It's backwards in this case. The neighbor is more akin to the city and what they would have done to Marvin had he won his case.
NOPE! This Wendigoon idiot is only interested in dumping on the Weaver family, and blaming them for what happened because of his personal beliefs of what a 'real Christian' should act like. Ironically, judging peoples faith based on your own preconceived notions is about as UNChristian as it gets.

Honestly no. If you as a parent have made your child think that their life is worth less then your own to where they would sheild you? You have failed as a parent. I dont give a shit what happens to ME my child should never put themselves in harms way for my sake. I am the parent it is my duty to protect them and ensure They survive not the other way around. It is also one of the reasons i refuse to see randy or his wife as any kind of innocent or Martyrs theese people had children with them and continued to drag this out knowing every hour this goes on those children are in more danger. If it meant My child could survive i would gladly walk out that door and surrender even if it means i possibly take a bullet a parent's duty should always be to the child Not to make some Defiant stand for the sake of my own ego

Only after seeing it for yourself and being at the mercy of politicians and bureaucrats do you realize how utterly wrong that belief is.

The most infuriating part, is like at Waco, no federal agents are EVER held accountable for their actions.
That's because they're sent there to send a message. It has zero to do with justice.

it rly stood out to me how emotional you got when describing Vicky's death. i felt that too, that was...really rough. take care of yourself my dude
The fact that his family died was 100% on the government. No matter how "bad" some might view Randy as, the sniper clearly saw his wife and decided to shoot, that was on the feds. Later in Waco the fact that the same sniper shot at fleeing people only confirms this. What a crazy situation.
Exactly Randy’s crimes were not that serious. He sold some short barrel shotguns and didn’t show up to a court date by mistake and then didn’t want to leave his house. There was no reason for them to do all that. It’s ridiculous. I can’t believe all this happened, our government is so corrupt.
Agreed. Randy made mistakes, but the consequences of those mistakes were his alone to bear. His family's blood is on the hands of that tyrannical band of federal thugs who have the gall to claim they protect us.
I definitely wouldn't put the bad in quotes. Dude was and is a white supremacist. But otherwise I agree with you

Maybe he'll just become a less intense version of that dream demon, since his crime wasn't nearly as heinous.
Instead of killing anyone, he just annoys people while they're dreaming so they don't sleep well.
Job interviewer: "i see you have one criminal charge: failure to appear in court, why was that?"
Randy: "...im the ruby ridge guy."
you keep forgetting him working for a neonazi terrorist group, making weapons for them after they had already killed somebody.
"I'm Randy Weaver, I worked for a neonazi terrorist group, tried to become their illegal gunsmith and brought the feds on my ass which got members of my family killed. I will blame everyone else for it though, because I have no accountability."
Thank you so much for talking about this. My names Aspenn Kennedy, im a U.S. Marine from Kila, Montana. I grew up close to Randy and loved him very much, albeit I was really young. Long after what happened, Randy eventually moved to Kila Montana and was my sisters neighbor for my entire childhood growing up. He was an incredibly sweet and funny man, and he was a HUGE Stephen King fan. Long before I ever learned about what he came from, he and I would talk about books we were reading and fishing. He decided to give me a chunk of his book collection that he had finished reading, and passed them to me in a plastic bag. I rattled through the books which were mostly horror novels (Almost entirely Stephen King) but content wise, scariest of all the books there was a copy of his book that he and his daughter wrote, "The Federal Seige of Ruby Ridge".
After I saw his name as author of the book, I read the whole thing in one sitting and revered, sort of feared, awed, questioned and respected him greatly from then on.
Like I said, he was a incredibly funny and sweet old man, but he was genuinely scary if you ever brought up ANYTHING government related. Understandably, he was traumatized BADLY by what happened, and this also understsndably full of hate. If you mentioned the government even as part of a passing joke, he was prone to suddenly changing personas on a dime and flinging into wild libertarian rants about how greatly he despised the government. He would cuss and share theories, and yell here and there and sometimes cry if he mentioned his wife or his boy, before hed settled down and suddenly go back to his peacful humerous nurturing self. Randy was also an outspoken atheist, which I - as a young libertarian atheist would come to passively reslly respect and appreciate much later on in hindsight. (My views obviously arent as cut and dry now as they were before however, as far as my libertarianism and atheism go, but I digress.) Outside of politics and religion, he was nearly identical personality wise to my grandpa, who was also a veteran like both of us and hanging out with Randy every weekend helped me cope with my own grandfathers passing IMMENSELY. Randy passed away a few years ago before he ever got to see me join the Marines. We are still regularly going to family events with his daughter and extended family, and we miss him a lot every day. Thanks for the video Wendigoon, I think Randy would have really enjoyed this video. Genuinely! All the love as always.
Semper Fidelis, Always Faithful
so you like hanging out with neonazis who worked for a neonazi terrorist group like Weaver? Is that the kind of people you surround yourself with? One more question: did Randy talk and explain what his neonazi buddies were about? You know - the guys whose values he shared? Or did he recognize that nobody likes neonazis? Did he omitt his past or is he proud of it?
“The government wouldn’t do that” The government in question:
The only thing the government wouldn't do is work competently
The Government: *Sweats nervously*
“Oh yes they would.”
“Yes, they would”
I mean its the same government who betrayed the natvies, enslaved people, fought a war to end the right of succession (that many pretend was to end slavery but Abe didnt give a damn about blacks), set up interment camps for their citizens during WW2, has carried out regime change.. what would make anyone think they wouldnt trample right over us?
"The next time that somebody tells you, 'The government wouldn’t do that.' OH YES THEY WOULD." - Wendigoon
The government has done many things. All for themselves. I hate that pessimism is a realistic mindset when it comes to government.

