Smokers will hand it over in higher cigarette prices, and a small group of parasitic trial lawyers will collect it with forklifts. The other outrageous jury decision was the exoneration of the FBI in the Waco massacre. Let's look at this episode. Faster than Bill Clinton's belt buckle, the FBI orchestrates a series of press conferences to inform us that the leader of what is now labeled a cult is a dangerously unstable maniac. The geniuses at the FBI decide to handle this unstable person by depriving him of sleep, blaring music at him 24 hours a day, and shining spotlights in the windows all night.
Armored vehicles appear, and helicopters circle the place constantly.
Snipers are positioned for optimum shots, and an assault team begins assembling. That's the way to calm a paranoid maniac. But the real bothersome thing was the FBI's claim to have heard through their bugs that Koresh was planning to burn the place and kill everyone if attacked. Far from exonerating the FBI of blame, this revelation condemns them. At the very best, this sounds like negligent homicide on an unprecedented scale - certainly the cause of wrongful deaths.
