25 years since the Waco tragedy.

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

It has been 25 years since the government decided to raid the Branch Davidian Compound and deprive citizens of the rights granted to them by the founding of this country, life liberty and property.

The people of the Branch Davidian compound are often referred to as a cult, but what is a cult? A number of people blindly following a person or "idol", even if the leader is harming its people they follow. This sounds a whole lot like the state, however the state is much larger in scale and much MUCH more harmful.

It is still fuzzy on every detail of what took place inside the compound before the siege, however for the most part these people were trying to live their lives in the eyes of god and not the government, trying to live life and protect their families. The fact that they armed themselves should not be bad, how many people did they kill before the siege? As far as I know 0 people were harmed by branch Davidians with any weapons before the siege. It was not until the government decided citizens arming themselves with enough weapons to go to war with the government was not ok (god forbid the 2nd amendment be followed to allow us to protect against tyrannical governments). That is exactly what happened, War. The ATF showed up and had the mindset that they were the power in charge and would go in and take these people prisoner. Well the Davidians had a different idea and people died because of the ignorance of the state.

Regardless of what you think of David Koresh, these were still people and a lot of them died because the state decided they couldn't let people be free. Now the blood is on their hands and this is something the American people will never forget and the more information spreads the less people are going to eat up the states bullshit and lies.

We as people need to learn from this and understand that the state does not have our best interest in mind and will do everything in its power to make people examples of the power of the state. The family at ruby ridge just wanted to live in piece away from the state, now most of that family is dead. There are many examples large and small, domestic and international of the evil the state is capable of. It is because of these actions we see the state take again and again that we need to finally rid ourselves of this parasite known as the US government. We can live as free individuals capable of many great things when left alone and allowed our god given right for life, liberty and property.

Rest in peace to the 82 men, women and children who died at the Waco siege 25 years ago, and to all the others who have been victims of the state, I give my most sincere apology and ask you join us in our march towards freedom and not continue to allow others to be victims of the state.
