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.
See video analyisis of Vinicums murder, page 2;
If you actually watch the video it is OBVIOUS that Lavoy was murdered !
Murdered in cold blood, then had a stolen 9mm pistol planted on him by the agents. What has become of our beloved American republic?
Man, if he were black it would be and snow ball fight.

i heard on a report he always carried a revolver, why a nine auto now?
Cold blooded Murder
MURDERED, IN AN AMBUSH BY THE FEDS.
The fbi got what they wanted- lavoy and other occupants were on their way to a peaceful meeting- they never were a threat other than getting Americans to wake up to the government operating unlawfully- the blm has been pushing and using bullie tactics to force farmers and ranchers off their own lands for years- any other business that operates this way is brought up on criminal charges so why can’t we the people demand for justice- the feds make the laws- the feds inforce their laws- the feds judge their laws in federal courts therefore you have no chance- this Greg Bertzing( fbi in charge of burns) needs looked into-he’s known for dropping the ball sorta speaking- the group never possed as a deadly threat-the fbi and state police did that-
Murdered. He put his hands up and then was shot.
The FBI said this was a planned arrest so where are all the body cameras and audio
