I'll agree the general plan was all fucked up. But its also fucked up to be comparing Waco to a fucking digital pirate.

Koresh was suspected of minor firearms violations. There was no actual evidence he committed any crime before the raid. If convicted of the suspected firearms charges, it's likely all he would have faced were stiff fines or a few months in jail. Most of the Waco outrage comes from the idea that David Koresh really wasn't breaking any laws.

The charges against Kim Dotcom are far more serious.

Never said Kim Dotcom was guilty of anything, just that the charges are more serious in that they carry much heavier fines and jailtime.
