3. Lemme try to answer each of your questions.

Anybody know how Waco would have been treated under Bush?

He would likely never wait as long as Clinton. Wanting to always appear tough, he would've attacked and leveled the compound killing everybody sooner than what actually happened. More people would've died if Bush was in charge.

Was David Koresch one of them?

Do you mean "religious fundamentalist"? Yeah, in my view. I'm sure the feelings were mixed. On one hand, he's very evangelical, but on the other, his preaching that he is the Messiah would offend just as many.

Would the public have responded differently if it was a Black Panther camp?

There would've been more support for the use of violence in certain White, conservative sections of the power structure, in my view. Can't have the Blacks getting all uppity now, can we? A bunch of Black people setting an example for other Blacks is not a good thing in their eyes.
