The killing of Mrs. Weaver was outrageous, and I'm sure that most FReepers will agree to that. It was unjustified, and the shooter deserved to be jailed or even executed and the 'system' instead protected him. That the general populace isn't as outraged at that case (mostly due to lack of information, as many people are ignorant as to the facts of Ruby Ridge) does not make this shooting any more justified.

Exactly. This shooting is just as chicken bleep as the Weaver case. The general populace however is outraged. The Cookeville,TN website is pretty much shut down. They are getting hammered. And I'm sure the mayor is hearing it from all over...

Unfortunately, Weaver was villified and demonized so effectively by the media, that the general public believes that he and his family got what they deserved.