@@daltonlucas5529especially not to hide a monetary sinkhole they themselves caused!
One other thing to note is that SOMEONE(exactly who varies from telling to telling, sometimes it's a cop, sometimes it's the neighbor, sometime's it's the lawyer) told Randy that the government planned to forcibly seize his land and break up his family if he lost the trial. This was AFTER he had been entrapped, and AFTER the mailing screwup caused him to get in bigger trouble for missing his court date. It was only after this point(as he concluded that he was being conspired against and the trial would be rigged) that he refused further cooperation with the authorities and stopped contacting or responding to them.
According to this video, it seems it was his lawyer that told him this.
Wendigoon says this was a lie and Weavers lawyer was incompetent but I wouldn't be surprised if the court may have been threatening this after finding him a FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE for missing a SINGLE COURT DATE.
@@lifesparadox660 I was just pointing it out because a lot of people emphasis Weever's refusal to cooperate with police later as putting the fault for one happened on him.
That's not entirely wrong, but it's important to remember at this point he had had his neighbor spread a ton of libel and slander about him everywhere, he had been entrapped by one corrupt federal agent and then learned about it from a different agent, he had been given a bad court date and then made a fugitive for it, and now he's being told he'll lose all his land and his family even if he cooperates. Add that to the fact he was a little bit paranoid to start with and you can see why he didn't want to cooperate anymore.
@kalkuttadrop6371 And to add to that his initial arrest was performed by undercover cops pretending to be broke down right outside his property.
I see the point of Weaver being uncooperative, but the bigger problem to me is that the government, at every level and every turn seems to have preferred to sow distrust with Weaver and his family with lies and manipulation leading to the eventual outright confrontation. Performed of course with more deceitful tactics and disgrace.
I started tearing up along with you when you talked about the death of Vicky. Thank you for raising the mood with the loony toons robot

All because he had an unregistered sbr.

would have been funnier if it was the many parts in which Wendigoon tried to paint the Aryan Nations, a neonazi terrorist group as a harmless white supremacist club. Oh and Randy Weaver working for them even though he didn't need the money.
You forgot the craziest part of the whole story: When Weaver made the SBS for the agent, it was initially still above 18 inches. The agent then WENT BACK AND ASKED HIM TO MAKE IT SHORTER! That is quite literally entrapment.

Not entrapment at all, he could've not done it. If you ask someone to buy you beer because you're underaged you can't use the argument that you did it because they asked you could've just not done it. It's fucked up but that's the rules.
One critical piece you missed in your analysis: Randy Weaver did not cut down his own guns. Those two guns were given to him by that federal agent to do work on. Randy doesn't have a smithing or ffl license, so he wouldn't be held to the standard of a gunsmith in this action. This is entirely entrapment.
Yeah a lot of people tend to forget that, it’s easy to look over
Textbook entrapment
@@A_Caat There was no crime, entrapment is on the police, not the victim
I was bitching about that the whole time. The police literally put him in a situation he'd never had been in w/o their interference. The exact definition of entrapment. This case always pisses me off.
@A_Caat if your local police officer walks up to you with a bag of crack and says "here, sell this", is it right for him to arrest you when you sell it?
So the baby daughter just disappears from the story and is not even covered in the years following the aftermath? She must be like 32 now, how did she end up after all this?
and what does she think about her father working for a neonazi terrorist group, trying to become their illegal gunsmith, bringing the feds on his tail and getting her family members killed?
the argument that randy's stubborness lead to this and the death of his family is completely wrong way to look at the situation, he was a civilian, he was attacked without warning, his son and wife were killed for no reason at all and he was mocked, this was 100 percent a failure on the governments behalf, a civilian escalating is fine but if ur an agent and u escalate the whole system is retarded when u dont get punished for it
Randy Weaver willingly worked for the Aryan Nations, a neonazi terrorist group that had already killed at that point. He didn't do that out of necessity, he could have sustained his family on his farm alone. He tried to become the illegal gunsmith for this neonazi terrorist group. He called the feds response down on him. And of course the feds are trigger happy - who would have known? He got his family killed for neonazi views.

