Because they didn't know what would happen if they took Koresh.I knew the guy who was shot on the roof.
The thing that always struck me as strange...there was a long investigation on Koresh and they knew his every move.
That being said they also knew Koresh was a frequent customer at the local hardware store so why didnt they arrest him there?
Why endanger all those women and children with a raid? Yeah Koresh and his followers were nuts but his followers were indoctrinated and didnt deserve to die.
Same shit with Ruby Ridge.
That would not necessarily lead to his nuthouse followers to give them selves up.
In fact, if you are informed on the story, you would know it would have likely resulted in no different outcome than what happened.
Koresh convinced his brainwashed followers that HE and only HE is their path to heaven. NOT doing what he said is a guarantied pathway to hell. They believed that with all their being.
Taking out their leader could have been equally disastrous.
