Weaver was set up by the, "Government," and refused to go along with the setup. The FBI, (Fumbling Bumbling Idiots)are the problem here not a man who decided he no longer wanted to part of the socialist society he was witnessing. Just as the FBI not picking up their target in Waco on the street instead of attacking they are entirely the source of the problems.
The same could be said with the ambush they set up for Gordon Kahl!
