In 1985, the FBI approached Randy Weaver, a former Special Forces soldier in Viet Nam, and asked him to become an informant for the federal government. ... ) Weaver refused. ...
In August, of 1992, an eleven day siege of the Weaver home in North Idaho began. A federal agent charged that Weaver had a shotgun with the barrel 1/4" too short. Weaver said it was a frame up for refusing to pimp for the government. Over 500 Federal personnel (federal marshals, FBI and ATF agents, US Army soldiers, some of whom had just returned from the killing fields in Iraq) surrounded the Weaver home; and above in the sky flew US Air Force planes and personnel. ... Their job was to kill Weaver. Weaver had vowed not to surrender to the Federals on the phony charges brought as punishment for refusing them.
The siege ended August 31, with the surrender of Weaver, but not before the red-White-and-Blue star-spangled-taxpayer-paid snipers, had shot Weavers 14-year old son Samuel in the back, killing him, and blew Weavers wifes head apart as she stood at the front door of the cabin, as she was holding their ten-month-old baby girl in her arms.
