The case of LaVoy Finicum, the rancher who was gunned down in Oregon last year, may have disappeared from the main stream press, but you can be sure that it is still a hot topic in rural America where they see it as a clear cut case of murder by government authorities. The situation embarrassed local and federal authorities as farmers and ranchers continued their protest against government overreach and land theft, which was carried in national newspapers for weeks on end.
The end result was that Finicum, one of the leaders in the debacle, advised officials that he was going to the next town to meet with the sheriff there. County sheriffs have tremendous jurisdiction over the area that they oversee, and that would have been a problem for law enforcement and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team which was on site. Enroute to the meeting, Finicums truck was forced off the road into a snow bank, Finicum got out of the truck with hands raised, then tried to approach officers with his hands held wide, but was gunned down in cold blood there in the snow. There is both helicopter footage as well as a cell phone record of the incident, and it is causing some major concerns among law enforcement and the FBI.
FBI implicated in murder of Finicum, page 2:
They had every right to shoot at the vehicle before it went off the road.
Hell, we saw it on the video from that helicopter pilot overhead. Time to sue the hell out of the FBI!
He was murdered in cold blood.
“May have?”
This issue pisses me off…the media intentionally manipulated and molded this good man’s image, into a “terrorist” and people ate it up…and the ignorant “court of public opinion”….. let them get away with murder. The FBI even sent spooks into town dressed as protestors to rile up and harrass people…And the local Fire Chief caught them! And then resigned..and not another word about it..
Finicum swore he wouldn’t go to jail. So he tries to pull a gun on numerous cops, and proves himself right.
Ya think!!!
Case closed , you lost, get OVER it … Start acting like patriotic Americans
“May have opened fire?”
Any idiot could watch the video and see that he was murdered in cold blood.
Of course they did.
