David Koresh
David Koresh was the leader of the Branch Davidians, a religious sect that became widely known after the 1993 Waco siege in Texas, which ended in a tragic fire that killed 76 people, including Koresh. He claimed to be a prophet and had a significant following, but his apocalyptic teachings and the group's militarization led to a standoff with federal agents, raising questions about religious freedom, government intervention, and the complexities of cult dynamics.
