Wife and I watched this on Netflix over the last two days. Great acting job by Taylor Kitsch (Tim Riggins from FNL) and overall just a very well done drama series. I was in college when this happened at A&M so I knew a bit about it but, like most college students, I was not watching the daily news at all!

I also learned a bit about Ruby Ridge which I never really knew much about.

Highly recommend the watch!

Awesome. This is on Netflix now? I missed it when it first aired on Paramount, but wanted to see it. Just in time for me needing something new to watch.

Is this the mini series that was done by Paramount? It was pretty good.

Really enjoyed it. I think it was my first lengthy exposure to Ruth from Ozark as well.

Just finished it. Wow. Really infuriating how ATF and FBI handled the situation. If the series is accurate, what a black eye for the US law enforcement.

Great series

Great series. My grandfather c/o 58', was risk manager for city and grandmother worked for one of the city's ironically named Mount Carmel water treatment plants at the time. Both have some interesting stories from when it was going on.

Here's the original thread from when the show first came out. Some good discussion on this thread, obviously spoilers (If you consider them spoilers) throughout.

If you visit the compound, you can go in the new chapel. On the wall opposite the Trump flags and that "Hillary for prison" banner, they have a bunch of the ATF trophy pictures from the trail. They are pretty disgusting and I can certainly see why they turned a pedophile cult leader into a sympathetic victim.

They reacted to federal overreach by being anti-DC. The horror.

Did you expect them to put up "Thank your ATF agent" banner?

Of course not. Hell that was probably the least surprised I have ever been seeing a trump flag.

Not to nitpick but Koresh was not a pedo. Pedos are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. Koresh "married" several sexually mature teenage girls that were part of his cult. This sexual attraction to sexually mature underage people is also semi common among high school teachers and coaches and totally ok if you're a character on Desperate Housewives.

I'm glad Koresh is dead. He got a lot of mostly innocent people killed. If our govt had any integrity they would have simply arrested him outside of the compound then peacefully served their warrant without bloodshed.

One other thing about the Davidians and that era and I say this as a conservative. The rise of modern jackboot federal law enforcement began to peak during the Bush 41 administration. The vast majority of agents and officers in decision making roles were already in place when Clinton was elected. I only throw that out as a reminder that the desire for power and control should always be questioned regardless of the R or D next to the name.

Happy Sunday

There is a line in the series that echoed what I said as we were driving up to the compound "why didn't they just grab him when he was running? There is nothing out here"

I believe it's called ephebophilia, post puberty attraction. Our culture says it's wrong because we made 18 the line for adulthood. Plenty of other cultures that have that line earlier.


Hell america was enthralled in a series who's culture celebrated teenage brides (GOTs). Once a girl is "blooded" she is an adult.

Just some like minded over 40 dudes making sure you know that them wanting to have sex with 14 yr old girls isn't technically called pedophilia.

I watch the Ruby Ridge documentary last Saturday I think it's on Amazon prime, and this week and I'm watching this documentary since I read the thread. The Ruby Ridge documentary is ridiculous, as is this one definitely worth watching

Watched Ruby Ridge this morning. Did it in the reverse order that you're doing it.

Watching Waco made me want to watch Ruby Ridge.

It is on Amazon Prime, but I had to pay to rent it.

How old are you? I've noticed in two different threads recently you've called out people 40+ year old males. It's a strange bit you've got going on.

Not to mention you are the absolute worst poster on the basketball forum.
