The investigation determined (something like this) that the raid team leader and others tried to breach the front door, only got it open a few inches because of barricades, etc, and during that moment, Koresh and others opened up on them. Fire was returned as the agents retreated. I think two agents were killed, one at the front door, and the other on the roof. The report surmised that the shooting at the front door set the roof events in motion.
Kind of odd, isn't it, that surviving photos and the testimony of the surviving outside witnesses all indicate that the bullet holes on the metal door all went INWARD, not OUTWARD?
Of course, we'll never be sure, because somewhere between Waco and Washington, the feds "lost" the front door. Yes, they "lost it." A steel door, a key piece of evidence, photographed being taken from the ashes. The feds "lost" it.
You make me laugh. You're pathetic.
So if you don't like seeing your precious JBTs being called BATFAGs, tough.
You better keep a close eye on your dog now! And for goodness sakes hide the kittens.
Must have been that newfangled Automatic Doorknocker that all the SWAT teams got now. I think some people are born to be sheep, its kinda a masochistic thing.
What is odd is how so few people saw the video of the initial "raid" before it was edited. I saw it @ 6:00 am. I clearly saw Koresh come out of the door way and say "there are women and children in here".
The dogs could be heard in the back ground being shot and then all hell broke loose. FROM THE CATTLE CARS the first shots were fired!
If anyone has that unedited video it should be posted on threads like this.
FReegards and I loved the book :)
