Weaver was a paranoid loony bin, but the entire situation was an entrapment case that was horribly botched. They came up to scout the property, killed the family dog, shot and killed his teenage son in the back while he was retreating, shot and killed his unarmed wife who was holding a baby in her own home. A half year later WACO happened. Fuck the ATF.
