Wow, where do you come up with these lies? Kevin Harris, not Weaver's kid, shot and killed Deputy US Marshal Degan, not an ATF agent.Sorry about the thread drift, but Randy Weaver's kid shot the ATF agent after the ATF agent shot his dog.
Randy Weaver went to court but the ATF didn,t show(the first time).
The ATF never came up with the SBS that started the whole thing and Randy Weaver was found innocent and provided with a monetary settlement.
Utah filed charges against Horiuchi, but the Feds pressured them to drop them.
That resulted when after more than a year of trying to negotiate with Weaver to show up in court, and Weaver refusing, and Weaver and his wife making threats to several people, the US Marshals Service did a recon of his property trying to figure out how to arrest him for failing to appear in court.
The deaths at Ruby Ridge could have easily been avoided if Weaver had come to court to participate in his Constitutionally guaranteed due process rights.
It should also be noted that during the initial arrest of Weaver by ATF resulted in NO injuries despite Weaver pulling a gun on the agents, and his wife trying to get to another gun in their truck. Weaver was released pending trial, and then started issuing threats and refusing to come to court.
Further, when it did go to trial ATF produced both shotguns as evidence and the barrels 5 inches shorter than the legal length. Further, Weaver was not "found innocent" he merely raised the requisite reasonable doubt about whether or not he was entrapped.
Also, Utah didn't file charges against Horiuchi, Idaho did, because the incident happened in Idaho. Further, Idaho did not drop the charges, the case was removed to federal court, and Horiuchi beat the case in federal court.
If you're going to whine about ATF try doing it without lying.
