What do you think, so far?
Where can it be viewed? I heard Spike, but I'm not sure if that is true.
Yeah, Spike-now the Paramount channel. No idea what the source material is for this but it's no documentary that's for sure. Started to watch when I heard about the tragedy in Adams County, don't think I'll continue with it.

Watched, will continue. Curious to see where it goes.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
Heard the NPR interview with the lead Negotiator and one of the surviving members. Would be interested in seeing it, but alas we don't have TV.
The Negotiator agreed with the survivor that the tactical elements pooched everything. They insisted on things the negotiation team told them not to do, such as loud music on perimeter aimed at compound. Negotiators told them 1) it doesn't work 2) it's against FBI policy 3)it doesn't help the negotiation process etc. Tactical team kept overriding agreed upon terms between negotiation team and members inside. Essentially, the negotiators and members would take 2 steps forward and the tactical teams would push it all 3 steps back. Eventually, it resulted in the conflagration of the compound.
Apparently the FBI tactical team wanted to be Delta Force in Panama and the Negotiators wanted to do their actual job.
I wonder if they will cut it off after the shooting starts like the other "made for tv" movies were about it. Never showing that they weren't letting anyone out alive. Janet Reno and the Clintons for you.

Spoilers ahead....
They all die in the end.
I bet you ruined the movie Titanic for a lot of people as well. [Coffee]Quote:

Why? What happened at the end of titanic? Was everybody okay...?Quote:

Yes, the Coast Guard came with hot chocolate and teddy bears, and everyone lived happily ever after.Quote:

I watched a show about Waco several weeks back, probably the same one I'm guessing.
I was interested in it and I learned some things about the whole ordeal that I didn't know previously. There is something very intriguing to me about a "leader" with enough personality and charisma to convince a large group of people to follow his interpretation of beliefs and be convincing enough, and trusted enough to maintain his Flock for an extended period of time.
Manson, Jones, Koresh and Applewhite....etc...had the magic gift of getting people to follow without question. Fascinating.

Which brings up another topic altogether.... obama is a dork, right place and apparent right time. People may be bitching about Trump running the helm, but I can say that I would have written this country off had Hillary had been elected, and ceremoniously bury my flag in the back yard never to be flown by me again.
