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.

Carol Kelly the Feds said they set up the “AMBUSH” they did not call it a road block they called it an ambush……do you know what you are talking about?!
Peter Kirschner too late….this was not the first incident like this and it will not be the last.
Lavoy Vinicum Murdered by Feds
It is reminiscent of Ruby Ridge and Waco, Texas, where overbearing federal agents use wanton force against citizens who were no threat to anyone. In fact, the video clearly shows that the government laid in wait and set up an ambush, forced Vinicum’s vehicle off the road into deep snow, let him exit the car in open ground and deep snow where he could not move quickly, and then murdered him with shots from multiple agents from multiple vantage points. Nine shots were fired, though he was clearly subdued after the first shot or two, and it is obvious that the objective was to murder, not to take into custody.
Dave Graham it was a war/military action on the part of the Feds not a law enforcement incident…….people do not realize that the government is declaring war on American citizens…..and if we react before Obama is out then Martial Law will be declared……that is their plan …. if that happens their will be no freedoms, no elections, and a lot more deaths of citizens…….we need to have the patience of the cougar and lay in wait till the time is right.
autopsy results can be “adjusted” by the Feds……
and the Feds knew they were safe….in the videos they walk all around without any kind of cover or protection and chat with each other casually ….. it was just a coffee break to them with a shooting gallery game for entertainment…..if they had felt in danger of being shot they would have taken cover.
if he is not smart enough to know you risk getting run over when you charge a moving vehicle then he does not have the intelligence to have a gun or be in law enforcement at any level.
if any riot like action is taken they will declare Martial Law…..that is their plan and why they are doing and did what they are doing…..they are trying to push citizens into a trap.
Howard…..if any riot type or gun fight back is done at this time, Martial Law will be declared…..then, no freedoms, no elections, and more civilian deaths……we need to think like a cougar……lay in wait till the time is right …..we need Obama out first or we fall into his trap….Obama/Feds are laying land mines with incidences like this and if we react with violence we blow ourselves up but if we use caution we may be able to make it through the land mine field……think Howard…..the government is declaring war on us…..think like a soldier in the battle field.
