D.U.O. CAT the Bounty Hunter is your worst nightmare! Strong with muscle. We're collecting the APOCALYPSE ashes. Smell that JESUS weed. The pulpit censer smokes! JESUS H. CHRIST! GOD D. AM! Listen! What's that sound? Everybody look what's going DOWN!

Insert: Waco, Texas

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
(to the detective)
I want the goddamn leader of this outfit! Fucking Neo-Tech copycats of the goddamn Branch Davidians! This smells like the goddamn air of David Koresh and his suicidal associates. Koresh was born in Houston, Texas in 1959 to a 14-year-old single mom and why do we care? I’ll goddamn tell you why we care! Some scared, innocent 15-year-old is inside that goddamn compound with a baby of her own being held hostage and brainwashed by this fucking cult leader! We’re looking at child abuse and statutory rape here, for Christ’s sake! And we’re not talking about one girl. He’s got a cradle full. I’ve got a 15-year-old daughter and it scares the hell out me.
(outraged)

DETECTIVE
(talks to someone on the other end of his walkie-talkie)
You found a meth lab? Seize those computers before it all blows—this guy recruits on the Internet. We’re coming in. Keep your men in position.

How Long Did It Take For David Koresh to PERISH!

 
I AM COMING!
You won't see ME!
Say a prayer and take
One last toke, one last
Swill of liquor because FIRE
Is on the way!
 
The day has come
For Armageddon and
I am happy to see it
Arrive in all of its guises
Disguises and blackmarket
Enterprises
 
WATER your crop
Watch it wilt its
Death climbing seven
Feet high to the Seven
Seals in Revelation the
Seven Trumpets of multiplicity
 
They delivered the birds 
On a summer day with cheery words 
Two months after may
 
Invoices packed loose
In picnic baskets catching AIR
All colors of gaskets sealed in plastic
 
Ring sealing the junction
Between fate and function
Parroting repeating wings in the crate
How long did it take for David Koresh to
PERISH!

Thanks for the reminder that people need to beware of being brought into evil cults that claim to be something they aren't. So often in these religious cults, the focus is on the leader and the leader uses his power to abuse women in the name of whatever religion enables them to do.

It is insidious and the Internet needs to be searched often to find the culprits before they start taking advantage of young women and girls.

People need to be smart enough to NOT let this kind of lying s.o.bitches lure them into their cult. A good reminder for all of us. Thank you, Sage!

So sad man's inhumanity to others. Always a sharp mind and pen, Sage.
