From: Gary Hunt at the Outpost of Freedom in Waco, Texas
Date: MARCH 17, 1993 In recent FBI/BATF press
conferences we have been told that the church members at
the Branch Davidian complex have a .50 caliber machine
gun and that they had set up an ambush for the BATF
assault conducted on February 28, 1993. Based upon all of
the other information that has been so graciously
provided by the BATF/FBI, it appears quite probable that
this is the case.
Perhaps, however, if we were to apply a little common
sense in the evaluation of this information we might draw
different conclusions.
Let us suppose that we are intent upon ambushing
federal forces who we know are coming to arrest us and
search our property. We have a .50 caliber machine gun
and our complex has a four story tower from which nearly
the entire property can be viewed. We mount the machine
gun in the optimum location in the tower so that we have
a field of fire that covers most of the available access
to the property. Federal forces come rolling in,
unprepared for the rain of fire that will soon be
showering down on them.
We wait, patiently, while the forces exit their
vehicles, waiting until most have exposed themselves to
the deadly fire that will soon come from above. Finally
the moment is at hand, BATF forces caught exposed,
climbing ladders and standing behind their vehicles,
which will offer no cover from the bullets soon to be
embedding themselves in the ground and the bodies of
those who would encroach upon our sacred grounds.
After just a few minutes of unrelenting fire the
battle is over. The press, who have been watching and
filming this apparently staged event, begin counting the
bodies lying bloody upon the ground.
Sixty bodies, obviously dead, torn to bloody pulp by
the impact of this powerful weapon of defense. Forty more
writhing in agony due to the maiming wounds inflicted by
this awesome weapon. The remaining twenty, or so
soldiers, fleeing for their very lives.
