Yep, #Bundy was among those "radicalized" by #RubyRidge ; those who have remained oddly quiet while government agents brutalize and murder their fellow citizens.
Still waiting for 2A absolutist in our family to step up since we're under a tyrannical government.
#2A is important but they lie about why.

#AlexPretti Domestic Terrorist, now if he & Renee Nicole Good are terrorists for exercising their constitutional rights. What does that make you? I remember a time #GOP & libertarians would shout about #RubyRidge & #Waco . #Trump voters need to understand he'll do it to them next. #WATO #BBCPM #CNN
Remember when…
Conservatives used to scream
RUBY RIDGE!!
Like a battle cry
And claim federal agents couldn’t be trusted?

Note that this story was released early this morning.
New legislation *could* be written. We just need legislators who have the spine to do so.

Good for them.
Hey, #MAGA! Remember #RubyRidge? Remember when your worst fear was “jack-booted” Fed. agents “invading” middle America and arresting good, ordinary people? Isn’t that why you’ve felt the need to go to Starbucks with an AR 15 slung over your shoulder?
Yeah… About that…

Although members of these groups are not all racists, their alliance w/ #WhiteSupremacist militants & ideologues proves racism is not a deal breaker in their goal to overthrow the US gov. SOURCE: Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America by Kathleen Belew

The events of #RubyRidge are significant because they “codified an alliance of tax protestors, radical anti-abortionists, militiamen, racists, Identity Christians, survivalists, conspiracy theorists, and those who simply believed the U.S. government had grown too large.”

Weaver had a bench warrant for failure to appear on firearms charges. He refused to surrender; so did members of his immediate family & friend, Kevin Harris. Weaver’s wife, his 14-yr-old son and his dog were killed as was a US Marshal.

Helping to keep watch on authoritarian secret federal police? I fully expect the NRA to jump in to support this app. #RubyRidge #Waco
* No I don't
Exactly. It is. #Bundy #RubyRidge #Waco #3%ers #oathkeepers etc..
For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction? #Waco #OKC #MOVE #RubyRidge
Also, when was the last time ICE showed up for a raid with 6 people who are so cowardly that they RETREAT because of a crowd of citizens!!!!! NEVER, that would be NEVER.
#RubyRidge
They were known Aryans and preached white supremacy. There was an 18-month investigation. I don't agree with the means, but the end was for the best. The only thing I feel bad about is the dog. The US Marshalls killed his dog on purpose. That always bothered me

I was a producer in a Dallas TV newsroom; after covering #Waco and #RubyRidge and then #OKC, I stupidly thought we were through with fringe politics and far-right extremists.
I was so very wrong.
