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.
FBI implicated in murder of Finicum, page 2:
the comments you hear from white folks about the black kid shot down in the city is that he should have cooperated with the cops – why is this any different – the man was armed, trying to avoid a road block, he would not shut up, show his hands, and stop imploring the cops to “shoot me in the head”
Now it is time to investigate the government agency that repeatedly put two in prison for no legal reason. They are not criminals but have been abused for reasons that him wants the land. The Hammonds need to be released an brought home. Should be a big payoff for the time they have not been able to work their ranch!! PLEASE FREE THE HAMMONDS NOW
There was no due process!But the fucked up part about it is nothing will be done about it! This is why crime is up the DOJ,and FBI are the ones that are doing all the crime adding more to the problems we already have. Next thing you know they will have the UN doing the rest for them.
The story neglects to mention LaVoy and the others were on their way to meet with a sheriff and told the FBI agents they were on the way to meet with a sheriff. There was NO REASON for this murder/ambush, except to keep them from getting there. They could have been allowed to get to the sheriffs office and could have been taken without murdering Lavoy.
If you’re going to report then report correctly please. They were NOT “anti-government” protesters, they were protesting unconstitutional government, just as every American has a right to do. Those patriots were pro-America, pro-government. Please stop with the rhetoric.
never mind, that was a washington post quote. delete my comment
Well I’m the last to be an apologist for Police State Tactics… But the Bundys had NO right pulling this Trick to begin with,This video is the 1st full length version that’s not been Edited,and it Plainly show Lavoy threatening a Blood Bath, plus he NEVER even slowed down for the road block,and he couldn’t get around, got stuck,then got killed…. This WHOLE DEAL STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN- THAT IT WAS ALLOWED TO GO ON AND THE BUNDYS BEAT IT IN COURT,,,WHILE LOW LEVEL PARTICIPANTS GOT PRISON TIME,,, But once I got the Facts I’m going to side with the Police. This makes the average Pro Freedom American look like Dangers that 95% of us are not.. The more I find out about this,the madder I get for being duped with edited tapes and Propaganda about this…
With all we know now about the FBI and seeing this film for the second time, what in the hell is going on in our country??? Right is wrong, white is black the good guys are now the bad guys. It is disgusting to see the wrong happening right in front of you, people are killed, innocent people are killed. I feel so sorry for the passengers in that vehicle, thank God they filmed it and the helicopter was also filming. I only hope President Trump fries their asses.
THIS THE THIRD RANCHED ATTACKED IN OREGON THE BUNDY RANCH AND THE HAMMOND RANCH BOTH IN OREGON HAVE URANIUM ON THEIR RANCHES THIS COULD BE HAPPENING ALL OVER AGAIN WITH FBI AND POLICE JUST LIKE THE FIRST 2 RANCHES ON THIS RANCH AND MAY HAVE URANIUM HERE AS WELL MAKE IT OUT TO BE THE RANCHERS FAULT PUT THEM IN JAIL AND LEAVES THE DOOR WIDE OPEN FOR TO HER MOVE IN
It isn’t about being anti Government per se, just a tyrannical/corrupt Government!!
AND, it wasn’t a “standoff”!!
Yup, it was diabolical the way the FBI made Lavoy run the first roadblock and try and plow his way thru the second. Diabolical I say.
