re: What was the country’s reaction to the 1993 Waco siege when that was going on?

#2 The FBI knew the Branch Davidians had lots of high-powered weapons in the compound... what in the world did they think would happen when they showed up with 75 agents on raid day????

All that watching and you didn’t figure out the ATF and FBI were two different organizations.

But in the end, as the place was being pounded with CS gas and, smoke and flames, no one came out. THe Davidians were so strong in their beliefs .... and yes, many of them went into a place in the compound they thought was safe.... they could have come out.

Nine people left during the fire, including David Thibodeau who wrote a book. The women and children were in the bottom of the tower. The tanks focused on it dumping a frick ton of CS gas in there, in doing that they broke through the concrete killing some of them with the debris and they also pushed all kinds of debris into the entry point of the bunker area. The FBI made sure them leaving wasn’t a big possibility as none of that group survived.
