Okay, I can't be nice anymore. Randy Weaver is a total douchebag and should have been shot first on that day.
The Waco guy? David Change-My-Name McWhiteJesus? Capping him would have saved a lot of lives, too.
Too bad the good guys have rules that prevent them from doing what would be in the best interest of those involved.
Remember the confused cracker motto: "One man's paranoid racist white trash piece of human filth is another man's patriot."
Let's all fly some confederate flags, wave our copy of The Turner Diaries, and go buy some ANFO. Ignorant motherfuckers.

My only issue with the whole shebang is that the police have the ability to wait for a long period of time. Negotiate, etc.
They're not special forces delta super ninjas... they don't have to exercise the dynamic entry kill-the-bastards option after they get bored.
I think the whole world plays too many video games. Civvies are ready to shoot, cops are ready to shoot... and nobody thinks it through.
Police need to chill the hell out. They've got to realize they have the upper hand 90% of the time and use that power to save lives.
Even in situations where common sense would say that a bullet to the head would be safer, faster, and cheaper than a day in court.
