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.

FBI Parasites, flipping someone the Bird while there dead or dieing, what a sick bunch of People here and that was cold blooded Murder.
My ancestors were homesteaders back in the turn of the last century and they helped settle the West! Very Sad!
Murder! Assassination! Political greed motivated.
An investigation?What a joke.I was willing to believe the state police had nothing to do with it,but now that they offered to aid in the investigation,I’m not so sure.If they were going to do their own investigation,I might believe they had nothing to do with it.My opinion ,for what it’s worth,is that it was cold blooded murder to make an example.
Infuriating… I 100% support law enforcement, especially as they face violent criminals daily. This is not one of those situations though. This was blatant. These were men who stated their purpose, and Lavoy was murdered.
Wait a minute I have a friend who is not a beer guzzling red neck he is a member of the militia here in michigan the staement that was made in error go back to watching your propaganda news and bury your head in the sand and when the government control s your every move let me know how it feels
Let’s not mince words here this was murder!!!!!
the government hates to be challanged, if you challange them, they will search and find a reason to kill you, if they must lie to do so, and nothing gets done to them, the ranchers were in the right, the government doesnt own that land, they cant, it is against the law, yet they get away with murder
