If Weaver had not been entrapped into making a sawed off shotgun, the whole thing would not have happened. The point of the Government action was to get another informant friendly with the Aryan Nations. Weaver would not do it, so the Goverment made this Scheme.
Where is Horiuchi now? Still a sniper?
Its good to remember this stuff but the militia timeline in the article is off. Openly operated militias, those "anti-gov" or not, were already in decline by then.
Maybe his is working for "CNN" now....
Last I heard he was a training instructor at Quintico (sp).
Yes, Lon Horiuchi was at Waco, and he is said to have shot several innocent people who ran from the burning building. But no followup investigations were ever allowed, and clinton had all the remaining evidence bulldozed and buried. Including the infamous front door with the bullet holes in it.
Presumably Janet Reno approved of Horiuchi being there, assuming that her foggy mind was up to such details. It's not as if he was a low-profile kind of guy, and after Ruby Ridge allowing him to go into action again with his sniper rifle was absolutely incredibly stupid, if not deliberately murderous, on the part of his superiors.
I haven't heard a single word about Horiuchi since Waco. I wonder if he is still at the FBI, no doubt being given medals and promotions by that idiot Mueller?
"Including the infamous front door with the bullet holes in it."
Or when the finally admitted they used incendiary devices.
I believe I had read that he received a promotion to some admin position shortly thereafter, I dont know that its true...
Three of the twelve expended .308 Winchester shell casings that the Texas Rangers reported finding in the house, were at Horiuchi's position, but officials maintain that they could have been left over from the BATF's use of the house earlier, and that it would be impossible to run ballistics tests to see which rifle fired the shots[5].
Three empty shell casings were found where Horiuchi was stationed at the time, but there was no investigation. Apparently the FBI said it couldn't be proven because his rifle had been rebarrelled. A somewhat odd thing to do in the circumstances, one would think.
"A somewhat odd thing to do in the circumstances, one would think"
Not odd. A cover up.
Whereabouts Undisclosed. The photo came from one obtained by Soldier of Fortune Magazine
That would be him.
Anyone who tries to excuse the murders at Ruby Ridge and Waco is a Clintonite scumbag.
Murder? Yes. Mass Murder? No. (I think you need a bunch more victims for that.)
Whoever authorized the shooter is, in my mind, every bit as culpable as Horiuchi, however.
http://www.apfn.org/apfn/horiuchi.htm is an interesting read with links.
"If he hadn't given in to the urgings of the Government snitch"
"urgings"
Nice term. What type of "urging" was it?
