This is a pretty balanced 1 hour PBS documentary about the events that led up to the cluster-bleep at Ruby Ridge Idaho,what happened once some Fed panicked and shot teenage Sammy Weaver's dog that was barking at him,and the final result.
Pretty well balanced and has interviews with all of the main players except for Lon Horiuchi ([url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lon_Horiuchi[/url]), a piece of semi-human garbage that I sincerely hope someone tracked down and gave him what he so richly deserved. Since he is not mentioned,I am assuming that he is unfortunately still alive and still in hiding.
AFAIK,the feral government has never identified the US Marshall that shot 14 year old Sammy Weaver in the back and killed him,either. I'm sure his name was mentioned in the wrongful death lawsuit the Weaver Family flied and won against the US Government,but it has never been made public.
The only other scab I have to pick with the producers is they mention "senior FBI officials gave the order to the snipers that they MUST fire if they saw a target." They should have named names. No,this doesn't justify Horiuchi murdering an innocent woman standing in a doorway and holding a baby in her arms,but the Feebs that gave the order deserve the same justice as the shooter. Horiuchi,as a proud cog in the machine that was the FBI would have never dared fire on a unarmed woman holding a baby without those orders.
For those of you too young to remember this,or who happened to be living on another planet when it happened,this was THE event that let the feral government come to an actual understanding that they had been pushing too far,and because of what they did at Ruby Ridge,they came DAMN close to kicking off another American revolution. The Feral agents shown live at the roadblocks,and even the Feeb officials interviewed on tv were terrified,and you could see it in their eyes.
This was after the Janet Reno-ordered attack on the Church full of loons at Waco,Texas,and even people who were not a part of what is called the "gun culture" or right-wing politics were getting disturbed at the violent criminal actions of our out of control government. Ruby Ridge came damn close to being One Step Too Far,and the government knew it and backed off.
All in all it is pretty balanced reporting,and is bound to be a real eye-opener for anyone who wasn't alive at that time.
It was aired this week on my local PBS station,and is most likely available in the archives of your PBS station,or can be viewed at the link.
A hour well-spent. Especially for those of you who don't remember it.

I thought I had all this buried away deep,but while watching it last night I got so mad again that I got dizzy a couple of times. Those feral employees guarding the bridge and surrounding that mountain top are SOOO lucky they weren't given the order to kick the door down and bring them in dead or alive that is is unbelievable. By the time this ended there was a huge crowed of VERY pissed off armed people who had nothing to do with the neo-Nazi group that would have torn them apart limb by limb if they had pulled off an attack on the Weaver family compound like they did at Waco.Subscribe to *Crime and Corruption*

" Anyone remember Ruby Ridge and Randy Weaver? "
Yep!! Sure do, and I also remember WACO ! Remember both very well !!
Thanks for posting Pete. When I have some spare time, will go to the link & watch. I would guess my reaction will be the same as yours, mad.
That was a very sad time for our nation. I know some thought it was OK, but for the life of me, do not understand that thinking.
I know how I would feel if some damn Barney Fife shot my son in the back.
As I said, that was a very terrible time in our nation !!
Thanks again for posting

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.

That whole thing was a powder keg,just waiting for the right spark to go off. I am convinced that if the Feebs had decided to attack the house that the crowd hanging around the bridge would have turned on them and started gunning them down.
Which of course would have resulted in the Feebs and others who work for the feral government gunning THEM down.
And we would end up with open warfare between the citizens and the government. I think the feds there knew that too,and that's why they looked so terrified and why they didn't try to rush the house.

American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.

The mother of two guys I went to school with was French. As a teenager, she was part of the French resistance. I remember her talking about it. She said as it got closer to D Day, which they knew was coming, but not when, they stepped up their attacks on German occupiers. She said the Germans were increasingly afraid, and because of the increased attacks, stayed in larger groups. The Germans did not want to wake up in the morning with a knife in their throat.
Very interesting lady!
