Ron,

In the case of Randy Weaver, here you had a guy WITH NO CRIMINAL RECORD who was accosted by federal agents who lied to him about the legal length allowed for sawed off shotguns and when he cut a few for the entrapping agents, they blackmailed him with threats to imprison him and harrass his family if he didn't spy on other US citizens.

This dispicable behavior by our government didn't end there as Federal agents opened fire on his son, killing the boy, then sniped his wife through a front door window who was holding a child in her arms at the time. US courts ruled in favor of Weaver and awarded him a large sum of money, which was really an insult considering what he lost in the incident. Weaver was never convicted because his laywer was able to uncover a long string of lies, tampering with evidence, and other wrongdoing on the part of the Govt. Agencies involved. Jackbooted thugs? Yes.
