A group of 80 men,wemon and children who wouldnt surrender to the statute died

David Koresh was the American leader of the Davidians a religious sect, believing he to be its final prophet to some, to others another preacher. And the group lived at Mount Carmel Centre ranch in the community of Elk, Texas, 14 kilometer east of Waco.

The group spoke against laws that infringed on free will to all Man, and man was free to drink eat his own fruit at will without having to pay for the privilege or permission to do so. And some that disapproved of the group reported them of making alcohol on campus and growing cannabis, Also it was informed the group were heavily armed!.

Remembering it was legal to own a gun in Texas which was gun country. and the group were about God and not aggression the information about guns were I believe just careful information to have if an invasion took place to execute a search warrant in the dark of night!.

Either way the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) arrived in full force and were refused entry to their ranch; the group insisted it had no rights to enter the land and that no laws were broken. and a stand off began.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said they would arrest everyone and people may die if the group of men women and 20 children didn’t surrender to the statute.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms With its Armored Tanks was going to take the place to pieces with the help of the FBI One group claim they were doing nothing wrong in the eyes of God. And was letting no one in

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms had tanks!.The Standoff stood for 51 Days during which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms brought even bigger tougher tanks on site when David Koresh group leader said he had bullets that would Pearce the tanks lol.

David was on the radio to media giving updates as to how they were being treated and he wasn’t going to be bullied. At one stage the group were going to walk out peacefully but later decided no to as their was no give on the other side..

An attack was launched and men on both sides were shot. In the finish tanks were fired at the building and they demolished walls and fires broke out, 80+people were taped inside twenty of which were children and attempts to rescue them failed. The wooden buildings went up in a puff of smoke before fire services could arrive.

A particular controversy ensued over the origin of the fires!. A government investigation concluded in 2000 that sect members themselves had started the fires.

Locals and breakaway members said the group were not in any way a violent group and rebut the claims the fires were started by members and further claim a cover up by the . Some family members took court action against the FBI but failed.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms say mistakes were made and egos on both sides got carried away but claim no foul play on their part or on the part of the FBI that came later.

Eighty people died including men and women and 20 children.
