What happens when distrust for the government meets misinformation, meets an ongoing investigation

into the area nations?

You get an 11-day standoff on Ruby Ridge between the federal government and a former Green

Barret, which led to casualties, more distrust, and a rise in anti-government militia and

radicals all across the United States.

Today we tell the story of Randy Weaver and his run-ins with the ATF, the US Marshals,

and eventually the FBI.

We'll discuss Weaver's beliefs, shed some light on the crimes he actually committed,

and take a look at how he was portrayed by the Feds, and the media.

This scary and tumultuous standoff may have ended on August 31, 1992, but the backlash and

repercussions stemming from this incident would be felt for years to come.

And over the next four weeks, we'll cover these tragic and deadly events.

I knew what had happened to her immediately.

I thought it was in for all of us at that point.
