Want a feel-good story? Look elsewhere. Want a story that involves crimes committed by the federal government, white supremacy, murder, and robots with shotgun arms? You're in the right place.
Elizabeth and her fiancé (!!!) sit down for a discussion on the events at Ruby Ridge in the early 90's. Part one of this series is focused on the Weaver family's history and provides context on the political and social climate surrounding the family.
