Former President Donald Trump plans to hold his first campaign rally Saturday in Waco as the city marks the 30th anniversary of the federal raid of the Branch Davidian compound that left dozens dead.
A Trump presidential campaign spokesman said they chose Waco due to its central location, not for any larger symbolic meaning."This is the ideal location to have as many supporters from across the state and in neighboring states attend this historic rally," said Steven Cheung, a campaign spokesman."It also happens to be the home to the Baylor Bears, one of the most prestigious higher education institutions in America.
Koresh eventually began speaking with FBI negotiators over the phone, threatening violence but claiming he and his followers were not suicidal. He eventually released two dozen people, mostly children, in exchange for food and supplies. But the standoff continued, with law enforcement playing thundering music and bathing the compound with bright light to wear out the Branch Davidians.
