Per BATF testimony, they planned to conduct their no-knock concussion-grenade-led raid whether or not they met any resistance whatsoever. I have seen no evidence whatsoever that any Davidian fired a single shot or even picked up a weapon prior to the initiation of the BATF's attack.

While I support the FBI, the way the Clinton Justice Dept. handled Waco was nothing short of criminal. Nothing justifies the slaughter of innocent women and children.
