he stopped on the way out there because he was tipped off.
They don't know who, maybe a sheriff's deputy or somebody tipped him off that this is going to be going down.
So he couldn't find the compound.
And he stops a mail truck, a friendly mail carrier.
It's like, hey, where's this Branch Davidian compound?
I think there's a raid going on and I want to cover it.
And that mail carrier was a Branch Davidian.
So he hightailed it back there and was like, we're about to get raided, you guys.
So on February 28th, there were 76 armed agents that came up from Fort Hood.
They were obfuscated in cattle trucks.
They had canvas thrown over the back of these trucks, hiding.