While Lon shot someone at Ruby Ridge and was also present at Waco, there's actually no evidence he shot anyone at Waco.

good point. Then it must be super non-problematic and legal to become the gunsmith for a neonazi terrorist group that had already killed somebody at this point. Do you like neonazis? :)
The fact these people can harass someone who has lived peacefully on their property for over a year, trespass said property, throw rocks at the family dog, shoot said dog, then shoot and kill a retreating 14 year old child in the back and STILL think themselves the good guys is baffling to say the least.
ACAB
The worst for me is Wendigoon saying "both sides", like, really?
The issue is that, the way the US system is set up, they are defending their side.
We got corporations, the government, and the agencies on one side, and civilians on the other. Basically civilians are only meant to generate resources for the top, and only obey. Don't ask questions, if you leave you're a traitor, if you disobey you're dispossessed (but still a citizen so they can enslave you via prison).
Ruby Ridge was supposed to be a tyrannical example. "Try to leave, this is what we'll do." The issue is nobody actually did their homework, so the feds had barely any reason to actually treat Randy as a traitor. Plus you need to ensure PR keeps the population thinking the government is on their side, and this entire indicent did none of that.
but he was racist or something !
@@thepraetorian2368he didn't say anything of the sort though. All he said was that he thought Randy was a bad person but he and his family did not in any way deserve what happened to them.

So glad we got a follow up video from the Waco incident. I wanted to know the event and looked into it, but even looking into it there were things in this video I missed. Besides, any story told by Wendi is a good one.
especially if Wendigoon bends over backwards to paint neonazi terrorist groups like the Aryan Nations in a positive light. And the people who work for them like Randy Weaver.
I just wanted to day I am using this video and the waco vid on red thread to do an analysis of the social contract in my eng 11 class so thank you wendigoon. I really appriciate the fact that u upload so much and put so much research into the vids.
did your class ask you if your brain melted? And that you are desperate to paint neonazis in a positive light? Weaver worked for a neonazi terrorist group. That's what got the feds on his tail.
What the FBI did was extremely reckless, but what the Marshalls did was legitimately unhinged. Lied in their reports, invaded his property, mass surveillanced him, then went in, killed a dog and a child, ran away, and then didn't tell the FBI what actually happened. Insane
And never held accountable. No one. This is ridiculous. 1992 and here we are 2024 still people getting their dogs shot over making the mistake of putting a stock on a pistol. I had a buddy who worked in an FFL and said he would see foregrips on pistols (AR/AKs) or braces having blocks or "split fix" in the opening. He would have to tell dozens of people take it outside and remove X part or you're facing a felony and so are we.
They were tied to terrorists, they helped terrorists. While the child and wife and their dog didn't deserve to die, what happened happened, and randy was violent and probably would have done something stupid

So fun fact (and my personal connection to Randy Weaver): at one point he was at my hometown's bar, ranting on about how Lincoln should have "sent the slaves back to Africa" and my dad, who was at the bar, turns over and goes "Randy, could you just shut the fuck up?"
And it did.
So yeah, my dad got Randy to shut up lol
I like that Wendigoon uploads an hour an 50 minute long video and my brain goes "Oh, a SHORT upload today, eh?"
yeah he could have forced way more neonazi apologia into this one. Aryan nations - they just came together to bake cookies, right? Totally normal.
The fact that the FBI killed Randy’s 14 year old son and then shot his wife in the head in his door, then tried to slap him with charges, is insane. Haven’t you punished him enough? You simply attacked his family with no announcement, killed two of them, and then tried to pin this whole situation on him.

