Ruby Ridge was due to overly zealous FED agents basically brow beating a guy into cutting a double barrel shotgun down shorter than allowed without the stamp. The guy should have told them to F off but I think a “friend” of his was applying pressure as well. So they set him up and got themselves promoted for killing people for no good reason.

Waco could have been handled in town instead of playing all ATF SWAT. That idiot Koresh would have been easy pickings in town coming out of a store or on the road to the compound. More murder promotions for many.
