Hey,

I'm just doing some digging around about a group called the weavers have posted up here about it already and came across some guy called Randy Weaver from someone suggesting that he may have some connection?? Now I'm not sure about this and have only found a bit about him and wandered if anyone else had any other leads about him or his story.

I'm from the UK and don't recall much about the story and was hoping some of you guys could help??

I think his story is the one used in the movie Fire In The Sky.
It may still be out for rental in some areas or online.

I'd try Google.

haha my teacher is called andy weaver, dunno about randy though

I agree with Jaylemurph. Google would probably be a good place to look. I can't say I've ever heard of the guy.

Randy Weaver? Yeah I know Randy Weaver.

That SOB owes me 50 bucks. I f you find him, tell him I want my money.

Ruby Ridge.

Harte

The Feds shot and killed his wife and teenage son in a stand off on Ruby ridge.

Randy Weaver was (and probably still is) a notorious Anti-Semite and I reject and repudiate his views completely. I regard Anti-Semitism as entirely evil.

However, Federal agents surrounding Randy's cabin at Ruby Ridge shot and killed Randy's wife (who was NOT wanted) as she held her infant son in her arms. The shot also killed to baby. (Weaver and his surviving children were eventually awarded a great deal of cash by the United States Government.)

Evil + Evil = Greater Evil.

P. S. The Feds later PROMOTED the shooter.

I believe the baby was uninjured.

that's Travis Walton.. (iirc)

jeez, Nee Nuh.. just what kind of dastardly hybrid IS that??? (your avatar)

TY. Maybe it will stick if I think to myself John-Boy was abducted by aliens.

i always knew he was too darn nice & polite to be human..
(nice to see somebody else remembers the Waltons)

Thanks for all your help, I have read about him already and am pretty sure he's not connected to the group of Weavers but you never know unless you check these things out. I just wandered if anyone else might have some more info on him than what I've found.

And thanks for reminding me of the Waltons, I'd completly forgotten about that show (although that was probably a good thing)

Are you certain? I remember news clips of picketers carrying signs reading "Baby-Killers!!!" and "How Many Kids Have You Killed Today?" following the incident.
