"The Waco siege was the siege of a compound belonging to the Branch Davidians, carried out by American federal and Texas state law enforcement, as well as the U.S. military, between February 28 and April 19, 1993. The Branch Davidians were led by David Koresh and were headquartered at Mount Carmel Center ranch in the community of Axtell, Texas, 13 miles (21 kilometers) east-northeast of Waco. Suspecting the group of stockpiling illegal weapons, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) obtained a search warrant for the compound and arrest warrants for Koresh and a select few of the group's members.
The incident began when the ATF attempted to raid the ranch. An intense gun battle erupted, resulting in the deaths of four government agents and six Branch Davidians. Upon the ATF's failure to raid the compound, a siege lasting 51 days was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Eventually, the FBI launched an assault and initiated a tear gas attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out of the ranch. During the attack, a fire caused by Federal agents engulfed Mount Carmel Center. In total, 86 people, 82 of which were innocent died, including David Koresh. "
Daily reminder that you're living in a nightmarish police state.

I should add that, of course, it is precisely those actions which would >>12453557
…which will get you Wacoed.
If you hole up in the backwoods alone, stay under the radar, just sit there with a pile of guns and preserved food, then unless it has the whimsical urge to make an example of a random someone who happens to be you, the System will probably leave you alone. Because all you do is meaningless, and will die with you. That is exactly what marks you as not a threat! It is not about "paying taxes" or not "upsetting the local political ecosystem". Doing nothing for your posterity is what makes you "safe" for the System.
