The Waco, Texas Massacre
On April 19th 1993,A.T.F Agents stormed the outside of a massive compound known as the mount carmel center. The center was home to a small religious community run by David Koresh. 74 men women and children were killed in the fire fight that occured when the atf stormed in. All weapons that the Branch Davidians owned were legal. In footage showing the attack, allied personel vehicles shot rounds into the building, with no regard to the children, the building was set a-blaze by a tank that was specificly made to torch the building. The entire massacre was based on showing authority. (A common favorite for our government). The siege of this compound lasted 51 days, with the army taken over, it was quickly ended. In some footage, as the children and citizens tryed to escape, they were shot, and run over by the vehicles of the armed forces. Some of the kids in the compond were shot by the military, and a few of the people from the compound were executed. In some footage that you can see from websites like you-tube, you can see that when four A.T.F Agents were on the roof, they broke in through a window. Three of the agents went in through the window, and a few seconds later the fourth atf agent who was outside the window fired into the room that the other three were in. After the first day of fighting ended, the branch davidians gave the three atf agents bodies back to the force. And the bodies were riddled with the ammunition that was used by the agent outside th window. This would come to become known as the waco massacre
