When the authorities decided to raid Mt. Carmel, someone had already tipped Koresh about it. It was supposed to have been a surprise attack. They knew before they raided that Koresh already knew, but thought if they acted quickly enough, they could still pull it off. .
Officials now know how large of a collection of weapons of different sorts that David had acquired. He acquired these weapons at gun shows and parcel delivery companies.
There were many questions asked as to how the raid could have went so wrong, and killed so many. Bureau officials believe that no matter how they went about it, the end result would have been the same.

I have learned from this, that you can never underestimate a persons capability to do anything. It is hard to believe that one person could make so many people believe in something, like they are the actual God, just because they say it is true. .
I believe that if we continue to tell stories like these, to try and open people's eyes to make them realize that people like this are fakes.
We do not know if the killings at Waco could have been prevented. Before the raid even started, authorities already had many things against them. It is very easy for civilians to acquire many guns. We have law that states that we have the right to bear arms. .
They all believed that when the attack would come, it was Satan who sent the authorities to destroy their religious compound. They did not know how deeply disturbed David really was.
Without his cover of religion, it is believed that Koresh may have been reprehended earlier. Charges had been brought against Koresh earlier. Authorities tend to try to be more cautious when dealing with people perceived to be practicing religion.
The occult experts believe that if the FBI had contacted them for negotiations with Koresh, then no one would have died. The FBI knew that the compound had enough supplies to last for two years. They believe negotiations could have lasted that long, and they, then would have had to deal with starving, dying children.
