Last week, I took note that organizations across the country were commemorating the Ruby Ridge attack.
What sparked this commemoration was that just this last week, the FBI handed medals of bravery, which is actually cowardice, to the very agents who are murderers, who were involved in the 2016 assassination of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum.
Ruby Ridge was an attack on an innocent man and his family on August 2, 1992 by the US government with the use of unconstitutional agencies, and in this case, the FBI.
The FBI and the US Marshalls, under the Bush administration, were directed to set up Vietnam Veteran Randy Weaver and then accuse him of the crimes they were guilty of perpetrating against him (Revelation 12:17).
They happily did so. Here are the details of this attack.
At the Ruby Ridge standoff in 1992, a federal agent and Randy Weaver’s son, Samuel, were killed during a confrontation with US Marshals. Later, during the resulting FBI siege, an FBI sharpshooter shot and killed Weaver’s wife, Vicki Weaver, while she was holding her baby. The Weaver family dog was also killed by marshals during the initial encounter.
The Standoff’s Origin
• Reason for Surveillance: Randy Weaver was being surveilled by federal agents because he had failed to appear in court after being charged with selling illegal shotguns.
• Initial Encounter: On August 21, 1992, marshals encountered members of the Weaver family, which resulted in a gunfight.
The Casualties
Samuel Weaver: During the initial firefight, Weaver’s 14-year-old son, Samuel, was killed by a federal marshal.
Vicki Weaver: An FBI sharpshooter shot and killed Weaver’s unarmed wife, Vicki, while she was holding their infant child.
The Dog: The family’s dog was shot and killed by the marshals when it ran out to uncover the marshals’ location.
Aftermath
• Surrender and Settlement: The standoff concluded after 11 days when Weaver and the remaining family members surrendered to federal authorities.
Of course, what the US government did not want divulged to the public is what they actually did to this family.
The Weaver family later received a $3.1 million settlement from the federal government.
How did the FBI respond? FBI director Louis Freeh went so far as to promote one of the agents involved.
