The case of LaVoy Finicum, the rancher who was gunned down in Oregon last year, may have disappeared from the main stream press, but you can be sure that it is still a hot topic in rural America where they see it as a clear cut case of murder by government authorities. The situation embarrassed local and federal authorities as farmers and ranchers continued their protest against government overreach and land theft, which was carried in national newspapers for weeks on end.
The end result was that Finicum, one of the leaders in the debacle, advised officials that he was going to the next town to meet with the sheriff there. County sheriffs have tremendous jurisdiction over the area that they oversee, and that would have been a problem for law enforcement and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team which was on site. Enroute to the meeting, Finicums truck was forced off the road into a snow bank, Finicum got out of the truck with hands raised, then tried to approach officers with his hands held wide, but was gunned down in cold blood there in the snow. There is both helicopter footage as well as a cell phone record of the incident, and it is causing some major concerns among law enforcement and the FBI.

It was murder…no question. I saw it.
CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS IN THIS COUNTRY IS JUST SHAMEFUL…, LOOK AT THE HEROIN EPIDEMIC IN NH ALSO???
Wow most of you are right wing nut jobs…
I bet most of your are “preppers” and are part of your own militia…LOL boys with toys
They DID open fire! Remember Waco and Ruby Ridge!
You are a left wing nut job
You will get justice finally and the Obama Administration going down and it’s about time that all Americans had to endure
I saw the video and he was murdered by the feds..just like Ruby Ridge and WACO
All the same things being said to defend the victim here have been said countless times in other circumstances where government agents murdered citizens. Every single one of them, from “so he deserved to get shot when he got out of the truck with his hands up” to “he was in line with the constitution of the United States”.
I know some of you will disagree, but you would be wrong and you know it, deep down.
This man was a victim of the violence that is government, a government that would rather kill a person than lose 100% control. All of the people that have been NEEDLESSLY murdered by the government, meaning they were not pointing a gun and threatening to kill someone immediately before their deaths, are victims of the SAME thing. It is NO different. Not in the least bit.
Be pissed this guy got killed, and be pissed about all the others as well.
It’s a lie
He is kind of busy right now fighting all sides who are against him, but I agree this should be brought to attention and dealt with properly. He may not even know what happened. I’m hoping so much for the Bundy’s and other to be released, and this murder of Mr Finicum to have the proper investigation and justice it deserves.
