“There are rumors that the sniper (Horiuchi) was also present at Waco during the Branch Daviudian standoff.”
I heard the same thing. He was supposed to either have driven or been in one of the two tanks they used to break in the walls at Mt Carmel

William Barr was a member of the Federalist Society.

So who has Lon Horiuchi been murdering from afar these days? Or are he and “Jimmy the Tulip” still doing shots in Moab, Utah?

Ruby Ridge and Waco were both "Dry Runs" with gunsmoke. Practice makes perfect.

Actually, Ruby Ridge occured under President George H. W. Bush and his Attorney General in 1992. Janet Reno did not take over DOJ until 1993.Two sides of the same coin.

There was also no evidence from which it could be concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that Horiuchi actually saw Vicki Weaver at the time he fired the shot that killed her. Right........I look through the scope on my rifle all the time deer hunting and never see anything when I pull the trigger.

Basically, the jackboots involved should all have been hanged, but they were promoted. Nothing has changed. The Bush/Clinton/Bush administration continues unabated.
Magaw, from the Waco massacre, is now Bush’s man in Homeland insecurity.

Ruby Ridge was Bush’s game.

Ok, Bush senior .... got it .....

Good afternoon.
“He was supposed to either have driven or been in one of the two tanks they used to break in the walls at Mt Carmel”
As a sniper, Horiuchi probably wouldn’t have gotten close to the building, even in an armored vehicle.
I believe, but don’t know, that he was in a position not far off.

from what I remember, these months of planning and execution [pun intended] resulted from BATFags entrappment over 2 shotguns cut down to 17 & 1/2 inches.
My take is that Mr. Weaver must have REALLY p!zzed somebody off to draw that kind of concentrated effort from a whole army of alphabet soup... my .02

I vaguely remember that they were trying to nail him so they could force him to roll over on someone else.
I think it might have been related to PROMIS and INSLAW.

Magaw, from the Waco massacre, is now Bushs man in Homeland insecurity. Transportation Security Administration, which is part of Homeland Security. They even named a "values award" for him. I think he's an "emeritus" now, but still sits on the Homeland Security Advisory council. Also former head of BATF from 1994 - 1999. He was also previously head of the Secret Service.
We have him to thank for heel dragging and bureaucratic obstacles put in front of airline pilots wishing to be armed to protect their aircraft. He was also a major player in getting them to be reserve deputy US Marshall, rather than lawfully armed citizens.

Those who claim W brought a change to the Whitehouse are nuts. Same oligarchy, a few different characters.

Well, put it this way... You’re still allowed to defend yourself against terrorists.

Youre still allowed to defend yourself against terrorists. Tell that to the 767 pilots who died on 9/11.
