Does anyone know how the children who died in Waco were killed?

Question

They have FBI photos of the dead bodies of children with their bodies contorted because they died of Seren poisoning, a long horrible cruel death.

Answer 1

Although several of the surviving Branch Davidians insist that they did not start the fire, a panel of arson investigators concluded that the Davidians were responsible for igniting it, simultaneously, in at least three different areas of the compound. Unless they were deliberatley set, the probability of the three fires starting almost simultaneously was highly unlikely, according to fire experts. Furthermore, the videotapes show the use of accelerants that strongly increased the spread of the fire. Although one Branch Davidian stated that a FBI tank had tipped over a lantern, videotapes show that the tank had struck the building a minute and a half before the fire began. Also some of the surviving Davidians' clothing showed evidence of lighter fluid and other accelerants. In addition, FBI listening devices seemed to establish that the Davidians were overheard making statements such as, "Spread the fuel," some six hours before the fires began. (Joint Hearing of the Crime Subcommittee July 1995.)

The issue of whether David Koresh sexually and physically abused children in the compound is also not entirely resolved. Koresh acknowledged on a videotape sent out of the compound during the standoff that he had fathered more than 12 children by several "wives" who were as young as 12 or 13 when they became pregnant.

A review of Waco events published by the Justice Department in October 1993 concludes, "Evidence suggested that Koresh had 'wives' who were in their mid-teens, that Koresh told detailed and inappropriate sexual stories in front of the children during his Bible study sessions, and that Koresh taught the young girls that it was a privilege for them to become old enough (i.e., reach puberty) to have sex with him." (Report to the Deputy Attorney General on the Events at Waco, Texas February 28 to April 19, 1993.)

There is considerable evidence as well that Koresh harshly disciplined the children in the compound. According to affidavits obtained by the FBI from several former Branch Davidians and from Dr. Bruce Perry, a psychiatrist who examined several Branch Davidian children, Koresh beat young children with a wooden spoon or withheld food for as much as a day to punish them.

Answer 2

All the children at Waco were killed. That's what we call it whether the result of an accident or its intentional. Even if you die of disease, its the disease that killed you. Eventually, everyone is killed. The Waco tragedy was a long time ago and didn't have to happen. The government should have nabbed Koresh at a time when he wasn't at the compound. So, if anyone is at fault in the deaths of the children, its the government for their stupid handling of the situation.

Answer 3

I have not read about it for a long time. I read that during the first assault on the compound, one of the agents killed a 2 year old child, David Koresh's son.

The power and water was cut off, and I never did find out if the fires were set deliberately or of the flaming tear gas canisters set off the dry wood.

I have never heard about poison being used.

Answer 4

Actually they died from smoke inhalation. When the ATF/FBI set the compound on fire (The pictures were BBC of a armored ATF/FBI utilizing it's flamethrower unit) they were unable to free themselves and died from the lack of oxygen. There are stories out there that state he Branch Davidians set their own place on fire, but the journalistic, moving pictures I saw said something completely different. And no, I am not some Englishman from Westberry, I am an American in Alabama!

Answer 5

thats why the oklahoma federal construction develop into blown up, which killed yet another 19 childrens easily the fireplace develop into led to by employing a flamable type of tear gas the atf develop into pumping into the construction. each person who ran out of the construction, armed or not were shot, inclusive of children

Answer 6

The ATF and FBI shot in incendiary tear gas rounds that started a conflagration.

Answer 7

They died because their parents were nuts that were stockpiling weapons for god knows what purpose. And the adults in that group were hoping to make martyrs out of themselves, which seems to be what happened.

Answer 8

The compound of David Koresh was intentionally set on fire by the cult leader's disciples, killing everyone inside, including the children. I hope that would answer your question.

Answer 9

Yes. The ATF, FBI and SWAT trained in on them with their scopes and pulled their triggers just like all child murdering scumbags do.

Answer 10

Some of the brainwashed parents killed their own children.'
