Randy Weaver was a white separatist, a racist and a radical whose views were unpalatable to general society. In fact, most patriots would not have wanted to associate with him and his family. Their views were strange, and some of the people they associated with were even more unsavory in their views than the Weavers were. Patriots may not understand how someone who claimed to believe in liberty could honestly believe that one race is somehow better than another. One thing that patriots do understand, however, is that regardless of what Weaver’s beliefs were, he had the right to live in peace, and he did not deserve to have his son shot in the back or his wife’s head blown off on his own land at Ruby Ridge. Randy Weaver had the right to self-defense, and the government was wrong. Twenty-three years later, the horror of his story has not waned…and never will.
I made the statement several months ago that Anthony Bosworth’s case was much like Randy Weaver’s. I stand by that today, especially in light of his being found guilty yesterday of a so-called ‘crime’ that was nothing more than the exercise of his inherent 2nd Amendment rights in a way that the government decided it didn’t like. In fact, while a judge handed down his unconstitutional decision, others stood outside the courthouse openly carrying their own rifles on the exact same spot where Bosworth was arrested in February of this year. Bosworth was found guilty, while others stood outside and committed the same “crime.” There is a word for the whole situation, and it’s not justice.
