But so did Weaver and Koresh.

Lets see...Weaver...a total of 5 people kept the FBI and ATF at arms
length for how long again? And the death toll was what again? And
how much money did Weaver get from the Feebs when it was all over?

Now Koresh..how many adults died in that little fiasco and how long
did it keep the government at arms length? Lets see...55
adults..only a few of whom were armed and 28 children against the FBI,
The ATF and Delta Force for how long? 4 dead ATF and 16 wounded ATF
and 6 killed residents in the surprise attack. 50 days wasnt it and
it involved the ultimate use of tanks and fire to take out the
cultiists. And tied up the FBI and ATF for nearly 2 months.
And the fall out from that has still crippled the ATF

Consider that in both cases, the Feds held a perimeter that only
had to look inwards. Can you imagine what would have happened if the
various militias had shown up to add their input?

If the Davidians had been as dangerous as the Feds claimed, not an
agent would have gotten out of the horse trailers unscathed. Something
the Progressives might keep in mind in the future.
