Government version Randy Weaver was not a white supremacist. He identified as a separatist.
This is obviosly the government/left wing media version of events.
Like Waco, there never were any automatic weapons produced by government agents. This was a red herring.
Weaver had been coerced by an undercover agent to saw off 2 shotgun barrels.
And like Waco, no attempt was made to simply walk up to the front door even though other people had done so.
Lon Horiuchi the sniper/assassin fired first setting everything in motion.
All of this came out at trial. It's sad that Gerry Spence, Weavers attorney, is not listed in the credits.
