Interesting, but I never really knew the backstory about what happened.

Crazy stuff.

Watched it yesterday. Certainly seems the FBI was AFU. Headshot on Vicki Weaver......fucked up.

Read the book about the trial by Gerry Spence and learn how he got the Govt. to admit they planted evidence at the scene.

Yeah, clearly the guy was kinda squirrelly and boy did everything go sideways. Literally a clusterfuck.

I watched it; I found it very interesting, yet sad.

The DOJ screwed that one up bigtime, but I also believe Weaver was a bit of a crackpot.

I saw him at a gun-show in the 90s in Austin trying to sling books for the paladin press.

Just finished it. Watched it in segments tonight. The interviews with the daughter were very compelling. I don't think I knew he and Harris had been acquitted and then he turned around and successfully sued the federal government.

Putting it into perspective here. Wife and son killed because he refused to appear in court

ATF baited the guy in order to get him to spy on his friends.

That's not exactly true though. Randy received a letter informing him that his trial had been scheduled for March 20, though the actual date was February 20. That said he probably wouldn't have shown up either way though.

Remember when this was playing out live, Lt. Col Bo Gritz was involved in negotiations. The book Every Knee Shall Bow is pretty indepth, whole thing is wrong.

Theres a book called Cold Zero written by Chris somefuckinHRTguy. Spills the other side of the story. I give him credit, as he really doesn't try to spin anything. Just tells the story as he saw it.

If I recall, the shot was at the discretion of Horiuchi. Been a while, but if I recall, he first stated that he didn't know who he fired the shot at. Then the second time stated that he felt Weaver was a threat then he pled the 5th.


Someone have better detail?

We don't know if he would have shown up or not.  I for one am not interested in that, only the facts of what happened.  They baited/coerced him then gave him false info...then shot his wife and son.  None of them were held accountable.

Do a search as there was quite a thread here when it first ran.

If they have the Austin Sniper one available watch it. It covered the whole incident from a little different angle. Well done, actually.

I watched all of the Congressional testimony on CSPAN way back after it happened.

Read Gerry Spence's book too.

What a shitshow by the ATF, US Marshals, and FBI.

Our fuck face sheriff that won't issue CCW permits was involved in it.

This is what happens when you have a big government.   You end up with too many "professional" government employees, enforcing too many laws and regulations.

This is a long standing myth that keeps perpetuating itself. So many people have just accepted it as fact that it is never corrected.

He never attended the Q course or earned his S.F. tab. He was in a support role M.O.S. but never attended SWQC. I don't think he was even in the unit longer than a year at the most.

The movie says they would talk to vickie, telling her to come out with the kids, surrender. Supposedly did not know she was dead. If the shooter didn't know who he shot, why would they think she was dead?

I don't think it was done intentionally because they knew she was dead.

Sara had a shitty childhood. I can't imagine having my mom killed, then her body staying there for days, as a young teen.

This part didn't make the headlines. The headlines were all about this racist, arti-government wackjob who refused to go to court. It was all a lie.

Important lesson: .gov controls the narrative, and they will smear anyone they target with any kind of convenient lie to rationalize their actions. And they will not be held accountable. I wish the true story of Ruby Ridge was taught in every school.

Gerry Spence is a big time liberal, but an honest one. He took that case knowing that fellow was being villified and railroaded. Was able to easily dismantle their case and throw it back at the government.

Weaver was no saint by any means, but as such he did not deserve what happened, all for entrapment.  It happened under Bush, and the ring leaders of this shit show never were severely punished.  Several of them were later in charge of another mess in 1993 when they attempted to raid some bible thumpers outside Waco.  That whole mess was an attempt at showing who was in charge and we know how that turned out 24 yrs and 5 days ago.  Too many members on here are unfamiliar with Ruby Ridge and that's a tragedy.
