They were exercising their 1A and 2A rights. There was effectively no valid evidence of any other crimes of note. And the state did previously investigate allegations of abuses. The worst being a couple of harsh corporal punishment examples.The Davidians were still a victim of their own stupidity more than anything though.
Yeah, like starting with minding their own business. They MURDERED over 75 people.law enforcement could've made better choices at various points.
Never, NEVER forget that the government works for us, not the other way around. WE the people are not subserviant to government.
Yet on nonsense allegations, a literal army of armed government agents with an unlimited budget showed up, initiated a gunfight, killed Davidians, and then apparently burned them down. Because some kids got hard spankings. To "save them."
