Today marks 15 years since the Branch Davidian standoff began at Mount Carmel when the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms attempted to execute a search warrant at the compound. Gunfire was exchanged, resulting in the deaths of four ATF agents and six Davidians.
...[F]our carloads of federal agents left the compound this morning after paying their respects to the ATF agents who died a decade and a half ago.
I guess the bright side is, while "four carloads" of BATFUers are giving themselves a paid day off on the taxpayers' dime, they're not out there victimizing anyone. I also notice there's nothing about paying respects for the 76 people, including two pregnant women and 21 children, 12 under five, who weren't "Only Ones."

Federally committed mass murder memorialized by four carloads of accomplices.
Would have been a much more accurate lead-in to the story.
I'll pay my respects to those ATF agents next time I eat too many spicy burritoes and my intestines explode.
I cannot state strongly enough my utter contempt for that rogue government agency. To do so any stronger in public would no doubt add me to a list...if I'm not on one already.
*spit*
And promotions with salary increases went to Sarabyn, Hojnacki (atf) and Potter (fbi?), if memory serves.
