51 Bloody Days Later The Siege Ended -- 76 People Were Killed -- None Were Government Agents
Light editing for punctuation or expanding words from abbreviations has been done, but the words are basically as was said, off the top of my head on Twitter.
It should be noted, initially there was only a warrant for one single man. The religious separatists living at the compound were not under criminal investigation, nor were there any warrants for their apprehension. We were told their leader was who was wanted.
The government waged a war, and attacked a whole group of peaceful people, who were bothering no one, in order to execute a warrant against ONE MAN.
This is not an attempt at an exhaustive dissection of all that went wrong -- it was a series of impromptu tweets. My opinion.
The reader is encouraged to research other sources to get a more comprehensive view, of what I personally see as a very dark chapter in not just American history, but the history of freedom and democracy at large. -- James MacArthur, Agitator-In-Chief
