Branch Davidian's Getting Out Of Prison

[Milton Bradley]

Quote by: from the article WACO, Texas (AP) -- Thirteen years after the Branch Davidians' armed standoff with federal agents ended in an inferno that killed nearly 80 people, six of the remaining sect members are about to get out of prison. Most of those who will be freed over the next two months escaped from the compound near Waco as it burned to the ground on April 19, 1993 . The fireball erupted 51 days after a shootout that broke out when federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents tried to arrest religious leader David Koresh for stockpiling guns and explosives. The six men went to federal prison for manslaughter, weapons offenses or both in connection with the shootout, which left four federal agents and six Davidians dead. Once the men are out, they will be on supervised release for three to five years. Among other things, they will be barred from associating with one another. A seventh Davidian is also still behind bars but is not scheduled for release until next year.

Hmmmm...

Nice post Milt.

This part here gets me......

Once the men are out, they will be on supervised release for three to five years. Among other things, they will be barred from associating with one another.

Are they going to be wearing shoulder or forehead cams too, so they can assure no electronic mailing takes place from public places? I guess murdering their famillies, burning down and seizing their property, and gassing the kids wasn't enough?

Well, you didn't really expect the punishment to fit the crime, did you?


Oh wait, what crime?


I always thought the prison sentence was the punishment for the crime. WTF is this electronic surveilance shit anyway?


More evidence that justice, or the rule of law really have no place in modern US policies.


All aboard! ( the "railroad" )


Just like 9/11, the media was too quick with the disinformation, and focusing in the wrong areas for most people to be concerned over such "nutjobs".

You see, even the typo mistake I made in another post fits here. Sometimes the "vicitms" are prosecuted by the courts. I yi yi and on and on..... :rolleyes:

Welcome back to Purgatory, Men...you've done your time in Hell.

an inferno that killed nearly 80 people

...That the Feds started in the first place...

Most of those who will be freed over the next two months escaped from the compound near Waco as it burned to the ground on April 19, 1993 .

...While under sniper and automatic-weapons fire from the FBI and BATF...

The fireball erupted

...after some asshat Fed STARTED IT, either by accident or design...

agents tried to arrest religious leader David Koresh for stockpiling guns and explosives.

...Which, as it turned out, never existed...(sound familliar?)

manslaughter

..."manslaughter" assumes the killing was accidental...

weapons offenses

...WHAT offenses?...

four federal agents...dead

...only one of whom was shot by Davidians, the rest having been shot by FELLOW AGENTS...
