Charges Dismissed in Ruby Ridge Case
BOISE, Idaho - A federal judge on Thursday dismissed an involuntary
manslaughter
charge against an FBI sharpshooter for the death of white separatist
Randy Weavers
wife during the siege at Ruby Ridge.
U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge ruled that Lon Horiuchi was acting
within the
scope of his authority and was honestly discharging his duties when he
fired the shot
that killed Vicki Weaver on Aug. 22, 1992.
The U.S. Justice Department decided in 1994 against prosecuting
Horiuchi, or any of
his FBI superiors and reaffirmed the decision last year.
1 It was NOT a jury which made the determination Horiuchi was acting
within the scope
of his authority, but a FEDERAL JUDGE.
2 The Justice Department did not prosecute FBI agents
FASCISM - a political and economic movement, strongly nationalistic,
magnifying the rights
of the state as opposed to those of the individual, in which industry,
though remaining largely
under private ownership, and all administrative political units, are
controlled by a strong central
government.
Morales and I were unable to meet on Thursday. Today we will study the
docket sheets view at
http://www.jya.com/whp-10usca.htm today. And open the letter I received
from EEOC Inspector
General Office.
The above Ruby Ridge article emphasizes the importance of a jury trial
in matters of federal
government misconduct. http://www.jya.com/whp043098.htm
This matter should get settled before it gets WORSE.
Later
