You know for a fact that the agent portrayed himself as a white supremacist? You know for a fact he is a Jew-hating, white supremacist?
Funny, I read the agent was pretending to be a biker. Weaver sold two weapons, and then the ATF agent asked him to saw off the butt. There has to be some kind of entrapment in there, because Weaver did not initiate making the weapons illegal.
Even the Marshals wanted to give Weaver until March 20 to appear, but a zealous US Attorney instead indicted him in a grand jury.
When did he pull a gun on a deputy?
And unlike the FBI snipers, Weaver did go to trial. He was acquitted by a jury or had the charges dropped on all charges but failure to appear in court. He paid a fine and spent some time in prison. Maybe you should read up on the case a little.
He didnt refuse to go to court. The original date was Feb 19. Then it was moved to Feb 20, but one letter said March 20. Weaver didnt go on Feb 20, and the Marshals said they should wait until March 20 to be fair. The judge said no, and a warrant and indictment followed. With these events, Weaver believed he could not get a fair trial, and then decided he would not go.
Also, what taxes did he not pay?
I think it was the huckleberry tax. Doesn't the IRS require you to send them 40% of all the huckleberries you pick? /s
