I remember#RubyRidge. If law enforcement violates laws-then no matter the criminal charges-Civil Rights-Constitution must prevail.
I don’t agree that the justice isn’t broken-no offence but this man is CAUCASIAN! #Whiteprivilege is a disease-until recently it was a warm blanket for white forks!🪶🇺🇸

They were known Aryans and preached white supremacy. There was an 18-month investigation. I don't agree with the means, but the end was for the best. The only thing I feel bad about is the dog. The US Marshalls killed his dog on purpose. That always bothered me

Since you're in OR, I'm sure you understand #RubyRidge.

The #BostonMassacre (1770) is a brick in our #Revolutionary history.

Good for them.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a group of Democratic state AGs, but I definitely was not expecting a long monologue about Ruby Ridge and the Boston Massacre www.theverge.com/policy/86588...
Just before the town hall, a reporter asked Ellison about the difficulty states faced in prosecuting federal agents like the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. “The idea that they’re absolutely immune is a misstatement of the law, and it is a dangerous misstatement of the law, because I don’t want any ICE agent or Border Patrol agent or any agent to think that they can just kill people and then that’s it,” Ellison told the group of reporters. Then he asked rhetorically: “What about Ruby Ridge? You ever heard of that one?” Years after an FBI sniper shot Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge, the state of Idaho prosecuted the federal agent. The federal government went to bat for the agent, claiming that he was immune under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. The Ninth Circuit ruled that Idaho was allowed to prosecute the sniper — similarly, Minnesota is also entitled to investigate and potentially prosecute the officer who shot Renee Good. But a different example loomed larger in Ellison’s mind: the Boston Massacre of 1770, where British soldiers shot into a crowd, ultimately killing five people. “It’s not exactly analogous, but we are talking about local authorities in Boston, prosecuting imperial agents of the colonial power, the central government, in England. And they were prosecuted. Two of them were convicted. John Adams actually represented a few of the imperial officers.” The Boston Massacre, said Ellison, was obviously “in the mind of the framers of the Constitution” at the time the document was written. “They were thinking about this event, and they would have never conceded the state’s authority to prosecute a federal officer,” said Ellison, going on to add, “The states of the United States pre-date the United States. It is federal courts that are limited. Not state courts. State courts have plenary power.” He finished with a dramatic flourish: “It’s true that the feds are denying us access to the investigative file. It’s also true that there’s no statute of limitations on murder.”

I was a producer in a Dallas TV newsroom; after covering #Waco and #RubyRidge and then #OKC, I stupidly thought we were through with fringe politics and far-right extremists.
I was so very wrong.

Yep, #Bundy was among those "radicalized" by #RubyRidge ; those who have remained oddly quiet while government agents brutalize and murder their fellow citizens.

Ruby Ridge: The Truth and Tragedy of the Randy Weaver Family
I’m so glad they republished with the new chapter which mentions current events and how this is STILL relevant which is wild. Review in pics.

#booksky #nonfiction #rubyridge
Book cover for Ruby Ridge with a picture of an aerial view of the house the Weavers built surrounded by rocks and trees Part one screenshot of my review that says: your review for: Ruby Ridge: The Truth and Tragedy of the Randy Weaver... 5.0 informative It's hard to rate stuff like this because it's like oh 5 stars for RANDY WEAVER?! But no, it's for the thorough story about Randy Weaver and the case that made Ruby Ridge. It's weird to learn more about this event and be like "wow, RW was a racist extremist AND wtf was the government doing?" The beginning sort of alluded to Vicki Weaver being the head and master mind of the Weaver family and then just told how she was a racist antigovernment wife and mother. It was a little disappointing to feel like more detail was coming on that but ultimately it was just her getting scapegoated after the fact when she was dead and couldn't defend herself. I AM NOT DEFENDING THE WEAVERS. I just find it so weird how this case went and was told and fed to us when we have seen… Part two screenshot of my review that says: white male shooters arrested without incident time and time again for SHOOTING PEOPLE, and ultimately RW had illegally sold guns one time, why not just go to their door and pick him up? Which is why it's worth reading. A lot of it leads back to why the entire thing was handled the way it was including the family, the town, the Marshalls, FBI, all of it. Like they WANTED to make an example but ended up feeding into paranoia. A lot of questions still unanswered and yes that family was extreme, but this book was a great example of what reporting should be rather than just the biased garbage we get all the time now - which is a point newly added to the end of this.

A deadly standoff in 1992 changed federal use-of-force rules. Here's why it matters
An encounter with white separatists decades ago led to new deadly force policies for some federal law enforcement. Minneapolis is raising questions about whether it's again time to revisit the issue.

Ruby Ridge remains controversial because the deaths cannot be separated from the decisions that led to the siege. It exposed profound failures in federal law enforcement.

Happy #RubyRidge Day! Gotta do something, maybe grill some Idaho potatoes or something. I fuckin' hate cults, Christian fundamentalists, and anti-government separatists so much that I'm totally fine with Lon Horiuchi smoking that Weaver pack. People outside of the control of society are dangerous.

The events of #RubyRidge are significant because they “codified an alliance of tax protestors, radical anti-abortionists, militiamen, racists, Identity Christians, survivalists, conspiracy theorists, and those who simply believed the U.S. government had grown too large.”