Always appreciate your perspective, looking forward to seeing the increased upload frequency!
so you like him painting neonazi terrorists in the best possible light? Bit weird I must say...
You left out that Randy didn't want to make illegally short shotguns and the agent basically tricked him into cutting the barrels 1/4 of an inch too short. And then a sniper "missed" at relatively close range and hit Vicky in the head, a woman he supposedly was not aiming at.
Police or any agent shouldn’t be allowed to initiate and or encourage someone to take illegal actions they are allowed to lie and use any low down tactics to get a confession but a citizen lies to a fed it’s a felony it’s BS of the highest order. All the while our presidents leave military equipment for the taliban and give arms to drug rings in Mexico importing fentanyl killing our children and citizens in an act of war.
He did mention that the short barrel shotgun charge was thrown out in court as _entrapment._
@@RealExtraCheese Yes, but it's actually worse than that. it wasn't just entrapment in that they asked him to break the law. He was trying to cut them short but at the minimum length and the officer tricked him into cutting them off just 1/4 inch too short.

Had the local police been there, this might not have happened.

The government read “the tyrants blood will flow” as “intent” which is funny because it would imply the government recognizes itself as the “tyrant”
I mean, (figure of authority) blood will flow, addressed to the government, by known “associates” of a group known for terrorism, who sold illegally modified weapons to a federal agent, in regards to a court order.
I know the result was terrible and the government is incompetent, but Jesus Christ that has to one of the most incriminating things I’ve ever heard an innocent person write. It’s like saying “I’m bout to blow up this plane” when you have explosive diarrhea and are running for the restroom.

Wouldn't it just be crazy if the government did something to resemble that and consistently justify Randall's paranoia...

I just found this channel & have now subscribed and binged every episode rlly manifesting more frequent uploads plz Wendigoon this is all I have 🤞🏼
Lindsay here wants to hear more of the courageous neonazi Randy Weaver who was just the victim and his friends the Aryan Nations who are totally not a neonazi terrorist group.
As a Infantry veteran, who joined out of a sense of duty and patriotism. Who loved his country and overlooked all the shady stuff it did, because overall the good outweighed the bad.
But as I continue maturing, and as I got out of the military, I realize the world isn’t this perfect place in America isn’t always sunshine and rainbows .
Over my sentiment towards the American government has shifted drastically .
I really wish I could go back to being the guy who joined the army because he loved his country and wanted to fulfill his duty to it because life was so much easier back then seen only the good.
Now I feel cynical, worn out and tired of the world . I quite clearly talk with my spouse about moving away from everything and Levine, a self sustain lifestyle when she retires.
With stories like Ruby Ridge, it doesn’t help me out of my cynical mindset. It just gives me confirmation.
Yeah, I don’t really like a lot of the stuff the guy did or believed, but that still doesn’t change the fact that three federal government agencies we miss handled the situation to the point of death .
And then Waco happened.
I really wish they would take accountability because then in my mind, I could say yeah abuse and horrific protocols were used and possibly some homicidal agents. But they took responsibility and they’re clearing house.
But now they temporally demote, one guy, and everyone gets a little slap on the wrist. They move on receive retirement and don’t have to think about it anymore their view as heroes who serve their country. Disgusting.

Bro, they literally shot his wife in the head and his son in the back while invading his property without announcing themselves, both of which were done right in front of him, and his only compensation for that was $100,000. He's got every right to be pissed off. I'd be too.

@@NovasIridia Before the govt siege, when did they directly hurt anyone?
I honestly thought you were doing a rehash of a previous Ruby Ridge episode... but what happened was that I watched the Waco video and then I watch the Ruby Ridge related content... and those two content just blended together for me.
The trauma those kids had to go through is inconceivable. To know your brother was shot and then to have the body of your mother just be in the kitchen of your house, decomposing for 9 days and to hear on a megaphone 'Vicky, what did you have for breakfast?' Like yo.
Justice has not even remotely been served in this case.
I was thinking the same thing….absolutely terrible
And it's amazing the government will never, under any circumstances, hold themselves accountable.
It’s unforgivable and they did it again in Waco, except this time they not only let a large conglomerate of women and children burn alive along with many other crimes but afterwards posed for photos with the corpses and mocked them in death.
The only consequences for these heinous acts was OK city, which harmed people that weren’t connected with either incident besides being a part of the bureaucracy. There were protests and negative public sentiment but nothing of real substance. It’s a shame, it was a perfect time for a massive populist movement to curtail federal power and keep incidents like this from occurring again.
Imagine if it happens now? The media will have the spun narrative out before the raid even occurs. Hell, the netflix documentary on Waco is just pure propaganda justifying the massacre.
@@FormerGovernmentHumanthere was literally tefotmed mad. There is a reason you are not hearing about a incident like this the last deacde

