I am not an apologist for the actions at Waco or Ruby Ridge, both were abuses of government powers. However, it is clear that the people who stayed inside the Davidian Compound did so on their own free will and had every opportunity to leave.

I'm with you. It was a completely botched situation, from start to finish. Having said that, Koresh was a whack job, and the rest of the adults in the compound were not much better. I feel for those kids, and place much of the blame on the parents.
