Default Ruby Ridge:30 years later

Yesterday marked 30 years since the Federal government attack on Randy Weaver, a Former Green Beret, in which his wife, son, and dog were murdered by federal law enforcement officers, while his friend as injured by. One of the US Marshals who opened fire on the family was shot and killed as well.

All of this because after he was entrapped by the ATF, Weaver failed to become a informant, was arrested, and subsequently failed to appear in court on bogus charges. After the murders and a standoff, Weaver was tried and acquitted on all charges except the failure to appear. Weaver also received a 3 million dollar settlement. This was prime example of just how tyrannical government can be. Weaver passed away in May 2022.
