Lavoy Finicum was ambushed and murdered by Federal agents, as is apparent in the video analysis on page 2. Vinicum was one of the ranchers protesting the incarceration of two ranchers in Oregon on a charge of arson resulting from burning brush on their ranch which spread to vacant federal land.
The two ranchers extinguished the blaze with no outside help, and the land is actually flourishing and more productive and less prone to experience wildfires with all of the underbrush gone, but the situation is more about control from Washington D.C. and the animosity that environmentalists feel for ranchers and Westerners in general who are occupying “their” land.
A number of ranchers and militia members, including Finicum, occupied a remote wildlife refuge in protest, and hundreds of government agents and law enforcement converged on the location in a show of force to let the nation know who actually owns this country.
There had been no violence exhibited by the ranchers or militiamen, but it was inevitable with so many officials and well armed government personnel that they would move to make an example of a citizen who would not be cowed. And so Lavoy Finicum was sacrificed and murdered to the gods of government power and authority.

Murder by the BLM
It’s a good shoot go for a gun and get shot. Play stupid games win STUPID prizes
I think the author of the article should at least use the right name of the victim. His last name is Finicum, not Vinicum.
Just thank King putt. POS
Actually multiple!
Murdered.
I would need more than the tape shows to convict…was he reaching towards a wound? A gun? Neither of us can know for sure. Why did they pull off after they stopped the first time? I would have the same thoughts of this was a black man in the streets of Chicago…you comply or risk the consequences…he did right by missing the barricade, but speeding up on them was tense I’m sure, and did he decide to get out, or did they command him to? People lie, so without inconclusive video evidence, there is no telling exactly what happened.
