Watch "Waco: Rules of Engagement"? Not at Blockbuster.

I went to my local (Omaha area) Blockbuster the other day and asked the lady in the front about the documentary "Waco: Rules of Engagement". I asked if they had it in yet as the movie schedule they keep in the front of the store indicated it would be in weeks ago. The movie schedule reflected this fact a month ago. She said, "it's funny you should ask because all of those were stolen". I then followed up, "what do you mean stolen"? She proceeded to tell me that all the copies of "Waco: Rules of Engagement" were stolen in all the area Blockbusters! All the area Blockbusters, she confirmed, were the five locations through Omaha and it's surrounding communities.

Now how does the same documentary (every copy, mind you) come up missing in every store in Omaha and every surrounding community around Omaha? She said this was the big buzz among employees a month ago as it is hard to shoplift tapes in these stores and they were wondering how the hell it was done. Perhaps the perpetrator(s) took the tape out of the box and shoved them in their coat since the box has an indicator set to go off if someone tries sneaks out with it...I don't know.

She then told me to look around at other rental places as there are still some left in town. She said she had to rent it from a different location (Couch Potato Rental) and it was a very good documentary worth seeking out.

Now I'm not much for conspiracy theories but I can't help but wonder if this wasn't a case of BATFags working on their own (or maybe a team) and making it a point to remove these tapes. We all know how they harrassed the writer (and his wife) of Unintended Consiquences. This obviously isn't a case of shoplifters trying to make off with a few movies. Could this be an attempt at suppression of the truth? I think so. Let's discuss.

How about a group of skin heads to cheap to go out and buy a few copies? They need it for their recruiting sessions?

While you have an interesting theory, why doesn't Blockbuster just buy another set for Omaha? I will have to go to my Blockbuster and ask for it. Once I do, I'll post the results. I live in Denver with a Blockbuster just down the street. And how did they get the tapes out? They could have just switched tapes and the 'rented' the wrong one. It happens. Not often, but it does happen.
 
The Blockbuster in my home town in Tennessee gave me a similar story except they said it had been rented and never returned (this was over a year ago). It was never replaced.

Just got back from my local (Denver,Co) Blockbuster. Don't have it in stock as a rental - never did. They don't know why they don't, they just don't. Oh well.
 
My local Blockbuster said they never had it in stock and checked the other locations with similar results.
Went to my local library. They had three copies and it didn't cost me anything to borrow one.
 
Went to my local library.
Exactly, DaveH-- that's where my copy ( as well as the NRA's "Banned!" ) went so others could view it. Did the same with every book I had on Little Big Fraud & his charming wife Hillarrhea!, too...
 
The whole situation is interesting considering "Waco: Rules of Engagement" was considered for an award for best documentary (or so I heard somewhere). Doesn't Crotchbuster want to carry at least one copy of a film that has been considered for an award? I know that everyone I've talked to that has seen it has commented highly of it (yes, including two Demoncrats I know). This is simply a case of marxist hollywood producers and others trying to keep this film out of as many hands as possible. Let's admit it guys, not many people go to the library...especially to check out movies.

This same Crotchbuster will have fifty copies of "Dude...Where's My Car" when it comes out on video. I guarantee it. This movie has to be the most stupid, worthless POS that has come out in a long time.

We're not going to win this guys. The marxists control all means of propaganda. The shooting in Mass. and other shootings that are bound to come up will certainly add more fuel to the anti-gun fire. Pretty soon enough sheeple will agree to a vote to strike the 2nd from the constitution and it will be all over.

The "wackos" like us will be systematically slaughtered by the likes of the FBI and BATFags because we will not give up.
 
I have rented Waco: Rules of Engagement at two seperate Blockbusters on two different dates in South FL. Never had a problem, to tell you the truth...
 
You guys may want to take your lament to Dan Gifford, producer of the film, at SomFord@worldnet.att.net . I don't know if he is aware of these anomalies and I believe that he and Blockbuster have an agreement on the stocking of this film.
 
Note to self....Rent "Dude.... Where's My Car"
Erase "Dude.... Where's My Car" and record "Waco, Rules of Engagement" on now blank "Dude... Where's My Car"
Return "Dude... Where's My Car" to local Blockbuster, repeat at next Blockbuster.
Inform TFL about the "Dude... Where's My Car" ploy.
Contact Warner Bros. regarding movie idea "Dude... Where's My CAR" A movie about a man who has had enough with the tripe currently called entertainment that we are being assaulted with :)
 
Let's admit it guys, not many people go to the library...especially to check out movies.

Joel, while you have a point, at least this way there's the potential for more to see it than if it stayed by my VCR. Maybe some of the Gen X & Y kids from school will check it out... maybe they'll watch "Banned" and start asking questions...

Think of it as guerrilla warfare against the media...
 
Organize!
Here's the on-line info page:http://www.blockbuster.com/mv/detail.jhtml?PRODID=186411&CATID=1820
Contact B-buster @: customer.service.blockbuster.com
If y'al want more information I'll call the main office here in the Dallas area and get someone at a high management level to respond.
One would think that:
a) offering the item, and
b) not maintaining the item availability
is poor customer service.
Secondly, the customer is (supposedly) always right.
Would concerned citizens constitute a "protected class"?
Unlikely. Does poor customer service warrant charges of violation of civil rights? Broadly, probably not.
But violation of first amendment rights by omission? Hmmm.
That WOULD be an intriguing possibility!
(There ARE laws for "failure to enforce". You have to dig and cajole the A.G.'s office for insight on this. What state would prosecute? It's been done, assuredly. Find a precedent and present it!)
Hey, NRA! How about some guidance?
