They shot him after he went out unarmed to talk to the agents, they shot one of his friends through the door, and then shot one of his wives who was nursing a baby through a window. Would you have come out? The psychological torture they were literally blasting into the compound probably didn’t help either
The Netflix show also does a good job of laying out the scenario that would likely get all of the kids talen away
Mom is polygamist = mom is unfit = take kids away

quote:I think it portrays the Davidians in a favorable light, something that has not been done before. In my opinion, that is probably accurate. Honest, relatively docile people who want to follow their own beliefs and be left alone. I was taken aback by how sympathetic they were to David Koresh. No matter how sincere his beliefs may have been, in the end they led to horrible abuses and contributed to the death of his followers.
Is it relatively accurate or is it biased?

quote:The ATF and later the FBI played right into the theological beliefs of David Koresh. He sincerely (wrongly) believed in an apocalyptic showdown with the forces of evil. And they gave him one. To surrender in the face of it would have gone against everything he had taught his believers for years and what had led them to that compound in Waco. And yet it appears that he was on the verge of doing just that when he completed his "Seven Seals" manuscript.
They come out they all live.
Just come out.
Koresh didn't and his flock suffered.
Go to court unless you are afraid of the legitimate charges. They should have come out.
We will never know though.

CSPAN - A Place Called Waco with David Thibodeau
“The arts of power and its minions are the same in all countries and in all ages. It marks its victim; denounces it; and excites the public odium and the public hatred, to conceal its own abuses and encroachments.” Senator Henry Clay
