Up on Ruby Ridge

Documentary/song about Ruby Ridge; the Randy Weaver standoff in North Idaho in 1992, original song by Frank Delaney, a Vietnam Era Vet and songwriter, who was at the standoff.
This incident was an example of federal abuse of power, and the local people felt it was an act of war against the people of North Idaho. Weaver was eventually acquitted of most of the charges against him, and was defended by attorney Gerry Spence.

All they wanted to do was live peacefully in their own slice of America.

What does the FBI do?

Kills his wife

Kills his son

Kills his dog.

These are dark days my friends.

ever notice how whenever this is brought up, most genrally mr. weaver is made out to be a racist, or tax evader, as some sort of justification of the actions taken against him.

well the fbi considered him armed and dangerous, they wanted to extort weaver for information. they took the first shot in the standoff, they will never admit to it. the fbi thought the weavers were crazy because vicki weaver thought the world would end soon.it escalated quickly because weaver said no to the fbi. sad story because innocent people were killed. although weaver was acquitted the scars remain.

@TennVol92 true but i bet were all flaged by the feds for watching this

A short time ago some gun company put Vicki Weaver's picture up on their sniper's wall of fame and tried to hire the sniper who killed Vicki for a high up job. Only when gun owners got outraged and boycotted the company did the company refuse to hire that subhuman freak Horiuchi. Horiuchi and the other agents have never been punished but should have been executed for what they did to the Weaver family.

Great song about a great sin against the people of the United States of America. Don't think Janet Reno will ever get all the blood of Ruby Ridge and Waco off her hands.

Another Sad Chapter In the decline of America The Great. Every time I watch or read about this it breaks my heart. An innocent family ruined by a dictatorial government. All this happened under Clintons watch, RUBY RIDGE, SIEGE ON WACO, TX, OKLAHOMA CITY, AND THE FIRST WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING.. all inside government jobs..!!!

This is supposed to be America. You are allowed to have views that aren't necessarily poltically correct. If you want to be a member of Aryan Nations, the KKK , B'nai Brith, JDL or any organization, that's supposed to be your right as long as you don't infringe on other people's rights to believe as they want to.

The Feds wanted Randy Weaver to be an informant against the Aryan Nations because they thought he was a member. When he refused, they put him and his family through Hell.

F*** Lon Horiuchi. Life in prison for him.

Sara weaver came to our church today, she has to relive that moment every time she dose what she did at our church, and even I almost broke out in tears just hearing this story, I can't even think about having to relive that over and over and over.

It's things like this that make me want to rebel against our corrupt government, like in 1961. And no the war was not about slavery. Thing were spun on that too, just like they try to justify this because he was "racist". That is ridiculous. The government is and was WRONG!!!
