Waco siege

you, Sebastian.

Join us next time as we speak with author Brett Anthony Johnston about how he almost became a professional skater, why he ultimately walked away, and the deep research he did for his novel We Burn Daylight, inspired by the 1993 Waco Massacre.

See you then.

Secretly Sporty was created and is produced by Sebastian Langdell and Austin Ratcliffe.

Like that's his whole channel is like the cryptid iceberg talking about stuff like that.

Sometimes he'll have random videos that are like, let's talk about Waco.

And you're like, oh, that's a whole thing.

Oh, learned about that one recently.

I used to play a lot of Call of Duty, like back when trash talking had become an art form.

It was also around the same time that people started swatting each other and stuff like that so there was always a concern that some uber hacker was going to find your address and turn your front yard into Waco.

There was like 0.01% chance of that actually happening but it was still a legitimate concern.

Anyways, I was playing this one game with a kid who was admittedly kicking my butt so I was giving him all kinds of hell over that game chat.

After 51 days, 76 people lay dead.

This tragedy is known as the Waco Siege.

Eleven years before that, in the summer of 1982, another atrocity rocked the city, one that's never been forgotten.

It involved three teenagers whose lives were cut far too short.

I'm going to leave now.

I hated how we're all being listening to, just like when the ATF and the FBI bugged the Mount Carmel Waco compound.

Which they did.

They sent in milk and they bugged the milk crates.

And whenever you're dealing with wild ass crazy religious extremists, you never know.

Maybe there is a compound somewhere and they have some kind of Waco David Koresh type shit going on.

Thankfully, that wasn't the case here.

But when you're investigating it, you have to do your due diligence and you have to track things down wherever they might lead.

So some great individual ATF, but ATF as an agency was responsible for the Ruby Ridge Tobacco.

Then they were responsible for the Waco Massacre.

Then they were responsible, likely, for the Oklahoma City.

Just had Margaret Roberts back on talking about that.

In some cases, cults end in an absolute disaster.

Think Waco.

Think Jonestown.

There are lots of cults out there still in practice.
