Prosecutor declines to prosecute FBI sniper in Ruby
               Ridge case

               Thursday, June 14, 2001

               THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

               SPOKANE -- The FBI sniper who shot the wife of white separatist Randy
               Weaver at Ruby Ridge will not be tried in an Idaho courtroom for involuntary
               manslaughter, Boundary County, Idaho, Prosecutor Brett Benton said
               Thursday.

               Last week, a sharply divided 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that FBI
               sniper Lon Horiuchi could face trial for the death of Vicki Weaver in the 1992
               standoff.

               Benton issued his decision in a brief press release from his Bonners Ferry,
               Idaho, office. He gave no reason for his decision.

               The involuntary manslaughter charge had been filed by Benton's predecessor,
               Denise Woodbury. She lost to Benton in last year's election.

               Special Prosecutor Stephen Yagman, a Los Angeles attorney appointed by
               Woodbury to handle the case, said he did not take part in the decision to drop
               the charge.

               "Were there to be a different prosecutor in Boundary County, the charge, or
               more severe charges such as second-degree murder, could be refiled,"
               Yagman said in the news release.

Is anyone really suprised?

I am relieved!  This guy is a government employee and was only doing his job of protecting us!  Vicki Weaver was a dangerous person and he probably felt threatened.

Whatever! he's not an your side. if it was your
wife you would think different. this just say's
the Gov cannot be held liable for the death's of anyone.

Not surprising.  God forbid she may have thrown her pre-ban assault baby at an officer of the peace.  


What a bunch of BS.

Put down the crack pipe!  Can you spell SARCASM?

[:D]

So let me get this straight.....This guy kills one innocent in cold blood and gets off free.  McVeigh kills 168 innocents and dies because of it.  Yet we all support McVeigh dying and are pissed off that this guy goes free. So I ask what is the difference??  Is the number of people that are killed that matters or what??

Difference is one guy killed with the  authority and blessing of our government. Who needs terrorists when our own government can kill us even better. If I didn't have so much to live for I would show Lon how it feels to be on the other side of the scope.

No one can post Lon's address?  

With all the resources all of our users have here, no one can find his "file" and post pertinent info?

Payback is a bitch.

And that is my point!!  We should be very afraid that this guy got off, because now every one of us can be a target and no one will be held accountable.

Anyone?

In the article I read in my local paper, the prosecuter said something to the effect of," we hope this will all be put behind us and begin the healing process." As can be evidenced on this thread, it's working. Let the healing begin.

The healing will begin as soon as Lons address and pertinent info is released to the patriot community.

A few weeks later, the healing should begin.
