For those too young to remember, it was thirty years ago this month that the DOJ entrapped Randy Weaver for his Christian beliefs, issued a death warrant, killed his dog, son, and wife, and shot Weaver and his friend.
Surely, the DOJ doesn’t just execute innocent people. Yet, as we learned at trial:
He had no propensity to commit crimes. Never even had a traffic ticket. Never been charged with a crime of any kind and honorably served his country.
While living in Iowa, Weaver learned it was illegal to homeschool his children independently, so he moved his family to a cabin in remote Idaho, Ruby Ridge.
Weaver attended Aryan Nation meetings three times, meeting not far from Ruby Ridge, “to exchange ideas, talk to people, I usually ended up arguing.” That’s where Gus Magisano befriended Weaver and tried to involve him in illicit activity. Weaver refused. But after three years of coaxing, Weaver finally agreed to make two sawed-off shotguns. Magisano was a fed.
Very good history lesson. The government will kill anyone who gets too far out of line. They murdered Levoi Finicum and Ashely Babbitt and many more with impunity. I will stifle my next comment-they might see fit to kill me and my family too.
Stop rewriting history. Weaver was a madman who thought he was above the law..
not really maybe you should read some history
It’s funny. When a black man gets beaten or killed by law enforcement after not complying with them you blame them for not obeying law enforcement. But when Weaver does it you make him a hero. And BTW, you don’t attend Aryan Nation meetings to exchange ideas and talk to people. You attend because you’re a sick White Supremacist.
if you are a threat to them or even think about undermining or exposing them then you are a dead man!
