No one knows for sure that this happened. They only have the medias word about that. They were totally wrong about Ruby Ridge and Elian Gonzalas. I'd say they were wrong about Koresh, too.
And why is that? The feds secured a search warrant and were trying to serve that search warrant for eight weeks before the "raid" happened.

Maybe you only have "the media's word about that", but I have my own common sense, my professional understand of US law, and the service of valid search warrants. If the government - state or local - shows up at you door with a search warrant and you repel them, you can't bet some violence is going to happen. Why should David Koresh be any different?
This was an 'unfounded assertion' made by JANET RENO, (who knows all about the subject of institutionally molesting young girls and keeping women against their will, down in Florida), in order to justify the need to RAID the compound, instead of backing off and letting Koresh come out.
