Randy Weaver, a white separatist, had been targeted by the federal government after failing to appear in court to face charges related to his selling of two illegal sawed-off shotguns to an Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) informant.

Then he should have availed himself of the courts with a wife and son instead of doing it without them.

feds opened fire first.....

feds opened fire first.....

On August 22, Lon Horiuchi, an FBI sniper hiding about 200 yards (183 metres) from the cabin at Ruby Ridge, opened fire when he believed Weaver and Harris were preparing to shoot at an FBI helicopter. The first shot hitRandy Weaver in the arm.

It happened during the republican administration of George H. Bush. The out of control ATF agency was looking for a big score when budget time came around. To make a long story short they entrapped a citizen to force him into being a federal informant. Eventually they murdered Randy Weaver's son and shot Weaver and his friend. A FBI sniper was indicted for manslaughter when he shot Mrs. Weaver in the head as she was holding an 18 month old child in her arms and the charges were quietly dismissed by a federal judge. Randy Weaver was subsequently convicted of a bureaucratic charge and was quietly awarded a million dollars for the abuses by federal law enforcement. The same ATF renagades went on to bigger things when they rewrote the Constitution during the Clinton Administration and incinerated about 8o men women and children at Waco.

The Branch Davidians: Oh, My God, They're Killing Themselves!

Ruby Ridge was a preview of what the insanity of the federal government could accomplish. To make it short an innocent citizen was compelled by an out of control federal agency and forced to be an ATF informant. When Randy Weaver refused, the ATF sent a slick operative to his property and offered amateur gunsmith Weaver a lot of money to cut the barrel of a shotgun to a specific length. Weaver should have been smart enough but he wasn't and took the money and cut the shotgun barrel to 1/8 of an inch below federal regulations and unknowingly became the ATF's bitch. Weaver was indicted and they changed the court date without notifying him and when he didn't show up he became a "fugitive from justice" in the eyes of the federal government. The ATF stopped Weaver and his wife driving down an icy road and threw them both down in the slush and handcuffed them and once again offered Weaver a chance to be a federal bitch and he again refused. The rest is history.

Doesn't matter who or what Weaver's politics were, the FBI was flat out wrong and criminal in this instance. Shooting his wife was completely irresponsible.

 

[Steven_R]

Shot his wife, and then mocked him about her death over loudspeakers for days while her corpse was still on the kitchen floor.

He could have surrendered anytime .
Your point?

 

[Steven_R]

My point is the FBI sniper put one through the head of an unarmed woman and then made fun of it just to twist the knife.

Sounds like your typical Milwaukee, Baltimore, or Ferguson protester......only white.

He could have surrendered long before that happened too.
Still no point.

Seems color doesn't count for much till it works to your imagined advantage.

 

[Steven_R]

And they could have not shot an unarmed woman in the face.

This shit seems to happen to American citizens more when Democrat are in power. Apparently the only people that have rights as citizens are a few that also believe they have the right to tell others how they should think, speak and believe.
