- Shortly before dawn on August 21, 1992, six heavily armed U.S. marshals made their way up to the isolated mountaintop home of Randy and Vicki Weaver and their children on Ruby Ridge in Northern Idaho. Charged with selling two illegal sawed-off shotguns to an undercover agent, Weaver had failed to appear in court and law enforcement was tasked with bringing him in. The standoff that mesmerized the nation would leave Weaver injured, his wife and son dead, and some convinced that the federal government was out of control.
Watch this extended preview from RUBY RIDGE, a riveting account of the event that helped give rise to the modern American militia movement.

FYI, he got a letter from the courts that he was supposed to come on a different date than what he was scheduled to go. He wasn't evading arrest...
How do you know that?
*Where's chapter 2 ????*
Exactly. This video is trying to portray Mr. Weaver as a major criminal that for what he deserved. Even if he did refuse to go to court. That isn’t a reason to send snipers and a platoon of agents with kill on sight orders. Which is what happened.
@@scottybaker13 atf agent under cover in Aryan brotherhood not police they're is difference.
@@jbrown1971 Totally right. I have learned more since them. I will delete that. After that, correct me if I am wrong, an F.B.I agent then asked him to be an informant and he declined. Then the A.T.F. decided to go ahead and file the gun charges against him because he didn't want to be any part of that. And the A.T.F. ask him to file those barrels just SLIGHTLY shorter than legal. Deleted other post. Thanks.
A totally biased report -- Randy Weaver himself says they only attended ONE Aryan Nation meeting, didn't like their tenor or philosophy, and didn't go back. This is mischaracterization and untruth.
PBS is propaganda
Why didn’t he just comply with the authorities to begin with? Sarcasm by the way for Anyone has the right to question authority no matter their background.
FBI MURDERED THE WEAVERS because they just wanted to live free there own way nobody had to be killed
@@lissaC.W. they entered his property and shot his son. They hold up in the cabin and then the wife was shot without a weapon. Would you believe your safe and drop your weapon?
@@carlitoswayp.r.1920 I don’t think you get my comment. What happened to this family was horrible and it shouldn’t have happened. I just often see a hypocrites who like to to support cops and the justice system no matter what happens. But then they are quick to turn around and also demand justice if it was a family they liked, or could relate to. Now I’m saying this to bash law enforcement, my husband is a cop but he too has been begging for police reform for extremely long time. He is all for cop always wearing body camera on at all times. Because it protects them from any false accusations being thrown, also unfortunately there are bad apple out there that have no business in any form of law enforcement. They are the ones that make all cops look bad. I myself studied criminology for years and hav e seen cops be falsely accused or horrible come who cross way over the line. There should be more screening and testing and there should be a psychological exam and provide assistant e at all time if some one pass. My husband and are just blown away how many more were able to become cops. I worry about my husband and also innocent civilians who do happen to have a horrible encounter with a cop does need to be exposed. Some will seriously develop a god complex when gets a gun and a unformed.
Glad she survived to tell the real story
Randy was on a team with a friend of mine. I met him twice and briefly talked to him about RR.
When people say "It can't happen here!" Like Nazi Germany, USSR, China, etc. this is one of the episodes I point out, that yes it can.
Head on over to Redoubt news channel on UA-cam. Randy himself says he would've made one hell of a Nazi
Your right
Like project 2025.
and then there came Waco...
McVeigh evened the score.
@@jimmywells33 i read in the newspaper, that mcveigh said that part of his motivation in bombing is that while he was in the mideast, he bombed lots of babies over there. so, he made his point. and he went to his death without blinking an eye. he did believe in his cause.
a hero for killing babies in a foreign country. a criminal for killing babies here.
Different situation.
Exactly, we the American people where furious after these murders by the ATF. Janet Reno, the Clinton Crime Family needed a better story for the ATF. So they went for the Branch Dividians, they needed a feel good story of "saying the children".
@@ethanweeter2732 yeah I agree very different a lot child molestation and abuse occurred in Waco and surviving parents will admit that.
Just a family a livin. Trying to mind their own business. From what i gather, the children where quite happy
@John Eric well said 👏
But Hollywood and the scribes of the Same Old Order has to smear the memories of those innocent ppl massacred by murderous scum in uniform. Did the same to the ppl in Waco too.
Until the Clintons stepped in...
Why is PBS lying about him evading court?
It's PBS - state sponsored and tax payer funded propaganda conduit. Question everything.
Hold on... What started this is a federal agent inbeded in his church knows he needs money and offers to pay him to cut down some shotgun barrels.
It wasn't Randy's idea. That is entrapment. Government should have paid way more than $3 million.
Tried to get away from government instability and intrusion, and yet the government came anyway to show them whose the boss. Unbelievable. Even shot their poor dog, a beautiful golden lab.
