It also occured to me that The 11 surviving Branch Davidians were acquitted of
murder and murder-conspiracy charges in a trial after the Waco holocaust (some
were convicted on other weapons and other charges). Patricia Africa was
acquitted of attempted murder after the Philadelphia police burned an entire
square block of townhouses to the ground in an attempt to enforce the city’s
Health Code against the MOVE house.
