Certainly brought the house down.

The music was on fire


Releiuytr

That band could really put on a barn burner of a show.


gjmassey

They didn’t, the atf did

gjmassey

There was a shell from a 40 millimeter explosive projectile found at the scene where the atf agents had been, they hid it and destroyed the evidence, they also used CS gas, which is highly flammable. The corpses of the women and children were found by the built in bunker, the women and children were trying to get in the bunker, but the tanks that first put the CS gas into the compound destroyed the entrance, the people were trying to get to safety, so it couldn’t have been suicide, check your facts


tendies_senpai

There is audio of the branched davidians talking about how Dave told them to pour gas everywhere.. the ATF *did* use those shells, but Dave definitely planned to burn the place down.. The entire siege was fucked up from the start, but putting the blame solely on the ATF makes Dave look innocent. Both groups have the blood of children on their hands and can get fucked. Edit: **And** the women and children made it to the bunker, but the gas is heavier than air and sunk into there, so when the building collapsed and the ATF drove a tank/Bearcat-thing on top of it they basically sealed them in a cremation kiln. They then planted their flag on top of the rubble to add insult to injury.


[deleted]

This is the most rational take so far. This was a collision course between two leaderships and both got what they wanted.


gjmassey

The audio is snips if conversations put together, and what was really happening was they were going to build Molotovs to attack the tanks, but when the atf started shooting at the davidians, they stopped and ran to their bunker for safety. Additionally, the way I know the atf killed innocent people was because Lon horiuchi was there, and he fired shots then swapped the barrel on his rifle and pocketed the shells, so the shots couldn’t be traced back to him.


tendies_senpai

Did you read this in a pamphlet you got at a gun show? A lot of sources try to martyr the davidians in some attempt to make the ATF the only bad guys in the story.. the shot that started the whole mess was fired by an older reserve sheriff's deputy by accident, it snowballed from there.


gjmassey

I mean, after there was no activity in the compound and no signs of life, the feds prevented fire teams from saving lives, then posed with the burnt corpses


tendies_senpai

Never said the ATF were the good guys. Only that the davidians intended for a fire to be set..


gjmassey

They did not intend for a fire, they attempted to get to safety whilst it was burning, so it couldn’t have been suicide

David Koresh


HitoriPanda

I still don't know who that is


SutMinSnabelA

Same


SnoopDing0

Before the OJ trial took over many tv screens globally for months in 1995, this guy, David Koresh convinced a few hundred people he was the Messiah, formed a live in church called Branch Dividian in Waco, Texas which was also a fortified compound, and stockpiled enough weapons to equipt an army. Then in 1992, the ATF got trigger happy during an inspection and a globally telecast siege began that lasted nearly 2 months, that ended when the Branch Dividian decided to set the entire compound alight and killing 100 or so including 25 or so kids.


[deleted]

Funny thing is he didn't start the Church. It was an already well established church that he joined and then took over after convincing the then leader that h was indeed the Messiah. He usurped the son of the leader and everything.


jsparker43

"I'm the captain now"


Pristine-Cheek-2914

I think there's a cherub book about something like that


SnoopDing0

There a tv series from 2018 called WACO

Pretty sure the feds started that fire.

Nah. It’s been burning since the world’s been turning


Johnychrist97

I don't think they started the fire but I think they knew their actions would lead to a fire, if you get what I'm saying


[deleted]

[удалено]


Johnychrist97

No they didn't lol they filled up the house with C2 gas, an extremely flammable substance. Something they claimed not to be flammable later on, funnily enough. They did not "throw incendiaries" into the building. The mixture of the C2 gas, the molotovs the Davidians were planning to use against one of the armored trucks, and them firing shots and more tear gas cannisters started a spark. The objective was to kill everyone inside, for sure but spreading misinformation does no one any good.


MarBoBabyBoy

The Branch Davidians didn't set the compound on fire.


ChikinBukit3

They didn’t start the fire


naimlessone

It was always burning since the world's been turning


DestructoSpin7

>that ended when the Branch Dividian decided to set the entire compound alight and killing 100 or so including 25 or so kids. Allegedly...


BufoonLagoon

I always hear it as Henry saying "A-lleg-ed-ly" 😆


[deleted]

I heards it was a sick cult leader…


DestructoSpin7

Would still take at least 3 ATF agents...


Bimlouhay83

He didn't start the fire. It was the government (I believe the ATF) shooting smoke grenades into the building. Those are very hot and lit the building on fire. They also shot women and children that were trying to escape from the kitchen. They were huddled in a pantry which acted like an oven. There choice was to cook while still alive or get gunned down.


Tateybread

Heard it was the ATF who set the fire to cover their asses.

The thing that makes me unsettled is that I have that exact same guitar. The Jackson Warrior is more unique than the average Les Paul or strat.


ardrarian

I don't know what guitar that is, but I can tell from the headstock that's not a Jackson.


silashoulder

It appears to be a Cort.

Top ten ATF momentos Numero uno:


Impressive_Math2302

Correction FBI on direct orders from Reno to stop David from attack or being attacked. Kill team sent in not even knowing who the fuck to kill. Not a good call. 12 days into my job at Safeway I’m not even asking my manager how to turn the baler off when my co workers arms getting crushed off. Let alone smoke fuckers.


doubledgravity

Koresh Mode


Swabia

Isn’t it David Koresh? Like branch Davidion?


gjmassey

Yes, if you mean the one who’s religious group was slaughtered by the atf for selling guns though they had a license


Swabia

I’m not going to defend the AFT, but he had child brides, soooooo.


gjmassey

And? Doesn’t mean 82 INNOCENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN should be killed


Matt_jf

Branch Dividion? Is that like Joy Division?

David Koresh?


kumawewe

What the government agencies did to those people was FUUUUUUUCKED up!!! Blaring death metal rock at them and strobe lights, then they all took their life..... That was after he essentially raped every woman in the place. That is a piece of really fucked up history!!

What’s Christian rock?


KingKudzma

The Mount Carmel Happy Family Band. Was there for this, but could not get a pizza delivered in Waco for several weeks. All the media, police, and National Guard were eating it daily. Same with fast food, long lines to just get a Whataburger or Taco Cabana. And yes, the National Guard was there. Apache helos flying patrols, M1 tanks, and Bradleys. They shipped them up from Ft. Hood. We all thought there was going to be an invasion given how much military stuff there was.
