No.

Koresh was a pedophile and an illegal arms dealer who fired on Federal Agents trying to serve a warrant.

The Branch Davidians got along well with those of the surrounding community. They had some religious beliefs that made them different from other churches, but, then, many of the so-called standard churches differ from each other. Their religious differences were certainly no excuse for the United States government to destroy their home and their lives, especially without a trial. The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right to worship God according to the dictates of one’s own conscience, but the government completely ignored this right in the massacre at Waco.

...

The siege on the Davidian compound began on February 28, 1993. Instead of simply knocking on the front door, 100 BATF agents stormed the compound to arrest David Koresh. Koresh went jogging quite frequently, and the government could have arrested him during those times, but they weren’t interested in simply arresting Koresh. The government wanted a confrontation. Unthreatened BATF and FBI agents opened fire with automatic weapons at the front door and the walls, knowing that there were innocent women and children inside.

...

During this siege, four BATF agents were killed. The four BATF agents, that died on February 28, had all been bodyguards for Bill Clinton from the time of the Democratic convention until Bill Clinton became president. These four BATF agents were the only federal agents to die in the siege at Waco. Linda Thompson’s videotape entitled Waco, the Big Lie, shows that those BATF agents were not killed or shot at by Branch Davidians. The tape shows the agents going into the compound through an upstairs window. It then shows the other BATF agent, who is out on the roof, actually shooting in through the window where those BATF agents had just entered. Those four BATF agents, who were bodyguards of Bill Clinton, were killed by their own people!

well they were and they are the administrators of the property in question. that is simply a fact. Bundy is so wrong that I can't see how anyone can;t get that. I wonder why how he has avoided jail.

I disagree that the Feds were wrong. The Feds showed dicretion that saved lives....the Bundy vigilantes were gonna murder

I won't ridicule your perception, but I do challenge it.

Even Reid, who was wrong in his statements , only getting involved AFTER the fact as well, said it best..... "we are a nation of laws".

That being said, since when are armed federal agents used to collect a debt, placing sniper sights on peaceful protests, tazing people for only vocal outcry and threatening them with attack dogs, also tackling a pregnant woman?

The law states that the feds should have worked with local law enforcement to procure an arrest by warrant.... they did not!

The property could have been attached by lien for the non-paid grazing fees.... but it was not, and a statement was made by an attorney that they felt they would lose that action in court so instead took direct unlawful action.

They shot and killed 2 prize bulls, many dozens more cows and calves burying them in a mass grave (this could only be an action to injure his livelihood as a cattle rancher....why else kill his only two stud bulls?), damaged water holes and troughs the local wildlife also used..... there is NO excuse or law that condones these actions for the simple collection of a supposed debt!

He may have lost in a federal court, but it was their court, their judge, their dept, and the BLM walked out with the simple statement that it was "their" land, and "they" were the law, and he was guilty without the case even being presented or defended. They then asked for the warrants and were granted them. There was no trial!

That is why Bundy refused to pay the BLM even tho he paid the state and county, and why they couldn't have won a case for a lien on the property. There was no court order awarded to the feds by the fed court when they walked out of the suit Bundy had filed against them.... only the warrants later requested and received!

These actions should scare everyone! What if the feds want your home or property next?

Try reading this from another federal judges perception of the events in HIS 140 page ruling!

Federal Judge: BLM Engaged In A Criminal Conspiracy Against Ranchers

Slimy Reid and son.....

He pisses off enough folks, may God help the little hijo de perra he trespasses on the wrong person's property.

As in Texas, thousands of acres of ranchland and thousands of abandoned wells he could accidently fall into.

Bundy Ranch: The Agenda 21 "Shot" Heard 'Round The World

The United States government is NOT concerned about the desert tortoise. There is something much larger at stake...a much bigger reason to lead an armed insurrection against a family's property as we've seen at the Bundy Ranch. What's for sure is the Bundy Ranch showdown is not over. Harry Reid assures us something big will happen:

"It's obvious that you can'��t just walk away from this. And we can speculate all we want to speculate to what'��s going to happen next," Reid told KSNV-TV. "But I don't think it'��s going to be tomorrow that something is going to happen, but something will happen. We are a nation of laws, not of men and women."

"We are a nation of laws. not of men women." What in the world does that mean!? For the laws, by the laws...I guess.

As Los Angeles Times writes, "The U.S. can't let Cliven Bundy win his range war." Why not?

It seems some of those who think themselves "law makers" also think themselves above them!

Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center discusses the Bundy Ranch standoff's far right connections and scholar and activist Mark Mason says this is embodied in the goal to privatize the commons

They could have arrested Koresh many times outside of his House,and even in Town!
What the Feds did was premeditated Murder!
I don't agree with Koresh's Religious Persuasion,or with other things he was accused of,and might or might not have done!
But the way the Feds went in was in best NAZI-Tradition!
There wasn't any need to to even shed one drop of blood!

Mock me if you will, call me paranoid, but the parallels of history to every such occasion have shown their ugly head in our own leadership of the last few decades, and who can argue history as a falsehood?

Official Government Documents Label These 72 Types of Americans as Potential Terrorists

Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner? Are you opposed to abortion, globalism, Communism, illegal immigration, the United Nations or the New World Order? Do you believe in conspiracy theories, do you believe that we are living in the "end times" or do you ever visit alternative news websites (such as this one)? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a "potential terrorist" according to official U.S. government documents. At one time, the term "terrorist" was used very narrowly. The government applied that label to people like Osama bin Laden and other Islamic jihadists. But now the Obama administration is removing all references to Islam from terror training materials, and instead the term "terrorist" is being applied to large groups of American citizens. And if you are a "terrorist", that means that you have no rights and the government can treat you just like it treats the terrorists that are being held at Guantanamo Bay. So if you belong to a group of people that is now being referred to as "potential terrorists", please don't take it as a joke. The first step to persecuting any group of people is to demonize them. And right now large groups of peaceful, law-abiding citizens are being ruthlessly demonized.
