Couple pertinent FACTS that bear repeating literally forever:
-
We should erect a memorial to the Weaver family
-
Rather than act like HUMANS and go & knock on Randy Weavers' door and have a CONVERSATION, the FBIATFetc. CHOSE to go & murder the family. There was ZERO reason for this raid at all, let alone anything remotely resembling a justifiable reason. Weaver was not uncooperative, combative, threatening; none of that. There was no remotely justifiable reason why the gov had to go for a full-bore tactical raid.
-
Weaver's wife (Vicky?) was in fact shot while holding their INFANT. I believe she may have been shot in the back. (I'm doing all this from memory)
-
As the OP states, ***[they] did also shoot Weaver's 14 year old boy in the back; ***I believe he got spooked because he saw a bunch of tactical mall ninjas prowling around the familys' property, got properly spooked & ran back to the house. He was in no way, shape, nor form being threatening / making any threaening actions towards anyone.
Apologies if any of this is not 100% accurate; as I said, I wanted to test my own memory & wrote this out before looking anything up. Below link seems to corroorate most of what I'm saying & is a good read from what I believe is a reliable source.

ETA:
Almost forgot; One of the snipers there who has become quite infamous - Lon Horiuchi with the FBI - he was (still is?) employed by Troy Industries for a while (again; if not still - IDK). I don't remember if he actually did kill anyone that day, but he played a big role as an FBI sniper.
So; fuck Troy Industries. (Firearm parts & accessories)
