I understand you weren't referring to Waco...but I don't see much difference in the behavior of any of these religious/survivalist/militia perps and their anti-government/while-I'm-on-the-dole bs. They know that the government is more humanistic than they are and after the bad press from Waco (because the only two things bad about Waco were the press and the fact that the adults murdered all the children), they're probably going to back away. As far as I'm concerned, whether it's a street altercation with the local coppers, or Ruby Ridge, or Waco...when you fire on the authorities at some point you're gonna get wiped. As long as it's the murderous adults getting wiped, I have no sympathy for them. And in these situations, if children are hurt, the blood is on the hands of their parents.
