The Untold Story of Ruby Ridge with Survivor Sara Weaver

On this episode of GSL UNCUT, Melissa and Jeremy have an in depth conversation with Ruby Ridge Survivor, Sara Weaver. Sara is the oldest daughter of the Weaver family who were the focus of the events that took place during the 11 day standoff in North Idaho.

The siege that came to be known simply as Ruby Ridge occurred in August of 1992. The tragic series of events resulted in the death of Sara's 14 year old brother Samuel Weaver, her mother Vicki Weaver, and a US Marshall.

Sara's story is one of hope, faith and forgiveness. She serves as an incredible beacon of strength, resiliency, and perseverance. We hope you enjoy our conversation.

They murdered a 14yr old boy and a woman holding a baby. The shooters and their officers should be in prison to this day.

I met Randy Weaver at a gun show in Tulsa, Ok back in the early 2000, 's. I was there with my wife and kids and he walked up to me and complimented me on my family. I didn't recognize him for a brief minute but after I did, I realized that he had at one time had a beautiful family too. He made me realize that life is so fragile. It was a moment I will never forget. Thank you for sharing with us.

So happy you guys are willing to talk about the controversial topics. When Ruby Ridge occurred I was a Deputy Sheriff in Tarrant County, Fort Worth, TX and all I knew about the incident was what was being reported on the TV. Through my own research I came to the conclusion that what law enforcement did at that time would be an embarrassment to the profession. I always want to see and hear the other side of the story. She has become a very strong woman that I'm sure her mother would have wanted her to be. God bless her and you guys as well for bringing these stories out in the open. A story worth telling and in today's world it could happen to any of us.

My uncle was part of the ATF at the time. He was at Ruby Ridge. He was completely disgusted and to this day says that the government killed innocent people that day. He left the ATF less than a year after Ruby Ridge and joined the police force as a victim advocate. Those in the ranks know that leadership lied, covered-up, and failed that day.

This incident had a PROFOUND impact on me, (still does). In 2002 I applied for a position at a police department and during my final interview with one of the captains, this incident came into the conversation, and I made myself VERY clear about my views of corruption of power in law enforcement, and how I WOULD NOT be a “yes” man if I saw something that went beyond the intent of the constitution.
Thinking I’d essentially shot myself in the foot, I started making a plan to restart my job search. Much to my surprise, the next day they offered me the job!
I worked for that department for 21 years, and I can HONESTLY say that they never gave me any reason to be ashamed of it. Respecting the rights of the citizens was always the philosophy, and on the very few occasions that I challenged a supervisor for suggesting that I take steps beyond what I felt was ethical, I was always supported.

[tysonmendel]

For those of us in the gun community, constitutional community have never doubted the Weaver families innocence and the wrongs committed against them. No doubt.

[kmuno]

I have served on a federal jury and the trial I was on was a case of entrapment. The DEA agent got on the stand and lied for 3 days. He put a innocent family in harm’s way in the most literal way. It’s scary that this happens and in lots of cases they get put in prison. I’m happy to know that this family I’m talking about got justice

[scotth]

Awesome to hear Sara's story without media filters or editing! She is very inspiring!

[boujiatexas]

Thanks for letting her tell her story and not just talking over her. Great interview but still heartbreaking nonetheless

[chrispurse]

I did my final book report on this incident. I uncovered a lot of dubious crap that law enforcement did. This report was for one of my CJ classes. My instructor gave me an A+, but he was not happy about it because I shed light on how corrupt the law enforcement and the justice system was. Thanks for this video. Their daughter is a very strong woman.

[SerialSpinner-ss]

i remember very clearly when my husband and I heard on the radio (we didn't have a TV) news reports of the Ruby Ridge raid. We looked at each other and both of us knew that the media were lying about the Weavers. We were a homeschool family and identified with the Weavers in so many ways. Our hearts broke for this family. Thank you for telling this story!

[PSB-]

Thank you Sara for telling us the story in your own words. You are a strong woman. Melissa and Jeremy, thank you for letting Sara tell her story and asking the questions with such compassion. This is a testament to your character as God's children.

My “red pill” moment was the Ruby Ridge event and I joined many others in a great awakening to the evils our government is capable of.

[michaelharhala]

She hits the nail on the head early in her statements . Her parents were 30 years ahead of their time. Seeing what the government has turned into today.

[ChingoMandinguez]

I was 13 when the Ruby Ridge tragedy happened, and lived 20 miles from the Branch Davidian compound when it was raided. It's astonishing how the media portrayed these incidents, and looking back on them as an adult really shows the evil of the three letter agencies in our Gov't. What happened to the Weaver family was absolutely terrible.

[liatori]

Forgiving is not a feeling. At the end of the day, it is a choice. I love this.

[Thunderbird-]

I really looked into the Ruby Ridge incident when I saw the surveillance photo linked to an article called "American Pieta." And the photo was labeled "Vicki Weaver mourning the death of her 14 year old son after he was murdered by Federal Agents. Hours after this picture she would be killed."
The ATF has initiated so many Catastrophic Blunders that cost American Lives, and no success stories, I just don't know why they still exist. Frankly, none of the federal law enforcement organizations are constitutionally established. Now Every department in the FED has an Armed unit: IRS, FDA, Agriculture... WTH ?
This is what happens when the power shifts from the People to the Power Mongers.

[ronco]

Incredible, emotional and timely interview in light of the police state activities of today's FBI. My heart goes out to the Weaver family.

[tarazupon]

My father held many similar beliefs as the weavers when i was a child, im 52 now. I know exactly what she means when she says she thinks her parents were 30 years ahead of their time. I cannot believe how acurate my father was as i watch things unfold everyday. Its coming to pass so much quicker than i expected. Sometimes i get truly overwhelmed.

[TxNWmn]

After the death of William Cooper, and some years later, after that sad event took place... once my eyes began to open up to who the gooberment really is, I began to rethink the whole Ruby Ridge incident.
I really appreciate this interview, and hearing from someone who was actually there... broke my heart to see her trying to hold back the tears on more than one occasion; Sara having to revisit such traumatic and horrible nightmare of that day, just makes me want to hug her.

Not gonna lie, but whomever the coward was that took out the child and the dog... all I'm gonna say is: may God expose him like the noonday sun, in Jesus' Name.

Thank you folks for sharing this interview.
