I remember it very well. The feds acted like common thugs, trying to apprehend a former green beret. Weaver’s kid then killed a deputy which started the whole tragic ball rolling. When confronted with this horrible episode, President Bush Sr. managed to sit on it until he was out of office.

Most of the people behind Ruby Ridge not only got away without punishment, they are now back in the decision making process under Bush jr
