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.
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."
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?
Then neither should you.
If you have some friend who bugs you until you 'roll back' the odometer on a car he's trying to sell and he turns out to be an FBI agent, and he wants to roll you for information because he heard you knew someone who might be smuggling cars, then you should expect to find the U.S. Army surrounding your house, shooting anything that moves.
They would have already shot your dogs, if you had any. They also would start firing at you when you opened the door to accept the warrant (which they would get later), but what the hey, you did break the law, correct?
