A different Waco

February 1993, Waco....


Supervisory Internal Affairs Officer Wisdom studied the complaint. He immediately saw that Perez, the agent who blew the whistle, was not a disgruntled employee. Perez's points were a litany:

-The very clumsy cover stories of the purportedly undercover agents.
-The insistance that Koresh could only be captured by a raid and the assumption that he would do nothing to prepare
-A raid to be done by a "swat team" whose swatting experience consisted of a few introductory classes taken long ago
-The stretched grounds justifying the search warrant

Turning to the agent in charge Wisdon announces "This is spiraling down into a cluster fuck of epic proportions" he continues "I am suspending this investigation immediately. You and your agents are going home..."

How does the lack of a Waco raid impact U.S. right wing extremists and their thought?

Another way to get the same POD would be for the ATF to wait for the guys who had all the guns to go to the gun show and for the men to go to work, then snatch Koresh while he was jogging and occupy the compound when there are only women and kids there.

(Grimm Reaper went into detail on this earlier.)

TTL's "Waco" will be more like the Yearning for Zion Ranch episode than OTL's disaster.

Either way, the militia movement will be a lot smaller without the Waco episode to give them credibility.

Now that you mention it, I remember that this had been done. Gosh, is it difficult to think of new scenarios.

As for Waco, no Waco raid / deaths would probably mean no Oklahoma City bombing. Though Mcveigh had numerous "issues with life", Waco became his obsession.
