Randy Weaver. Entrapped by the FBI, allegedly over a shotgun below the legal barrel length, refused to become an informant. FBI claimed he missed a court date, so they raided his home and killed some of his family. The FBI sniper who murdered his unarmed wife was Lon Horuichi, who was cleared of any wrongdoing because FBI agents have all-encompassing immunity when attacking right wingers.
Long story short, a family was destroyed and a few people murdered over something that merited a $50 fine.

The shotgun was the excuse, but really it was because he was affiliated with the Aryan Nation. Weaver was a bad goy and jews wanted to make an example. The far-right movement in Idaho basically died after Ruby Ridge scared everybody.
He wasn't even directly involved with them, he just traded with them from time to time because they were the only people living anywhere near him and his family. The real reason the (((feds))) murdered his wife and kid is because they can't abide the idea of a White man that doesn't want to be a part of their (((system)))
