Twenty years ago today...

...agents of the ATF conducted a raid on a compound of armed religious apocalyptics with the intent to arrest their leader on firearms violations. They could have picked him up during one of his daily incursions into nearby Waco but that wouldn't have played as well on the evening news. The day ended as anybody but a government bureaucrat might have expected: four agents and five Davidians dead. Hell followed.
