Pd.. C'mon..
The Weaver case was an example of Federal agencies out of control...
Yes, Weaver's son fired on them... after they fired on the family dog, from cover of bushes...
Weaver and his other son were brought up on felony murder charges (among others) and ACQUITTED of all of them... Weaver was convicted on charges having to do with court appearances and violation of bail provisions...
Weaver's case was very akin to the COINTELPRO type thinking of the late sixties and early seventies... The feds at the time of the Weaver case were going after all the White supremasist groups... Aryan Nations, Covenant Sword and Arm, all of them... They were busting up the militia groups whenever possible and infiltrating whenever possible...
and No, Reno had nothing to do with it
