Okay, so I was NOT at Ruby Ridge. But some of the statements reek of
bovine exhaust and should be investigated with the same vigor a CHL holder
would be subject to!

To his defenders, Horiuchi–who has testified he could hit a quarter at 200
yards–is a consummate pro, honed as a military officer, burnished as a
leader of an FBI Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) sniper crew. "He was
dedicated, hard working, aggressive. He was trying to do the right thing,
trying to serve his country in a stressful environment,"
(unquote)
- If he could hit a quarter at 200 yards, then how did he shoot the wrong
person? If one of us were under attack by five buggers with guns and we
accidently shot the wrong person, we’d be lucky to be charged with
negligent homicide rather than murder.
- Horiuchi was in a stressful environment? How so? He could see his
targets. They (presumably) could not see him. Where’s the stress? If he
couldn’t handle being hidden, how would he handle being shot at by a bad
guy sniper? (Now THAT would be stress!)

A federal judge dismissed the case last year, ruling that "Mr. Horiuchi,
rightly or wrongly, was clearly acting under orders authorized by the U.S.
government to go shoot and kill an armed male adult because the threat to
human lives had already been determined by his supervisors based on the
facts then known to them."
(unquote)
- Horiuchi did not kill an armed male. Horiuchi killed a woman with a baby
in her arms. With his supposed skill and discipline, it is hard to call that “a
simple mistake”. Again, if it happened to a CHL holder he would be
crucified! Sarah Brady (the wicked witch) and her monkey army would be
all over the media calling for some CHL holder’s blood and the outlawing of
anything that goes “Bang!”.
- And the “Nuernberg” defense was deemed invalid both then and at My
Lai!

If true, it is an ironic legacy for a man who has dedicated his life to
defending that government.
(unquote)
“...Defending the government”? From unarmed mothers with a baby in
their arms? From a man who merely wanted to be left alone?
Using the same perverted logic, the German SS and Gestapo were just
trying “to clean up a little”.
-------
“Innocent until proven guilty” should not only apply to Horiuchi. The
government worked diligently to entrap Randy Weaver, lied to him, misled
him, prevented the local LEOs from going up there to talk with him, shot his
14 y/o son in the back, etc. also should answer for their questionable and/or
illegal participation.
These HRT units are supposed to be protecting people - NOT the
government! The units are valuable and necessary only so long as they do
not become “rogue” units endangering our citizens wrongly, without cause.
Even the most charitable government apologist would have to say the Ruby
Ridge affair was mishandled. Me, I think it was another Waco-style incident
- shameful, disgraceful, and unfortunately a trend.
We are ruled by an oligarchy who is creating “terror squads” who endanger
our citizens and defame our honest police efforts.
So there you go guys. I’m wearing my Nomex under this ankle-length
helmet - so flame away!
