Looking back, I'm not sure when my anti-corrupt government sentiments had developed, but I remember that this one enraged me, and was a real eye-opener. I think I was 13 when Waco occured, and I had watched the burning "compound" on Channel One News. Of course, at the time, I thought they were bad guys and got killed by our heroic men in black. Of course, I'd learn otherwise later. Watching this film, and seeing the Feds act like a bunch of drunken frat boys, saying how they were going to kill everyone, was very telling. I haven't watched it in awhile, but isn't there a scene in which the Feds are mooning the people in the compound? That's certainly the least of their crimes, but it sums up what they are: brutal, souless children.
In any case, this one got me interested in looking up Ruby Ridge, and I had thought that one to be even more enraging, despite the smaller body count.
