Unraveling the Enigma: David Koresh and The Branch Davidians – Part Three: Operation Showtime.
Delving deep into the twisted world of cult leader David Koresh and his followers, the Branch Davidians. In this installment of our investigation, we uncover the chilling details of Operation Showtime, where federal agents attempted to raid the compound in Waco, Texas, leading to a tragic standoff and the deaths of many cult members. Koresh’s charisma and manipulation tactics played a key role in the deadly outcome, shedding light on the dangers of extremist beliefs and group mentality in criminal investigations.
@StephanieHarlowe
So Robert Rodriguez and Robert Gonzalez are the same person 😂 One is his real name and one was a name he gave Koresh. I guess I just used both of them 🤦🏻♀️

When the ATF does any of this I think of the "bad boys" song.
@michhaynes7272
I have no doubt that this twisted pedophile needed arresting! But don't you think it might be better to send in competent agents from an organisation that doesn't slaughter innocent dogs, who are the pets of these poor kids in this place. Seriously, with all the resources these agencies have, they couldn't get one tiny bit of this operation done well!
That being said, David ran back into these women and children (not that this pedophile see the difference between the two) had he wanted to protect them before himself he wouldn't have done that and no one else would have died!

Hi 🎉
@YorkshireRose86
It doesn’t matter if I’m watching a video from 3 years or 3 days ago, your professionalism, accuracy and depth of knowledge is unmatched. I am so glad I found you and Derrick ❤
@cassandramonabishop3764
This was a gross overstep of federal government on innocent people
@hi_its_dawn
Euchre!????!!! Yes girl!!
@errrkt
they thought they were badasses and tried to special force a commune for one guy. they acted like armed 6th graders trying to get in and clear the building like it was a house in Fallujah.
@NancyRoleReversal
Wtf why did they kill the dogs 🤬
@kelliv2995
His worst offense?
The mullet. That was just unacceptable.

I just found this series and I want to say that you have put together the most comprehensive, unbiased account of this story. As a Waco junkie I have absorbed anything I could find on this subject. Credit to your research and oratory skills. I couldn't find much to refute what you have said so far. I'm going to refer your series to anyone who wants an unbiased account without reading or watching 20+ documentaries. once again more credit to your organizational skills to tell a comprehensive story, while interjecting your own opinions, and not making it feel like a bore. Couple of things I want to acknowledge you for, the fact that the BATF was, at the time, an extension of the Treasury dept. and IRS instead of the justice dept. Which means that their investigative powers were for instances where there was reason to believe that there was no taxes being paid or the right paperwork was filed on the weapons in question. If any of the above was done then the weapons and/or modifications to such to make them automatic machine guns would be legal. Also I wonder if you got accounts confused. Judy Schneider was shot holding her baby while Koresh said initially that a child of his was killed but he wasn't holding it. Instead it was miscommunication at the time and later on admitted to the FBI that he got erroneous information. Anyways great job, going to listen to pt 4 now and will leave my observations. Once again congratulations.

They could've avoided a lot of carnage. 🙁
@captntread8472
I know you don't want to be on David's side because hes a bad guy but you can see what kind of mood the ATF was in when they just showed up and started killing the dogs. That seems insane. When people have the right to be violent they will be. They're like football players that have been training their whole life and now they're finally at the game. They wanted to play soldiers just like little kids. As a male who understands how dumb my sex is, I promise you that atf started and wanted that fight.
@kayskaht2052
Stephanie I have watched the first two parts of this series you’ve done, it is absolutely FANTASTIC the work you’ve done. I learned so much about history I didn’t previously know! Plz keep up the amazing work! ❤
@LoraSikes
Are you on Adderall? Slow the heck down! Had to slow the speed to catch all the details!
@Camey71073
I love in Norman, Oklahoma. About 17 miles from the Murrah Building Site. We will never forget.
@Camey71073
We love your videos. We don't care how long they are…lol
@lucysnowe31

@terridemaio2926
I'm Excited stephanie
@terridemaio2926
Really Love thease cult cases
@traceymcdonald7949
The ATF led the absolute worst "undercover" Op ever! I feel like any of us watching would have thought this out better.
4 men, the expensive clothes, new cars, no remodeling of the house, no backstop of their identities, the cars were registered to the ATF…. Who TF trained them to create an undercover persona and back it all up? The IRS accountants?
@ratatataraxia
I keep hearing M.J. “Allegedly! Allegedly!”
@chantellamollinet9039
LOVE this series.
@little_mswriter9942
I shouldn’t be surprised the ATF did such a horrible job, but the fact that I feel sorry for the people in the compound, minus David (who could have handed himself in and possibly avoided this senseless standoff) is a whole new level for me
@kluafoz
It's always wonderful to sit back and imagine if citizens acted the way the government and their agencies and agents did the amount of shit we'd be in.

@clpearson991
Nobody did anything right. Awful.
@vegan_guac
So these scumbags were just trigger happy, first they executed that other family and their pup and now they came in guns blazing-definitely wanting blood shed- and murdered all the dogs there (after continued onto people obvi). For what? What's that got to do with the warrant that they had for one and one person only?? Nah, they wanted this to be a massacre. That's why they purposely weren't discreet. If there was a resistance from inside they then had a reason to open fire.
