I'm with HankB in that I don't care for Randy Weaver even a little, BUT, we're supposed to have the right to be left the hell alone as long as we're not bothering anyone else. He wasn't, but the Feds wanted to make use of him and when he declined their offer (read: attempt at coercion) they decided to screw him, and did. They screwed themselves in the process, got people killed, and we the taxpayers had to pony up blood money for their mistakes. I don't begrudge him or his children the money (even though it surely won't bring his wife and son back so what's the point?), I just would rather the people that did it had had to cough up.
