re janet reno killed the waco children in article apr ncsu edu dsh eceyv ncsu edu doug holtsinger writes janet reno killed the waco children she is responsible for their deaths she should resign immediately she should have understood that david koresh was a madman who would do anything against the children if he became provoked all the warning signs were there and she ignored them she provoked koresh into killing the children janet reno the fbi et al were nothing but pawns in koresh s game he was a madman who was going to hurt the children and everyone else in the compound no matter what the fbi did the situation in waco was similar to a hostage situation with a madman holding a gun against the head of an innocent person in such a situation a person who provokes the madman and causes him to pull the gun s trigger is responsible for the death of the hostage janet reno blindly stumbled in there and basically threw a tear gas container at the madman hoping that he would release the hostage it s no surprise that the madman would pull the trigger in response to that kind of provocation such a hostage situation has taken place on numerous occasions with the result of the police trying to take the place by force and the result being the death of the hostages and the gunmen however this is the first time i ve heard of the blame landing squarely on the police in this country we have a policy of not negotiating a back down from terrorists and hostage takers since that only encourages other terrorists and hostage takers richard
