You're raving. The Weavers didn't hold off the agents for any real time, and
at Mt.Carmel, they didn't storm the Branch Davidians because they didn't want
to die. If your logic were correct, then why did they decide to assault the
Weavers when kids were present and why didn't they assault the Branch Davidians
as soon as the kids were clear?
Your claim that they were using the children as human shields is the same as
claiming that _I_ am doing so because I have a child in my house too. That's
nuts.
