“Why did so many people elect not to leave the building?”
I dunno, perhaps because they couldn’t. Perhaps because they were afraid of being shot. Perhaps because they were scared.
The entire incident started when a UPS driver dropped a box he was delivering to the site. A fake grenade rolled out of the torn box. The driver thought it was real and reported it. The Davidians made most of their money legally selling firearms at gunshows. Fake paperweights grenades were one of the items.
The weapons charges the BATF accused them of were completely false as they were licensed to sell the weapons they possessed.
“Why is it that none of the agents who were involved have come forward to say that their commander gave them orders to shoot?”
The Justice Department came out and said the agents were above the law.
“The agent in question would be granted immunity and treated as a hero..”
They were. However I don’t see your worship of these people to be warranted. They handled an incident with complete incompetence bringing discredit to their agency and to the entire United States Government. Oh and their actions also resulted in the deaths of some 80 men, women and children.
The agent(s) in question should be staked down and burned alive.
Why did they destroy evidence after the fire?
You may be wasting your time, FRiend.
There are folks who believe everything they see on the six o’clock news.
There are folks who will chase after every conspiracy theory that comes along.
And there are folks who are afraid to face anything that upsets their view of the world. No amount of reasoning will sway them.
