[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1078033, member: 14668"] then The US Marshals that murdered Sammy Weaver were approximately 1/4 of a mile from the Weavers cabin, sneaking around in the woods wearing camoflage and black masks, when they encountered Randy Weaver. Not knowing who the masked and camo-clad men were, Weaver turned and ran; a few moments later the marshals encountered Sammy Weaver and Kevin Harris who had been following the family dog from a different direction to investigate noises which they assumed were made by a deer that they intended to harvest for meat. Without any provocationt the Marhals shot and killed the Weavers dog; Sammy Weaver and Kevin Harris assumed that the shots were aimed at them, so they returned fire and a gun fight ensued that resulted in Sammy Harris and one of the marshals being killed. At [I]no[/I] point did the marshals ever identify themselves; at [I]no[/I] point did they simply drive up to the cabin in a marked police vehicle to serve the warrant. All they did in this case was to shoot and kill (in the back of course) a 14 year boy with no warrants for his arrest, followed shortly thereafter by a head shot on his unarmed mother who was inside the family cabin holding a baby.
