The first mistake they made, in my opinion, was they failed to clearly established who was actually Richard Wershe Sr. from the very start. Seriously, it took me so much time to figure this out. Basically, he was a poor guy who sold some weapons but then, why on Earth did Rick Wershe Jr. go to sell these AK47’s to these notorious thugs when he was just 15 years old at the time?
