I talked to Randy Weaver at a gun show here in Grand Rapids MI maybe 8-10 years ago and bought his book. His account sue is different from the title of that show; also Lon Horiuchi (sp) should be in prison by now.
Without having read either the article or the link or Preminger's take, I can tell you right now that they start on the wrong premise. This was not a tragedy, it was an atrocity.
ok, after following the links, I realize I had seen both referenced works.
The tv airing did all it could to make the FBI, the Marshall's Service et al look like well-intentioned bumblers instead of the murdering pricks they are. I do remember distinctly, Hell it's only been a day, swearing at the tv every time I heard the sleight of mouth.
Must've just killed the filmmakers near the end when they had to admit that the Gummint paid the Weavers 3.1 million dollars. They managed to leave out the attempt by the Gummint to pay the kids and deny Randy anything.
