--SNIP-- The controversial standoff spawned a nationwide debate on the use of force by federal law enforcement agencies, and a U.S. Senate panel accused the federal agencies involved of substantial failures in their handling of the Ruby Ridge operation. Of particular controversy was an FBI rule of engagement implemented at the beginning of the Ruby Ridge siege that stated any armed adult male observed in the vicinity of the Weaver cabin could and should be killed. Many condemned this policy as unconstitutional. Rumors that the FBI had engaged in a cover-up regarding the Ruby Ridge operation were verified when E.

Kahoe, who had destroyed an official bureau critique of the standoff, was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

It was/is still gov.’t sanction murder
Randy was asked to infiltrate a group that included some friends. The ATF framed him, then persecuted him. It’s that simple.
My hope is that Lon Horiuchi rots in hell for his actions !!
