What makes Waco stand out, is that they surrounded the place, played at negotiating a way out, then when they got tired of waiting the made up an excuse (typical Clintinoid "it's for the children") and blew the place up. The coldly calculated premeditated nature is what some find so revolting.
That said, I will not enter into a calculus of evil where we assign this inhuman act this value and the other one that value. Yes the pigs are out of control all over the place. Yes that is systemic and institutionalized. But I will not enter a debate over whether the killing of,say, Diallo is more or less evil than the burning of the compound at Waco.

Why the people's revolutionary tribunal, of course.
