I suspect the anonymous poster already knows all of the following and is
just trying to troll, but on the slim chance that he doesn't, here are the
facts:
The ATF claims that the agents began shooting after they had approached the
front door and were surprised by full-auto fire shot *through the door* from
inside the church. One agent testified how he was terrified once the saw the
wood splinters flying out of the (metal...) door.
The survivors (and two of their attorneys that visited them in the religious
retreat after the ATF assault) claimed that the bullet holes in the door
were from the outside in, not from the inside out. If there are no bullet
holes from the inside out, the ATF's claim that the churchgoers fired first
through the door would be disproved. But of course the door is missing.
Circular argument, my ass.
