    a religious cult that was armed to the teeth, who refused to surrender to the police in a 50+ day siege and had prepped their own compound with flammables.

    That’s all very likely propaganda spread by the FBI after shit went down. Incidentally these two collosal fuck ups is what inspired the unibomber.

    Loving the downvotes. Educate yourselves before hitting that button.

      Yea, they were a bit cultish, but most of the propaganda definitely came after the fact/during. I remember thinking “where the hell did this cult stuff come from suddenly?” It had all been in the news for a year before Reno? and Clinton had those people murdered.

      And even if they were cultish, none of the PR justifies the feds actions.

      And if you haven’t read the Unabombers manifesto… Let’s just say it’ll expose how much the government lies about this stuff.
