If you had time to do the research, you would find testimony from a number of his "wives" (e.g., girls raped when they were 13 and up) and some of their parents.Waco was a fustercluck from the get go.
Whether Howell was a child molester, or not is debatable on the fact that he's not alive to refute those allegations. Remember, innocent until proven guilty, in a court of law.
I understand why BATF got involved. Again, allegations that he had some illegal weapons. (Shades of Randy Weaver, and Ruby Ridge.)
BATF got involved because they still had egg on their face from Ruby Ridge, and needed to show the public that they mattered.
If the allegations of child abuse were true, then it clearly was a job for CPS and local LE agencies, not the BATF. If their allegations were also true, they very well could have piggy backed a case and investigated it while he was in county lock up.
I have no idea whether he was innocent, or guilty for anything he was accused of, and we will never know for sure, since he's dead now.
I will add this. If he was guilty of being a child molester, I hope he's burning in hell. If he was innocent, I hope that someday the truth comes out.
No war, just a good discussion, hopefully enlightening some folks.I just wanted to wish everyone happy San Jacinto day not start a war
