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.

Road block is NOT the correct term. He had no where to go But off into the snow, other than hit the vehicles, causing danger to his passengers and officers standing around their vehicles. The idiot who was almost hit by LaVoy’s vehicle, had been there, shooting or ready to shoot,and had to jump back out of the way! Too bad, as he was the 1st shooter!!
Tom O’Dell, some things are worth fighting for, even if it cost you your life. You have made it clear to us that you don’t understand that concept. Running through a road block is not the same as trying to run around the road block. I saw an attempt to go around the road block. There is an unspoken war going on in our country and this family was and still is fully aware of their potential consequences. Kudos to them for doing something that over 90 % of the population would NOT do. A for the rhetoric court comments, I’m sorry. I didn’t know i was talking to a high appointed lawyer. However, democracy is a hoax.. Its an illusion and this family is fully aware of that. They are willing to sacrifice their lives to expose the corruption of the federal government. The days are coming and it won’t be handled in the court room. Oh btw, the officer did jump away out of the way for safety precautions. But had he not jumped, he would not have been hit. Boom.. “Mic dropped”
What’s the agents names and agency. I notice people don’t really want to address this issue.
Courts? You trust he courts? Golly gee Wally that’s just swell.
Indeed, I’m just ashamed the American people are still sitting down.
Ya you and me both. I guess it will change once people see things happening. When people start getting killed by the hundreds. Hopefully it will not be too late.
Well gee Cody since you’re such a badass know it all, what would you do, challenge them to a gunfight at high noon?
Trying to follow this story and how things unfold .. have to question reports that have the last name misspelled unless they are doing that on purpose to avoid the video/article from being taken down right away…
It was murder.
I knew from the first view of the videos that he was murdered. No doubt in my mind.
