Fully Automatic David Koresh
1,189 wordsIt started out easy enough. Over a hundred agents from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms would pack themselves shoulder-to-shoulder inside cattle trailers, and pull up to the front of the building in broad daylight.

Branch Davidians Chemical Warfare
1,137 wordsNeither the Branch Davidians, nor the ATF, nor the FBI, were composed of or led by stupid persons. Yet at Waco, all of these groups made extremely bad decisions. One reason for the high-risk, low-quality decisions of the Branch Davidians, ATF, and FBI is that these groups of intelligent individuals could collectively make decisions much worse than the individuals might have made if they had decided alone. Many of the factors leading to groupthink were present, on all sides, at Waco. First, in gr...

Religious Beliefs Mind Control
1,289 wordsCults are commonly defined as a group or organization (sometimes religious) that has independent beliefs and is usually isolated from the normal society. In some ways, cults tend to form their own structured society with a messianic leader guiding the group.

To some, these effects are positive, but to others, they are devastati...

Women And Children David Koresh
1,443 wordsNovember 28, 1999 I was one of only nine survivors of the Waco blaze -- 74 men, women and children died -- and I've devoted the last six years to understanding what happened there. Back in 1990 I had been drumming in a stagnant Los Angeles rock band when I met and befriended David Koresh. I needed some new drumsticks, and on the way to a gig stopped in at the Guitars R Us on Sunset Boulevard.

These 6000 members lived in sister cities of Hildale and Colorado City in the barren US state of Utah. The cult in which control is the key is now considered by many to be closer to a terrorist organisation.

Branch Davidians David Koresh
552 wordsThe standoff between the combined forces of the FBI and ATF and David Koresh-Branch Davidians was viewed as the worse governmental operation in history. There were several reasons why Waco turned out the way it did. Koresh and 76 of his followers, including more than 20 children, died in flames because there were breakdowns in communication between FBI and the Branch Davidians as the event unfolds. First, there was a lack of competency in communication during the negotiation period between the F...