I had no knowledge of this event. Thank you for giving a great narrative
I like how Horiuchi said the second shot was a miss then goes to his hotel and draws a stick figure depiction of it hitting somebody..
That some sociopathic behaviour right there.
Ikr, also how do you get an accidental “gamer shot” while aiming to hit a guys side behind that head…? He’s either the greatest marksman ever or he lyin
There is a reason why many anti government groups to this day are willing to pay good money for confirmation of his whereabouts. I’m sure it’s only for research purposes.
@charliecharlie9042 Yeah, he was literally a professional sniper and was at relatively close range and the target was not moving, who he hit square in the head. That was not a "whoops, I missed" that was a murder.
Don't forget that Horiuchi was also at Waco and is believed to have been shooting from the number one sniper position when they had no reason.
The butterfly effect is crazy.
It all started because a neighbor falsely reported him out of spite. Maybe WACO and the bombing would’ve never happened if the neighbor hadn't done that.
No kidding, that’s a crazy but interesting thought
The flap of a butterflies wing's in the Amazon can cause a tornado in Texas. Awesome reference, incredible insight 🤘

"It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you"

Textbook case.
The fact even NCIS had an episode where that was the whole gimmick, and implied investigative agencies can be at odds with each other. How that show got away with such a slanderous message is wild
As in, I'm glad they got it on air and in reruns, and can't believe the CIA or someone hasn't forced them to delete it.

A: Walk up to the house while still being cautious and identify who you are and asking the home owner to answer a few questions
B: Show up in military gear, shoot a boy and his dog for no reason, and have a shoot out over a shotgun and a misunderstanding
The ATF: hmmmm I’m gonna go with B
You forgot that B includes setting up spy cameras and watching the family for months
@@apache8795 Surveillance isn't inherently a bad thing. If they were going to go serve him a warrant or even just interview him, they did need to know what they were getting into.

I just wanna say thank you for your voice and bringing all the facts to these cases. You show both side of the coin.
Horiuchi is an actual monster. I’d say I hope he’s burdened with guilt, but let’s be real, he probably feels nothing.
Actual monster
Wendigoon mentioned that he was also at the Waco massacre. Why is that? I'll tell you why: Horiuchi is an assassin. He's used by the feds to kill civilians they don't like. Simple as. That's why he shot Vicky in the head and why almost no one survived Waco. He's probably proud of that shot. In fact I saw an agent who was at both Ruby Ridge and Waco (wow what a fucking coincidence!!!) call that a great shot. Lied about the trajectory too.
@@collinchristensen7405meds buddy, that 2nd half got a little rando
@@user-zf5ft2bg5s That it was intentional? No I assure you dude these people did this on purpose. They're assassins. Literally assassins. The same people that were at Ruby Ridge, were at Waco, were at OKC. Look up operation PATCON. The feds were intentionally targeting white Christian militia movements. They were trying to turn Randy into an informant to infiltrate the covenant, the sword, and the arm of the lord. Which they already had informants in. Randy was entrapped and they tried to make an example out of him when he refused.
@@user-zf5ft2bg5sthe same guys who did R.R. did Waco and OKC. Look up operation PATCON.

My country needs to get rid of the RCMP. Whenever I hear anything about them, it's always about some act of corruption, negligence, incompetence or some combination of those. They're absolutely worthless.
Feds gonna fed.
They want to kill you as well if you begin to disagree with them or threaten their power. Remember, the federal government is recording every phone call, every text message, every email, all your internet activity, everything. Edward Snowden leaked this information. We’ve moved so far from the Constitution it’s not even funny.
Watched your video about Waco which led me to this one about Ruby Ridge. Your research and presentation is excellent and I am interested to see your take on Bundy Ranch and how it led to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and even more shenanigans by the HRT.
Thanks for making such a a complete video on this.
Its crazy that people like Horiuchi are out there enjoying life like nothing happened.
The wrong agent lost his life that day for sure.
@@marocat4749wasn’t the agent that was shot most likely the guy that shot Randy’s son?
I served in the military. One of the biggest reasons for jumping the chain of command is because your immediate leadership has completely lost it and desperately needs a reality check.
If you're being given unlawful orders, watching wild assumptions made on bad intel, and then given an ROE that is essentially a green light to slaughter wholesale without offering surrender or identifying your force you 100% know that your leadership is certifiably insane, needs to be removed, and you don't have to follow their orders until the situation is resolved. It's no longer a question. It's not even remotely debatable but any form of rational metric.
One of two things happened: 1) The gov't green lit the slaughter of that family and wanted them dead, and everyone involved in the operation was a knowing party to it.
2) Every person involved in the operation did not have the intelligence or moral fiber necessary to assess the situation and act rightfully, morally, or ethically.
I don't see a third option that explains the behavior.
