Day 15 of the Waco Standoff

March 14, 1993
Since the previous evening, the FBI had decided not to call into the compound. Instead, the negotiators decided to await a call from the inside. Nevertheless, at'12:34 p.m., Oliver Gyarfas was allowed to call into the compound to tell Koresh and others that he was being treated fairly by authorities. At 1:03 p.m., Kathy Schroeder called into the compound with a similar message. Both Koresh and Schneider expressed anger at her for not being a "spokesperson" for them.
The last conversation with Schneider ended at 4:19 p.m. The negotiators, according to plan, did not call the compound for the remainder of the evening, nor did anyone inside call out,
At nightfall, the FBI began to illuminate the compound with bright lights to disrupt sleep, to put additional pressure on those inside, and to increase the safety of the HRT.

(The Myth: The FBI didn’t allow the Davidians to preach their message because they are biased against Christians.)

[The Truth: Limiting the communications of hostage-takers is a standard tactic in law enforcement. Besides, why should a pedophile, liar and murderer be allowed to talk to anybody they want? This was an example of the FBI doing the right thing; surrounding the compound but not assaulting it or letting them talk to anyone but them. Been two weeks now.]
