That's not what the report says at all. The report says that CS was dispersed over a large area in a building that was well ventilated, poorly constructed, and that most of the CS gas never affected the people inside.
The people inside didn't die from CS gas, they died from head wounds, gun shot wounds, being stabbed, or from a fire they themselves set.

The name of the thread is "Why didn't other countries get pissed when we used gas on civilians?". You are implying that the US gasses it's citizens, comparing Waco - a police action during a standoff in which police officers were shot and killed - to a military action that randomly targeted civilians.

That is not true at all. The report says they were able to leave at any time, and the only thing preventing them from leaving was the fire. The fire they had set themselves.
