhere out there, there’s a picture of another M60 in a machine guns nest aimed at the compound

Never forget that they lied about the Branch Davidians having belt fed machine guns to further justify the mass murder

[-]

Contra_Mortis@reddit

They did have a bunch of illegal machine guns. That's just a fact.

[-]

MikeyMcdubs@reddit

Yeah, the FBI giving reason for their massacre. Shall not be infringed, cops were there illegally and they all deserved to die that day.

[-]

magnuman307@reddit

Then by all means, execute the dogs and burn the kids, the paranoid cultists will learn that they shouldn't be paranoid the hard way.

[-]

InitialAd4125@reddit

Like the government just proved Koresh was right about his beliefs. Well maybe not the government is satanic ones but the ones with the government being out to get them yeah.

[-]

magnuman307@reddit

A delicate situation handled with a wrecking ball.

[-]

InitialAd4125@reddit

If they legit just left them alone or nabbed Koresh on a run everything would have gone fine but no they wanted to raid the compound because that makes sense.

[-]

Dubaku@reddit

They wanted their hero moment and a propaganda victory. No one would still be talking about this if they had done the normal thing, but they wanted their story of raiding the evil cult compound and rescuing children from them. Obviously it didn't work out the way they hoped.

[-]

InitialAd4125@reddit

Nope instead they got a very special package later on. Because actions have consequences something the had forgotten.

[-]

Dubaku@reddit

Well that's it then. They all deserved to be executed via death squad because they committed tax fraud.

[-]

FunkyTownHoeDown@reddit

No, they didn't. Not one machine gun was ever recovered.

[-]

Pinejay1527@reddit

Wow, sounds like maybe they should've arrested them outside the compound when they went shopping when they didn't have the machine guns then.

Oh but then how would FBI have been able to play soldier?

[-]

InitialAd4125@reddit

ATF actually the FBI just took over after the ATF fucked up big time.

[-]

DerringerOfficial@reddit

I’ve don’t a ridiculous amount of searching for photo evidence that they had any fully assembled belt feds. It doesn’t exist. Feel free to provide evidence showing otherwise.

[-]

InitialAd4125@reddit

So they were going against unjust laws then?

[-]

KaijuTia@reddit

Wouldn’t be the first time the po-po went overkill. Remember that time in Philly when they dropped high explosives from a helicopter Bashar al-Assad style to kill a bunch of people from MOVE and wound up killing like a half-dozen kids and burning down like 60+ houses?

[-]

fusillade762@reddit

They then gave the remains of those kids to a pathologist to "study", unknown to the family of course. Now that its come to light, they refuse to return the remains for burial...40 years later. Bunch of ghouls. Not saying MOVE were all sweetness and light, but barrel bombs on kids? Not a good look for Philly PD.

[-]

KaijuTia@reddit

And the Branch Davidians weren’t sunshine and rainbows either, but man you think the cops would have learned about the concept of “media optics”.

[-]

fusillade762@reddit

True. Also, making a situation worse by gross over reaction.

[-]

KaijuTia@reddit

My guess is they wanted the most overt show of force humanly possible, because they were afraid letting the siege drag on too long might encourage other, more violent groups to try the same tactics.

And they handled it the absolute worst way possible.

[-]

MikeyMcdubs@reddit

Yeah, they likely wanted to set an example. We already saw Ruby Ridge the year before so they probably didn't want a repeat of that. Kind of fitting they actually made it worse and caused Oklahoma city to happen.

[-]

[-]

LuckyNumberS13V3N@reddit

Ah, very nice. My favorite little known fact of the Waco siege... They quite literally dropped Tier 1 assets in to "advise" on how best to kill the people in the compound...

[-]

i_love_ankh_morpork@reddit

After they burned dozens of kids. Classy

In some of the photos of these hero feds posing in front of the still smoldering rubble you can make out bodies in the rubble.

Honestly this is mild compared to the guys posing in front of kids that burned to death

[-]

TheLastSollivaering@reddit

I don't see much difference. This pic, the one you mention, ruzzians posing with a kid skull. Some of the pics may be more graphic than others, but they all deserve the same, a swift kick to the groin with a landmine.
