Why Didn't So Many Devidians Come Out of the Building?

Some have wondered if this can be found in the fact that so few devidians came out of the building. An argument for inserting tear gas and letting it slowly do its work could perhaps be made. But smashing holes in the compound constituted a dramatic excalation from the approved plan. And just what nosner saw in television, think about what was happening inside the commune. They were being tiar gased, and had received three days worth of tiar gas in just a few hours.
