Hey, we already KNOW the truth. It was on TV and everything.
You know, those evil Davidian Koreshians were trying to destroy the world, and were just about to kill us all when the ATF pulled in and stopped them. Turns out they had several meth labs, millions of heavy machineguns, a cocaine plantation, and at least fifty nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles in their basement. It's all in the affidavits the feds filed for their arrest warrant.
Then, after millions of unarmed, peace-loving ATF agents were brutally slaughtered by the ruthless Koreshians, the ATF -- which is terribly underfunded, you know -- called in the FBI. The feds tried everything possible to get the Koreshians to surrender, including shining lights on their evil military-style compound so they could find their way out in the dark, and playing soothing music to calm those hopped-up murdering freaks down.
Some of the Koreshians tried to escape, but their leader, the evil Dr. Davidian, was very clever. He had snipers stationed outside that were dressed as FBI agents, with picture IDs and everything. When some of the Koreshians would try to sneak out, his phony FBI snipers would shoot at them and make them go back in. That's how the evil Dr. Davidian kept the Koreshians from getting away.
Weeks later, and just when it seemed like the Koreshians were going to surrender, it turned out that they had secretly been working on "Plan B" to destroy the world. Stopping at nothing to achieve their evil goal, the Koreshians ran around setting fire to their children in an attempt to send them out and ignite the FBI/ATF's ammunition, but the plan backfired, and the flaming children caught the building on fire instead, killing all of the evil Koreshians and returning justice and safety unto to land.
I know this is true because I saw it all on TV. And besides, the government says so.
