Ruby Ridge white separatist Randy Weaver dies age 74
UK Daily Mail ^ | 5/13/2022 | Keith Griffith

Randy Weaver, patriarch of a family that was involved in an 11-day Idaho standoff with federal agents 30 years ago that left three people dead and inspired the modern anti-government militia movement, has died at the age of 74.

His death on Wednesday was announced on in a Facebook post by daughter Sara Weaver, who lives near Kalispell, Montana and wrote 'Love you always Dad' on a post sharing a photo of him, along with the dates January 3, 1948, and May 11, 2022.

Sara Weaver did not immediately return Facebook messages and email requests for information. Details of Randy Weaver's cause of death were not immediately available.

Randy Weaver's standoff with federal agents in the mountains near Ruby Ridge in the Idaho Panhandle transfixed the nation in August of 1992.

Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh cited Ruby Ridge as his motive.

“Weaver had moved his family to northern Idaho in the 1980s to escape what he saw as a corrupt world, saying he believed in separation of races.”

Since then tons of decent black folks have moved to Idaho seeking to separate themselves from the troglodytes in the Democrat states.

That was when FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi murdered Weaver’s wife in cold blood as she stood at the door holding her baby in her arms. This is an object lesson for anyone who thinks they can be “left alone” by the government. Those White Supremacist rallies back then had more govt agents and reporters at the rally than White Supremacists. The undercover FBI and ATF agents even tried to arrest each other from time to time as they tried to fool WSes into committing crimes.

If I remember correctly, the FBI approached Randy Weaver to get him to be an informer on the Aryan Nation who had a camp in the area, when he refused, all his problems began.

I think it was the Aryan Nation, if not it was some other White Supremacy Group in Northern Idaho.

It’s probably the same MO the FBI used to get informants in the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot and on 1/6.

Never forget that feinstein and schumer were both unrepentant cheerleaders for government-sponsored murder in his case, and in that of Waco.

I believe those individuals are called honest hard working farmers who found a better way of life away from the Democrat plantation.

An American tragedy. Weaver was FRAMED, found innocent in court.

Which didn’t bring his wife or son back from the dead.

They also killed the dog.

FBI Murderers.

Did the FBI sniper murderer ever spend a day in jail?

No. Also, former AG William P. Barr, who filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting immunity from prosecution for Horiuchi.

So, everybody should have known the type of guy Barr was, and there was no illusion of holding .gov accountable with him under Trump.

They also pestered him to saw off a shotgun many times. He refused and they just kept it up. Eventually he agreed and that's how ATF got the warrant for the raid.

He spent several years hiding out on military bases. He was proud of his actions. Strange coming from a Buddhist.

Nope. They had protection.

His name was (is) Bob Barr.
