First, it was not a compound.
Nothing like parroting the .gov line.

It's a compound (?hinting at something nefarious?), not a church, or a home. You must reinforce that impression by using it in all related write-ups.

What's in a word?
Compound...Etymology: by folk etymology from Malay kampung group of buildings, village
Date: 1679
: a fenced or walled-in area containing a group of buildings and especially residences
Technically, it was a compound, but the intent? The word "residence" sure doesn't come up in the .gov line.
"Feds Raid Waco Residences"? Nope.

Yepper, and then all the propaganda floated and dedicated to demonizing Koresh and his church members...ie child molesting and then there was the meth lab that never was. "If we can convince the sheeple these Davidians are evil people, then maybe, just maybe, we can justify our atrocities to walk free from our crimes. "

Well it worked. Course they had to do much more than that. They also had to get rid of the evidence which they did post haste.