A mutt can easily be replaced compared to the loss of one's dear young son...
ua-cam.com/video/FjoemE6QvxU/v-deo.html
Stryker is their Dog's name! NOT Easily replaced!
I'm so sorry about what happened to this beautiful family.
*Where is chapter 2 ??????????????*
@@whatservicetojoin8593 check it out on the Wikipedia page. Pretty sure the real facts can be found there.
@@THEREDRAJ Wikipedia? REAL FACTS?! That was the best thing I've read all day. Thanks for the laughs!
I'm not sorry
Always remember, if someone approaches you to commit a crime, they are government agents most of the time.
And clean dress shoes
"If you want a confrontation with it" all he wanted was to be left alone.
Remember there is No Escape from the Left.
I’m here because I just found out Randy Weaver died recently. May his family have peace and may he have peace for what this government did to him so sad for his wife, child and dog. Diversity is not tolerated only the narrative is tolerated and they push the narrative as if it equals diversity when it actually equals the lack of any diversity.
Why does this "documentary" lie about Weaver refusing to go to court?
They told Randy Weaver the wrong court date on his paperwork so he missed court because of THEIR paperwork error.
Zachary Moses they wanted to paint a “ reason” for the assault to happen and make them look bad. Probably to try and paint them as monsters so people wouldn’t care if they died. No public outcry
Slowly erode away the truth so eventually there is nothing left but lies. If they were to break down every aspect of it at once they would be challenged, change it slowly and people hardly notice it happens at all.
They told him to come to court on a Saturday! Court wasn't even open! Come Monday they descended into his property for "evading court" that he couldn't have attended.
Pffft refusing to do that? Oh yeah someone gives you the wrong date so not coming on time is refusing to come at all. Utter incompetence
So, they lived like my parents did. And many other grandparents.
Beautiful couple with great kids
This is what happens when you give a slow learner a badge
Nobody with a badge ordered in all that military equipment… That was somebody that was elected putting people with badges in jeopardy
@@hellodollyseniorvisitsandd4982 the badges still obeyed unlawful orders
We live under a regime that believes no one has the right to live off the land with minimal to no responsibility to the government. In other words the government claims "pay us our pound of flesh" which is in direct conflict with one simple word... Freedom. Conquering and surrounding land then forcing tribute is in no way any excersize in freedom, but rather, just the opposite. The only way tribute payment is validated is when the parties wanting protection for themselves by a government is agreed upon by those willing to pay tribute for protection occurs. The Ruby Ridge people did not want tribute for protection. It was their choice to not desire outside protector over freedom. From what I Know of this it is the true understanding. It was trynany by force that began the pound of flesh ideals without caring what people seeking full freedom wanted. I do believe in accepting government assistance is what most people want, but that does not allow forcing those who do not want that to have their freedom infringed upon.
Well I don't know all the details of the case but it is difficult to imagine that they truly were living in a pocket world and not using government provided benefits, such as roads and a national military, to name a few, to ensure that their lands are safe from foreign armies. I realize that many would believe that they (and their families) are kept safe purely due to their own resourcefulness, but the reality is that you, and whatever private militia you may belong to, are simply no match for a military conquering force. Never forget that it is your nation that keeps you safe and allows you your lifestyle. In conclusion I simply don't think its fair to enjoy theses huge govt benefits yet don't have to pay your fair share.
*Where's chapter 2 ??????*
@Shawn Clifton @shawn. Not to take anything away from the American Revolutionaries and what they accomplished, the simple reality was that they simply could not have won independence without French military support. George Washington and Benjamin Franklin knew this all too well.
TheLegendaryBlackBeastOfArgh so what makes you think we wouldn’t have the support of the military and police? Sure there would be a lot that wouldn’t be on our side but the majority would. The ONLY reason for our government is to protect our country. That is it. It didn’t used to be called the federal government. It was the central government. But sadly we have allowed the government to grow so large the only way to stop it is to revolt against it. We are living through tyranny right now. We are still the greatest country on earth but all great powers have fallen. We aren’t immune. And it is coming. Faster than people think.
@@whatservicetojoin8593 PBS will let you watch it for a fee. $ makes the wealthy.
"...so close to the Aryan nation compound...." 16 miles away is close? Weaver left the Aryans...
60 miles
Close look at the names of the people who wrote and directed this documentary
Zionists?
Goldbergblatzsteinowitz?
J3vv’$
@@thrutheveil74 Okay what do Zionists have to do with this and why do you guys think that Jews are behind this
@@easternempire2330 Jews are normal people why do you think they are after you
It doesn't matter what their beliefs were , not the governments business . If the government was so " Right " about what happened then why did they settle the lawsuit ??????
