I met him at a Gun Show in west Texas a few years back. Was there as part of a book promotion tour. He still had a look of pain in his eyes...
Whatever happened to Randy?...............
He lives in Montana. I have only met him once but I do know he works in the area.
If there is no repentance, then there should be no forgiveness. Let him face the government’s wrath (assuming that we have a just government!) and then God’s wrath.
I am very glad that Sara Weaver-Balter doesn’t harbor bitterness. I wish she would re-think that forgiveness thing.
I haven’t.

You are in good company:
“Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believed in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
Thanks for posting that. Just read a story earlier this morning about the woman who got acid thrown in her face by an unknown assailant. A pastor met with her to talk about forgiveness. I don’t get it.
Neither have I. Lon Horiuchi should have been fed to the hogs long ago.
If she was mad as hell and a bitter woman, she would never get that chance.
Forgiveness sometimes is not for the benefit of the offender, sometimes you need to forgive for your own survival. God bless this woman, her whole world was taken from her, the only way she can survive is to turn loose and make a new life.
In man’s court, to be declared Not Guilty, you have to plead Not Guilty.
In God’s court, to be declared Not Guilty, you have to plead Guilty.
But this woman’s forgiveness is in the court of her own heart, where unforgiveness burns deep holes and causes bitterness and hate to rule and reign.
She forgave them for her own well-being.
how could they put Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean in prison but give a pass Lon Horiuchi
**************
Easy.
Horiuchi was serving the government’s interests while getting a live fire field exercise.
Ramos and Compean were not. They were naively keeping their oaths, and incidentally disrupting the flow of illicit narcotics and cheap labor.
Second, the way the Feds learn lessons is by paying with $$ and personally going to jail.
The Weaver girls settled cheap and should be rubbing the FBI’s face in it every chance they get. I have been to the cabin before it was torn down and stood where Vicki was and laid where Hourichi the murderer was. I am a long shooter and on my most confident day I would have NEVER taken that shot. All this tragedy over one alleged illegal weapon. Stop the insanity.
Those individuals who committed the atrocity called “Ruby Ridge” should face a tribunal for their acts.
***********
They will. From a Court with no appeal, which enjoys perfect preservation of evidence and full jurisdiction.
I think you are confusing forgiveness with reconciliation.
Roger that.
Biography will re-broadcast Weaver-Balter’s interview at 9 p.m. today, 1 a.m. Saturday and 9 p.m. Monday, Mountain Time. It should be available online at bio.com/aftermath next week.
Ditto Waco.
Thank goodness the "Fairness Doctrine" was no longer in effect and local talk radio had the guts to talk about it often.
Guests included people who where able to position themselves to overlook the Weaver cabin and surrounding impounded area -- without the distant observers being noticed by the feds some speculate that no one in the Weaver cabin would have survived. One described an attempt to burn the cabin being aborted when the observers were noticed.
Forgiveness, like charity and piety, should be silent. Or at least not ride naked through the streets.
“Lon Horiuchi”
FBI
Why is Lon Horiuchi still alive?
Which portion of our society is guilty of inaction on an obviously required act?
