ATF Social Media Dumpster Fire

[nehalemguy]

If you would like to see an absolute train wreck, head over to the ATF Facebook page and find the post honoring the four agents killed at the Waco/Brach Davidian compound.

9k comments and over 7k shares so far in the 21 hours since it was posted. The very first comment nailed it....."This is not going to go the way you think it's going to go."

I dont really blame those guys. The series of bad decisions that led up to the events in Waco were made way above their heads.

Agreed, but it would have probably best to have simply honored them within the agency and not posted on social media as something heroic.

That BATFINK post almost appears a psychological experiment. It seems to be working.

Those are some poignantly humorous comments.... or is it humorously poignant?

I would not have commented on their FB post, but really, it does go to show that they sometimes seem pretty clueless. Really, what manager thought this was a good idea to post this?

Agree. And I don't blame those who killed them for trying to defend themselves either.

Laws currently in the legislature here in the PNW will likely result in similar outcomes.

It goes to show that their upper management is clueless and out of touch with reality. Reality being the agents followed orders and those that gave the orders should have been jailed. Murder or manslaughter either way the death toll of innocents in this assault justified charges.

Here's an old joke from the time-
"Guess who quit smoking the other day?"
-"I don't know"
"David Koresch!"

Ahhh yes. Good ol' shakey-shake Janet Reno.
Where did that woman drive off to in her little red truck she romanticized about?