This is what the beast the right hand of satan will do just because you don't want to play their game
More like the democratic left arm

My top ten list of events that shocked America.
1. 9/11
2. JFK Assassination
3. Pearl Harbor
4. Oklahoma City Bombing
5. Waco
6. MLK Assaination
7. Columbine
8. Jonestown Massacre
9. Rodney King Beating/ OJ Simpson Trial
10. Ruby Ridge/Hurricane Katrina
Would you agree?
I would add RFK We were suspicious in 63, confirmation came in 68. Everyone knew a conspiracy was at work when a second tower was hit, but not a second Kennedy? Perhaps we need a top 25.
How many were gov. planned, don't forget Malcom X 2 weeks after his speech, that liberal democrats were the greatest threat to the black people, was assassinated.
Interesting that one of the FBI agents compared the US Government's power to Thomas the Tank Engine; once you get him rolling, it's gonna be hard for him to stop
where is gerry spence , randy weavers defense attorney . why wasn't he on this program ? i never give a thin nickel to support pbs.
I don't see part 2 but everything will be OK with this nice modest little family out in the woods, right guys?
Oh yes it is nice to see a well adjusted family 😊
Never trust the ATF after Ruby Ridge. The American public was furious after those murders. So the ATF need a story of "saving the children". They saved them alright. Fucking savage Reno and the Clinton administration will burn in hell like they burned those people alive.
R.I.P to Weavers
Great narrator 💯👍🍿
I feel Vickie knew what she was talking about, it’s coming true right now, but no one wanted to listen to what Mrs. Weaver has to say. Prayers for Mr. & Mrs. Weaver and Samuel.
I would love to live there we live secluded and off grid but in desert
Weaver Beaver should have went to Court 😮 ! OBVIOUSLY 🙄
The consequences will be handed down to those murderers
So WEAVER very close! 6:28
My best friend lived at the bottom of the mountian. . . So scary for the children!!! That bridge is where we were dropped off on the bus!
Now them law man straight.kid killers ain't they
What was the reasoning that started the ruby ridge conflict? What and why was randy weaver wanted to start with? It is difficult to fathom that Randy Weaver would have wanted to begin any conflict. But, a police officer desiring to impose his will and control certainly makes sense, as it is a prevailing mindset taught to police officers even unto today's standard. This is an unfortunate instruction tactic, although slightly somewhat understandable, buy it disregards humans rights concerning freedom.
Your friend = google
A disgruntled neighbor made false accusations against him wanting to assassinate people.......followed my extreme Gov overreach.
So the gummitup had to go out in the woods and put a stop to this child and mom from gardening and stopped they were...bulletholes in their unarmed bodies...
All a psycho- logo-kill operation imo...
Why has the full documentary been removed? Not even available in the app
Idk they gave him a date of March in the mail and it was February so he didn't know there was a warrant
It was so remote that one must ask. Why did the police continue tresspass the family?
Where's the rest of the chapters?
I have had a lot of respect for PBS in the past but it's on record on .gov that his Parole Officer gave him the wrong court date. Why continue to pretend the narrative was that he was evading arrest? Unless there is documentation of that? If not, this needs to be amdended in the beginning of the video immediately and whoever is narrating the "armed to the teeth" part also
whre's the chapter 2?
Jesus is coming soon
Amen and hurry!
Is the state sponsored propaganda going to cover this in a fair and balanced manner?
Why did conservatives ever support blue lives matter, when conservatives should use methodological individualism.
The mountain of Yahweh is the House of Yahweh Micahyah 4:1-4, Isayah 2:2. He was persecuted because he was calling in the name of Yahweh and trying to keep the Feast of Yahweh
He did what any man would have done the FBI fucked up plain and simple he should have took many more with him like they took his son and wife my question is does the family still own the land r who owns it now
Was Barr involved in this?
Yes....from what I read several years ago, he ultimately refused to press charges against any federal officers, including the sniper...
Bye
Look at the Swastika
Why not join the Amish?
Can you believe the feds are after the Amish !!
Ur next
Sounds like my brother had a history of domestic violence and a drug addict pointed an AK 47 AND well threatened my life
This is nothing like your brother.
God bless weavers it was all misunderstanding
I love how they say arm to the teeth. The guy had some fucking hunting rifles. For God's sake, he didn't even have any tactical weapons assault weapons. None of that
What does Richard butler have to do with this PBS? Way to add your propaganda like always
If i was him i would not want white supremacist supporting me or at least support me and save that agenda for another day lol
He was a white supremacist himself. I don't agree with what the officials did here, but one less nazi is still one less nazi.
@Anonym Anonymsson nah. Just anti nazi 🤷
@@Locohappy he wasn't a NAZI
@@jeremyheintz1479 yea I guess. One less white supremacist is still one less white supremacist 🤷
