The article is quite a whopper, calling this fellow a "family man". Yeah, a family man who killed another man's 14-year-old boy.
I looked into this story a bit, and I found the claim that Sammy Weaver had been shooting at the marshals after they executed his dog. Is there any actual evidence for this? Seems unlikely to me, he's 14 and he was shot in the back. On the other hand, as low as my opinion of government officials it, it seems not very likely that they would shoot at a 14-year-old for no reason (if only because they would suffer reputational damage, as they did).
Not just any bumblefuck sniper, an elite FBI Hostage Rescue Team sniper who graduated from West Point. Who then went on to fuck up Waco after fucking up Ruby Ridge.
Anyone that says "only trained police and military should have guns" needs to deepthroat a cactus.

An FBI sniper then proceeded to shoot Vicki Weaver through the head as she stood on her porch holding her infant daughter.
So, yeah, they weren't worrying about their reputations at that time.

Man, humanity never ceases to come up with new stuff
H.G. Wells and Tesla couldn't have imagined such a future.
