His daughter Sara reported on Facebook her father died yesterday. Randy was the leading protagonist of the Ruby Ridge siege. RIP Randy!


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

A man that never wanted to be in the spotlight but was forced into it. His life was a warning about what happens when big government targets you. I hope he is in his wife's and sons arms right now. RIP Randy, You and your family are in my prayers.

I had a soda pop with Randy in a little bar near here one time. We talked about squirrel hunting.

Like most of us on here, he just wanted to be left alone. He made a mistake or two, and it cost him more than any of us would be willing to pay. I hope he is at peace.

I wasnt a fan. Never met him, but know people who have. Both sides made mistakes, but he could have gotten his family out. When I read the book it left a bad taste in my mouth when he talked about having his daughter stand up and get him water while he was hiding on the floor. HE certainly didnt do much fighting.

January 6 Commision is a replay of Ruby Ridge. Political persecution at its finest.

How many BLM & ANTIFA rioters have gotten the same equal treatment?

Liberals should never have power over anybody as they are abusive by nature.

His story along with the women and children at Waco and probably the story of Lavoy Fincton are among the most concerning I have ever heard.

It was tragic and completely unnecessary but the good thing was it set Janet Reno and the FBI back on their collective heels. RIP Mr. Weaver.

George H W Bush was President when Ruby Ridge went down. Janet was responsible for what happened in Waco while Slick Willy was in office, so I do agree with your sentiment toward that ignorant Fat Cow.
