So true!

Best documentary on it:

" Waco, the Big Lie, (available on YouTube), the 1993 32-minute documentary by Linda Thompson (attorney) is superior to all other documentaries on the Waco seige, including the 1999 Oscar winning Waco: The Rules Of Engagement (2h15m). Waco II, the Big Lie Continues is a 1994 follow up addressing criticisms of the original. The first one get's you 99% of where you want to go. Watching other documentaries is not really necessary and will only confirm details or show you what "they" are not telling you. Waco, the 2018 TV miniseries was actually pretty good but far from the complete story. "

They did get bombed. The federal building bombing was two years later to the day. Sending a message.

    The Oklahoma federal building bombing? You've heard of it? It was revenge for the Waco massacre.
