You were suggesting the raid on Waco was about taxes and all the chaos was totally avoidable.

I’m arguing it was not really about taxes and it was almost certainly not avoidable. Neither “arrest him outside” nor “don’t use CS gas” were likely to avoid the outcome.

You can prove your point by describing how it was avoidable. If your answer is “let people operate child sex slavery compounds if they’re sufficiently well-armed,” that’s an opinion you’re welcome to hold, but just come out and say it.



Koresh having further sex with kids is 100% avoidable with him in jail. As far as I know no one else in the compound was accused of diddling children.
