Even the local police said they could have arrested him any day of the week away from the compound They said he would be in town alone picking up supplies so I'm not sure why they felt the need to storm it

At the time (1993) I remember thinking why don't they just starve them out? Honestly you could just have snipers posted outside 24/7 and they (the Branch Dividians) would be restricted to the interior of the compound. No farming allowed.

I know they were prepared for government intervention into their lives, but I wonder how much food they had stockpiled.

Cops love that shite. That is why they execute no-knock raids on trailer parks and throw flash-bangs in baby cribs.

Baby in Coma After Police 'Grenade' Dropped in Crib During Drug Raid



By TINA CHEN



A Georgia toddler has been put into a medically induced coma after he was badly burned by a police "flash bang" grenade that landed in the crib where the boy was sleeping during a drug raid, his mother told ABC News today.

The raid occurred before dawn Wednesday night in Habersham County while the Phonesavanh family was sleeping.

"It was a big flash, a loud bang, a bunch of yelling, and my son screaming," the boy's mom, Alecia Phonesavanh, 27, told ABC News.

"Two of my other girls were next to my husband. There was a member of the SWAT team pinning him down, another man had my son who was screaming and crying," Phonesavanh said.

"At that time I didn't see his playpen, but I kept telling him to 'Please just give him to me,'" Phonesavanh said of 19-month-old son Bounkham. "'He's just scared.'"

Fedgov flexing its muscles, clearly.

Can you imagine the uproar if Trump ordered something like this on a leftist compound?
The streets would burn, and the media would fan the flames.
