One of these things is not like the others
Waco?
Yeah I’d have been alright with Janet Reno following it up with sending armed troops in to firebomb all the hundreds of cult compounds across this nation. Good riddance to those pedophile nutjobs, instead of continuing going after that sort of decay we let them fester and it contributed to the rot we see today in America. We could have made up for lost time not finishing Reconstruction, Sherman-style.
I don’t want them firebombed, but yeah the backlash against Waco is how the Zion Ranch was able to exist as long as it did. In the aftermath of Waco as long as your cult claims to be Christian and is armed the feds will let you get away with so much bs for so long.
The problem with Waco was the firebombing itself. The cops wanted a big standoff rather than just arresting the cult leader when he went out into town, which he did repeatedly.
Leaderless cults can be picked apart without gunfire.
Or a pile of innocent dead kids
You know like 30 innocent little kids were killed right?

Building 7?

Buildings 1 through 6 weren’t ominous enough.

People say that Building 7 was the bees knees and Building 8 ruined it. Building 9 never existed, and Building 10 was promised to be the Building to end all Buildings. So anyway, Building 12 is coming soon.
