How the media lies.

Read this then explain to me the headline. The headline and the second picture are total distortions of what is happening. First of all the headline reads Russian cult members barricaded in cave 'to blow themselves up before end of world'. I read a few different versions of the story and it seems to me its a twist on reality. These people want to be left alone or they threaten to kill everyone in the compound. I don't quite understand what they did or why the government will not leave them alone. If they want to live in a cave who cares. Why is this such a big deal.

Secondly the branch Davidians were burned alive in their compound. Did Koresh threaten to blow himself up if the government did not leave him alone? In fact what did David Koresh do to allow for the killing of all those people including children. The tragedy in Waco just shows that our government can come in and kill anyone including children. We won't even care either. I bet most of you are saying, Koresh was a madman he deserved to die. Therein lies our problem.

Perhaps the Government is quick on the trigger for those proclaiming to be a prophet?

I think you have your theory of the Davidians all wrong. They were stock-piling illegal assault weapons and there were claims of child molestation and rape (by those who defected.) In fact, it was teh Davidians that opened fire which caused the chaos.

Koresh was raping women. Girls too I believe. Situation was handled badly though.

We both obviously have too much time on our hands today.
