Hey, I'm supposed to be the liberal here, okay? We're the cop-haters who want to bring down authority and coddle all the criminals. Why the hell you making me defend the FBI and the ATF? Don't you realize they could pull my ACLU card for that?
I think Ruby Ridge was a case of Federal Agencies out of their league and ill prepared for the task - but not at all out of control. I think the death of Weaver's wife was tragic. I think the death of Weaver's son was Weaver's fault and no one else's. (I suggest that you shoot at a cop if one shoots your dog in the line of duty some day and see what happens. What the fuck kind of justification is that?)
As far as the FBI's efforts against the bottom feeders you mentioned, I'm all for it. My own personal opinion is that right wing militia groups would make a great training target for National Guard units to ensure combat readiness. Those folks are terrorists, regardless of the rhetoric they spew. Needless to say, I think comparing it to COINTELPRO is a joke at best.
As far as the acquittal goes, whoppty-fucking-doo - they ACQUITTED O.J. Simpson, too.
