Thanks for rising to the occassion.

The point's well taken that both Koresh and Brown had similar tax evasion issues, though, although I will point out that Koresh had other laws that he was...ignoring?

If there were indeed 'other laws' that koresh was ignoring, why did ONLY the BATF execute a raid? If the 'other laws' were actually accurate, one would think that we'd have seen the FBI initiate the raid, or at the very least, it would have been a regular police SWAT team, but no. The ATF, which has jurisdiction over federal firearms legislation, made a raid on unpaid taxes for some guns. Without concrete proof that there were other laws being 'ignored', you were the recipient of smoke up the rear orifice.
