- Quotes
Self - FBI Hostage Rescue Team, Sniper: It was a rain of paper that had burned, and had floated up into the thermals of the heat and there were individual pages of Bibles. It was raining Bible pages into these embers, and the embers were 1.6 million rounds of rifle ammo cooking off. So it's ammo popping up everywhere you go, and skulls everywhere, and half-burned bodies. I mean it was apocalyptic carnage. I don;t know what Hell looks like, but... . maybe that.
Ok, so do The FBI and other authorities use this as a training guide, on how not to deal with a situation? The level of stupidity here is shocking.
David Koresh, clearly had major issues, the possible child abuse, the blasphemy, the storing of huge numbers of weapons, but the way that this was handled......in the first two episodes the agents and authorities made out like they were hero figures.... putting tear gas into a building with children in it, that's just abhorrent.
Hearing Clinton using the words 'reasonable force,' there are no words.
After a 51 day siege, 80 people died as a result of incompetence, stupidity and ultimately decisions that cost many lives.
Shameful.
8/10.
