blamed Horiuchi for firing at the door

And where is Ol' Lon today? Happily retired on a gubmint pension for "dong his job"...and probably with a commendation for "good work?"

No, tell that to the FAA who don’t allow aircrew to carry guns ... and those idiot security people at Boston who allowed the terrorists to bring box cutters on board ... and to top it off, you can disable a passenger jet with dental floss .... passenger/crew safety is a joke ......

FAA = US Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration.

[SkyDancer]

I know what the FAA is and what their policies are. Read my bio.

Hopefully you can improve it from the inside. Rearming the pilots is a worthy first goal. Part of the problem is that the corporations running our airline industry wish to indemnify themselves from all second amendment liability. This should not be their decision to make. Contrary to current popular opinion, the airline industry does not rule the American skies. The American people and its constitution do.

Ruby Ridge was a documented case of Federally sponsored murder.

Anyone who says anything else is a stone liar.

The surviving Weaver family received $3.1M in 1995 to settle the suit brought against the BATF for wrongful death. Harris received $380,000 in 2000 for his wounding, making Horiuchi's shot perhaps the single most expensive bullet ever fired by a US official.

Horiuchi remained employed with the FBI throughout his prosecution.[

The POS was born June 9th 1954.

I was born in 57. Doubt he is retired...I have 10 year's before I can, so that leave's him with seven.



More on your "government hero"....

Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that FBI agent Charles Riley said all the way back in June 1993 that he heard shots fired from a sniper post occupied by agent Lon Horiuchi - The FBI's favorite hitman The head of one of the Midwest's largest taxpayer groups today named F.B.I. sniper Lon Horiuchi "Tax Villain of the Month" for crimes against U.S. citizens committed while collecting a salary paid by U.S. taxpayers. - Taxpayers Name F.B.I. Assassin Lon Horiuchi Tax Villain of the Month "put his name and face on every milk cartoon in the state along with his accomplices in the FBI, ATF, and Delta Force. - Wanted: Lon Horiuchi - Killer Horiuchi allegedly shot several Davidians as the attempted to flee their burning church.- Faces of Evil The FBI sniper who killed the wife of Randy Weaver is declared Immune from state prosecution, the federal appeals court ruled Wednesday

I keep getting conflicting stories .... some say Reno was involved others say the AG under Bush senior ..... but I agree, they could have picked up those people at the local K-Mart plus they were set up by the fed’s ..... same with the Branch Davidians ....set up ....

[SkyDancer]

Thanks ... I’m looking for cargo flights ... somehow to me it’s all a three-ring circus ... TSA-FAA-NTSB all circling around each other ... but then too, it’s the fed’s who control the sky Americans own ....

Hollywood and the media are telling Americans to sell their liberty birthrights for a little security. They’re capitulating most willingly. Like sheep to the slaughter.

[SkyDancer]

Wasn’t it Benjamin Franklin who said “People who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither” ...

[metesky]

Didn’t Weaver and his surviving daughters get several million dollars from Uncle?

[Old 300]

Yes, and 9/11 is proof of it. We can expect more tragedy as Americans cower under the false protection government.

[SkyDancer]

I thought Hillary’s statement of how a terrorist attack would aid the GOP ... talk about politics vs leadership ... imagine what would happen to us if her group got in power ....

[Old 300]

Astute, very astute. The power we grant those whom we (think we) trust... will be transferred.

The oligarchy is the House arbitrarily frozen at 435 members. Repeal the 17th Amendment and expand the House times five, minimum and the Republic will work has a chance of working again.

[Lurker]

For the best and most accurate version of what really happened at Ruby Ridge I commend the book "Every Knee Shall Bow".

At a minimum Lon Horiuchi should have done time for negligent homicide.

Personally I hope somebody wastes his wife someday, preferably right in front of him.
