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;
They murdered lavoy period. .
How did act like a idiot been fired on by mercs..he saved lives by giving his own dude you make 0 sense
Tehrell Muddfoot if you watch the inside car video he just jumped out and started yelling like crazy after almost running over an officer…cmon that was not very smart. He should have stayed in the vehicle and he would be alive today.
Harry Reid stinch is all over his murder.
They should be prosecuted to fullest extent of the law and then some, drain the swamp now!!!!
How many remember the FBI agents that murdered Vickie Weaver at Ruby Ridge. When they were subpoenaed to testify in front of congressional members, the pled the fifth. Thank God a judge had the stones to find that the government was negligent in the death of Mrs. Weaver and awarded Randy Weaver several million dollars in damages. When the federal government wants you dead, your days are numbered.
Well you people better get used to it. This is what our government does. I think you will find things are only going to get worse.
It looks like you spelled his damned name wrong.
Almost running over an officer? That comment alone let’s me know that you are one of those types of people. The feds have been after that family for decades. How about trying to enlighten others on the facts that are kept off of media, instead of using words to juice the story up. The vehicle was turning away from the officers, not aiming at them.
Jason Arp Purvis He tried to run a road block and it is clear the officer had to jump out of the way. I state facts not emotion. You can’t take your rhetoric to court and expect any kind of justice to take place. I was clear that the officers did not follow procedure and someone is now dead because of it. So you want to tell me that 1. you would attempt to run a road block? that is illegal 2. during a hostile situation you would jump from your vehicle or stay put? go ahead try acting like he did even at a routine traffic stop and see what happens let alone a heated situation at boiling point 3. To add further salt to the wound you would start yelling at the officers after exiting your vehicle? it would not go well for you 4. All the while you are acting like this inciting the officers and making the situation worse when you have women and children in the car with you? I have no words for you but I hope you would never act this way with your own family in the car, just do it when they are not present. So the facts are again that he acted irrationally. The officers did not follow procedure. A criminal investigation would reveal it, of course these things get swept under the rug sometimes, I don’t deny it or excuse it and I agree. It is not over, so let us hope those found guilty of wrong doing get theirs.
