"The Federal Assault on Ruby Ridge - The Story of a Government Run Amuck" "Federal officers murder 14 year old & his mother" As many of you know I am active in the battle to bring about an informed people in NH - "For only an informed people can hope to retain - and be worthy of - that freedom with which this nation has been blessed." Some of you may have heard Bo Gritz and me on WLVU during Bo's NH visit and appearance at the Clarion Hotel. On Friday, August 21, 1992, Federal officers shot and killed 14 year old Samuel Weaver on Ruby Ridge in the mountains of northern Idaho. The following day a sniper from the same group of officers shot his mother, Vicki Weaver, in the head, killing her. On August 26, Jack McLamb, a retired Phonenix police officer, private investigator and publisher of "Aid & Abet", a police officers' newsletter dealing with Constitutional issues, went with presidential candidate, Bo Gritz, to assist in the negotiation to end the situation without further loss of life. McLamb told the entire story in an interview with Carl Wigglesworth of San Antonio Radio Station WOAI. Exerpts form the interview follow: Describing the attack on the 14 year old Samuel, he says, "On seeing these masked men killing his dog, he took a shot at (them). Then they returned fire, shooting Samuel in the left arm. He spun around, dropping his weapon and started running back towards Kevin. He ran past Kevin and they shot him four times in the back and he fell dead." The next day, Saturday, August 22, 1992, as Kevin Harris, Randy Weaver and his 16 year old daughter, Sarah, attempted to visit the body of Samuel, Randy was shot in the arm by a sniper. The three of them dashed back to the cabin. McLamb continues, "Vicki, the mother, is holding 8 month old Elishaba who she was just presently nursing before she heard the shooting...She holds the door open for (them). As Kevin runs past her, Vicki is shot in the head with a .308 heavy rifle - a sniper rifle - and falls dead and drops little Elishaba out of her arms." What kind of violent, criminal, terrorist activity caused such a violent response by Federal Officers? The fact is: eighteen months earlier, Randy Weaver had been indicted on a misdemeanor Federal firearms charge, a charge which McLamb says was the result of entrapment. Randy Weaver allegedly sold a rife to an undercover agent with a seventeen and three-quarter inch barrel - one-quarter of an inch shorter than federal regulations. For this horrendous crime he lost his wife & son and received a crippling wound. To obtain information on the full one-hour interview send a $1 contribution to: F.R.E.E.
