You’re a goober cause you think Weaver is a hero.
Observer:
Tony and Jackie Brown release The First Canary
Colburn couple publishes long awaited insider account of Ruby Ridge
COLBURN — Colburn residents and Ruby Ridge insiders Tony Brown and Jackie Brown have finally released their long-awaited account of what really happened at Ruby Ridge.
The book is entitled The First Canary because the Browns, who were close friends of the Weavers, believe that the primary reason the government staged a military assault on a north Idaho family was to see how the American public would respond.
The public’s response, according to the Browns, emboldened the federal government to murder the men, women and children we know as the Branch Davidians by shooting them, gassing them and then burning their church/home to the ground.
It would appear that a new chapter in the annals of American history began the moment U.S. Marshal Larry Cooper, while attempting to sneak up on the Weaver home with other marshals, killed 14-year-old Sammy Weaver by shooting him in the back.
When the smoke finally settled up on Ruby Ridge, three members of the Weaver family were dead and two were injured: Sammy was dead, his mother Vicki Weaver was dead from a shot between the eyes that came from the rifle of federal sniper/assassin Lon Horiuchi, and their faithful golden lab Striker was also shot and killed by the feds. Randy Weaver and Kevin Harris were shot and wounded — all because, allegedly, Randy Weaver refused to appear in court to answer charges that he sold an illegally shortened shotgun to a federal agent.
Randy Weaver was eventually aquitted of the charges against him and was awarded $3.1 million in a civil action prosecuted by attorney Gerry Spence in the court of Idaho District Federal Court Judge Edward Lodge.
Former Boundary County Prosecuting Attorney Denise Woodbury attempted to prosecute Horiuchi for manslaughter and found that Judge Lodge believed he should not be held criminally liable for murdering an innocent woman.
The Browns felt compelled to tell the world what really happened at Ruby Ridge because, nine years later, the government is still lying to the American people about what happened. “We have spent the last several years researching and writing this book,” said Jackie Brown. “We believe it is the most accurate version of the story to date and hope that the book gets out there so the American people can understand what is happening to them.”
Tony Brown commented that the Weaver incident was simply the first canary.

Count me in as a goober, too.
I’m quite surprised we haven’t had a Waco or Ruby Ridge type incident this year.
I really expected Eric Holder (a Janet Reno apprentice) and the Baraqqis to try and show the public who’s boss early on.
Given the current mood of the country, one of these won’t go down easy.
Rest in Peace, Sammy and Vicki. The LORD will judge rightly.
You are now officially a goober. You must of course also not pay your taxes and go to Aryan nation Meetings to further your career.
Then you both should do your best to get the name right.
It is "Horiuchi"...
I knew I could count on you.
I’m sure these fools are working on one right now.
Gee,
Thanks teach.
What I wonder about though is there are millions of p*ssed off patriots already after just 6 months of Baraq.
If they try it now, I think the country could explode.
The national mood is NOTHING like it was in the early 90s.
That doesn’t mean Holder won’t try it, I just think the outcome will be much different.
You’re right, thanks for the correction
Just what I would expect from an Obama supporter.
Because I don't fall in lock-step with the idea that big government agencies have the right to murder American citizens.... then I am a racist.
Enjoy your Kool-Aid.
I can even see them screwing him over with the length, but i cannnot see why he didnt pay taxes, why he aligned with the groups he did, why he tried to shoot it out with his kids and family at stake, why after the whole thing is over he aligned with nazi groups, white supremacists etc. Hes an idiot at the least.
BFL
Very good.
Horiuchi was in sniper outpost 3 at Waco. He reportedly never engaged the BDs, but expended brass was found at that location after the fact.
Problem is the operating budgets for the year are already in and being processed in April (at the latest).
That means you need a different motive for the mission.
In the case of Waco it was clearly a need to show that ATF women could wield the new semi-auto (fires two rounds) weapons in a tight situation. That is, it was a demonstration project ~ strictly internal ~ nothing to do with budgets. They thought they had a soft target ~ one nut case.
When it comes to Ruby Ridge, the situation was it was nice weather, a little early for "hunting season" but these were federal officers with access to federal lands in the area, and there was the target of the investigation (Randy Weaver and his house) where a couple of guys could stake out while the others on that $13,000 per week per diem fueled hunting vacation could go do something else ~ like hunt!
There is no way management approved that much money for that much per diem for just one perp wanted for a court date he'd missed. A good time for the guys in the shop is a better rationale.
I suspect the supervisory personnel involved in this could still be prosecuted for per diem fraud, grand theft, etc. Maybe Eric Holder would prefer to tag these guys out.
“Im sure you fools are working on one right now”
LOL Its like watching a bunch of hippies celebrating the vietnam war protests.
Show me where I ever supported Obama. Come on mouth...find one link to one post from me that says that.
Youre like blacks who scream racism when they cant rebut any conversation.
