Randy Weaver - Ruby Ridge


Randy Weaver tells his story to ABC News Primetime for the first time since he lost his wife and 14-year-old son in the Siege at Ruby Ridge in the mountains of northern Idaho.  ABC News retraces the steps where Randy saw his wife and son and the family dog shot by FBI as they were stalked by the FBI on weapons charges and failing to show up for court.  A federal marshal also lost his life during the shootout too.  One would wonder if the entire bloodbath was necessary.  Three people lost their lives in a needless shootout.  After watching this episode, it would appear as if the FBI became the Weavers executioners instead of someone who was supposed to protect them.  In the end, the Weavers won a $3.1 million lawsuit to which $1 million went to Weaver’s daughters and $100,000 to Weaver.
