Thank you so much for this. Depressing, infuriating, but spot on. You could add Philadelphia, 1985 -- although that was local "law enforcement" vs. federal a-hole thugs.

Koresh's cult was not an offshoot of Seventh-day Adventism. He was thrown out of the SDA church for preaching things Adventist leaders believed were false. Then he started his own cult, completely unaffiliated with the SDA church.
Good meme drop. Heavy, but true. I will never forget.
