I don’t recall seeing one person on this forum express approval of or defend David Koresh’s lifestyle.

What was the impetus for the military assault on the Koresh’s farmhouse? Do you know?

The BATF tried to claim Koresh was illegally selling weapons. The fact is, they never substantiated that claim. Koresh legally sold weapons with a person at the farm who was a registered permitted gun dealer. That was a bogus claim.

The ATF/FBI then tried to claim that they were there to rescue the young girl who was being abused. The problem was, the local Social Worker who was the only person who had researched those charges prior to the assault on the farm said she found no proof that Koresh was having sex with ANY minors on the farm. This means, she took no action against Koresh to validate a military assault on the farm.

This left the ATF without any valid reason for the military assault on the farm.

The ATF tried to sell the idea they were there to save the young girls, but they fired into the farmhouse at will, not knowing where the girls were. They showed no concern for the mortality of the girl’s whatsoever.

If you’re truly concerned for the children, do you fire into the building hundreds of times?

David Koresh was a runner. He ran frequently, either daily or at least three times per week. When he ran, he ran right past an ATF spying location. He was unarmed and could have been arrested without incident any time they wanted.

Koresh knew the local sheriff, and had at least some relations with him. The sheriff considered him a reasoned man and not a problem for or threat to the community. He was not consulted or informed prior to the military assault of the farm house. He was shocked by the ATF actions at the Koresh farm.

It was his opinion he could have phoned Koresh and asked him to drop by his office without incident.

I and a lot of others think Koresh was a wing nut. I must have missed where wing nut has been codified to be a crime so devious that the wing nut and all his associated would be given the death penalty for it. Those people were burned to death on purpose.

When the ATF first assaulted the farm house, it is very likely they fired the first shots killing dogs. There has also been a charge that they fired first through the front door. These charges could never be verified or refuted.

The farm house was raised to the ground destroying any evidence of government impropriety. The ground where government snipers appear to have fired into the building during the fire, and other areas were scraped clean as part of the sanitizing of the property post op.

This was a cluster “screw-up” from the word go.

I don’t have to agree with a man’s lifestyle or actions to defend him and around ninety others from being subjected to what those people were subjected to.

There was absolutely no justification for any of it.
