with all due respect to you crompsin, randy weaver may have been a total douchebag, but didn't do anything to deserve being shot at, much less being shot at first. The only illegal thing he did voluntarily was sell some shotguns that the government said were illegal. With regards to the Waco issue, agents KNEW that Koresh made several weekly trips in to town and could have arrested him at any time once outside the compound, then the rest of the compound would have most likely quietly surrendered. The ATF had to make a big show of a raid in order to prevent a budget cut.
The feds blew it, major league blown, and barely paid any price.
