"Brig Break"
by allmoviesfan2023-04-27
8/10

"By my count, Lieutenant Caitlin Pike (Andrea Parker) has appeared in as many JAG Season One episodes as President Clinton - two. Her second appearance and first since the pilot sees her teaming with Harm and Meg to foil a brig break at Seatac in the Pacific Northwest, where she is working as an intelligence officer. The three Navy officers work well together. There is plenty of action in this one - as has been the case with all the episodes so far - with a heck of a lot on the line, and things aren't exactly as they seem.

Kate asks Major Aspinal if he wants another Ruby Ridge. Ruby Ridge was the site of an eleven-day siege in 1992 in Boundary County, Idaho, near Naples. It began on August 21, when deputies of the United States Marshals Service (USMS) initiated action to apprehend and arrest Randy Weaver under a bench warrant after his failure to appear on firearms charges. Weaver refused to surrender, and members of his immediate family, and family friend Kevin Harris, resisted as well. The Hostage Rescue Team of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI HRT) became involved as the siege developed.

During the USMS reconnaissance of the Weaver property, six U.S. Marshals encountered Harris and Sammy, Weaver's 14-year-old son, in woods near the family cabin. A shootout took place. Deputy U.S. Marshal William Francis Degan, Sammy Weaver, and the Weavers' dog, Striker, all died as a result. In the subsequent siege of the Weaver residence, led by the FBI, Weaver's wife Vicki was killed by FBI sniper fire. All casualties occurred in the first two days of the operation. The siege and standoff were ultimately resolved by civilian negotiators. Harris surrendered and was arrested on August 30, while Weaver and his three daughters surrendered the next day.
