Absolutely, they could have and should have. Obviously my post must have been worded very badly because you completely missed my point.
You are probably right that Koresh was a bad actor,But that was never really investigated enough, either,IMHO. People were there with their children voluntarily. If the abuse was as bad as was accused, I can’t see that many people staying there.I live not too far south of Waco, and I never knew the place existed until the attack on them began.
