There is no doubt that the man was deluded but I've seen little evidence that
makes him a pedophile. All I have heard on the matter is conjecture, nothing
more. Same goes for the gun dealing some have alleged. Now as to why he
should have just complied with the Fed's, one must ask oneself if he ever had
the chance. It has been noted that the Fed's could have picked him up many
times and charged him with God knows what, outside the compound and NO DOUBT
the rest would have capitulated without a fight (with no leader). Why didn't
the government do that? Maybe it is because they WANTED a bloody showdown,
knowing (or suspecting) that Koresh was unstable and could do anything. The
next point is that the Davidians were tipped to the Fed's approach by a law
officer I think. This was probably done by the Fed's themselves to instigate
fear. Now what do you suppose that man said to the people at the "compound"?
Probably something like; "Dave, they got a WHOLE SHITLOAD of weapons and
agents AND THEY MEAN SOME SERIOUS BUSINESS. They are ready to CRUSH you."
Now having heard that is it possible that Koresh, quite rightly, feared for
his life and those of the other members of the "cult," because with so much
firepower they could only mean to storm the place and kill them. That could
be why he chose to fight, until the media came and had an eye on it. But
hey! Guess what? The media was kept miles away so that nothing done could
be observed, and the Fed's could do as they please.
Mind you I'm not defending Koresh or his twisted beliefs (though he had a
right to have them), and especially not endorsing his behavior IF there was
any pedophilia going on. This is more along the lines of excoriating the
FASCIST THUGS in the Federal Law Enforcement Agencies.
