Video Of Rancher Killed By Feds Shows Why He Was Angry - BLM Stole His Water
No matter what you think about the standoff in Oregon, this video shows rancher LaVoy Finicum was a man who was just trying to get by. All he wanted to do was feed and water his cows, and to take care of his family. It is stunningly heartbreaking that a man who merely wanted to keep his livestock fed and watered, was shot down in a dispute over the federal government's totalitarian control of public land.
If you know the story of the "Oregon Standoff," this video will make you cry. A good man, who just wanted to feed his cattle, was gunned down in Oregon, standing up to a government that stole water meant for his livestock. He was so angry with a government that made his already hard life, harder, he took a stand. This is the plight of ranchers across America who are barely subsisting under the Obama administration.
Share this video liberally. Our government killed a good man. A man who was just trying to get by, and who was just trying to take care of his family.
Rest in peace, LaVoy, rest in peace.

This has been going on for many years, with the BLM trying to buy all the property in this area, harassing and intimidating owners to sell out, cancelling legally obtained access to water and grassland, jailing people on trumped up charges, etc. It is unbelievable what our government gets away with while blaming citizens for wanting their own rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Now outright murder, yes I said murder as I see it.
Thanks for the link, kimi.
Bundy and Finicum might or might not have been of the same mind on that subject.
In any event the FBI has some serious answering to do. They messed this thing up pretty bad, but it isn't as clear cut as Ruby Ridge or Waco.
But, he did try to run the roI want fees to go up and he ran around in the snow, and he reached for his left pocket, which made him susceptible to getting shot. He badly mishandled the last minute of his life on this earth.
All for the greater good, of course. Blessed by the environmental loons, their democratic accomplices, and the uninformed masses in this country who don't care...until it is their pond, stream, or property the government sets its sights on.
Then they will wonder who is going to help them.
"Give me liberty or give me death"
Some men live up to, or die for certain values.
RIP Mr. Finicum.
So what? At that point HE HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING NOTABLY THREATENING. He ran off the road w/o hitting anyone/anything. He exited his vehicle with hands raised. The fuzz were obviously waiting for him as the final shot was fired by a uniform who had been hiding in the trees. None of the video I saw showed any indication of when the bullets started hitting Finicum so "reaching for his pocket" might have been a response to a bullet strike. At that point, there was no reason for any of the fuzz to be exposed as they had adequate cover from which to control the situation and get the guy proned out. "Running around in the snow" isn't a capital offense. All they had to do was wait for him to cool off but they were determined to notch their pistols and an unarmed individual in the open was fairly safe. Matter of fact, the roI want fees to go up was almost directly in the line of fire of the shooter who came out of the trees and shot Finicum in the back. The murderers were in far more danger of "blue on blue" than from the citizen they mudered.
If you were there you wouldn't be talking and I'll guarantee those who were there will say exactly what they're told to say.
BTW I don't know where "the roI want fees to go up" came from.
he is the picture of pure [}:)]
For this they kill but when the idiots burn cities they do nothing[V][xx(][:(]
They are already corralled in the cities and the sheeple are more manageable.The independent farmer,rancher or mountain man is not.
America now is ripe to usher in The NWO. All is left is to have a World-wide money collapse then have a cashless money scheme and tag all citizens into the system and repeal the second amendment so the rulers have no fear of a violent overthrow of their oligarchic powers through a so called democracy with one caveat they pick all the candidates with use of their power.You must be politically correct in all things they deem as right and just.
Just like in Any totalitarian government!

I guess Ammon Bundy was not ready to take it as far as Finicum because he gave up as soon as the cops pulled him over.
I lost a lot of respect for both sides. If you are foing to make a stand, make the stand and don't back down, they showed weakness and fear. The uniformed executioners, my opinion of law enforcement is lower now seeing what lengths they will go to for thier own agendas. They commited premeditated murder and tried to up the body count by firing into the vehicle after they had a body on the ground.
Looks like the "shoot out" was pretty one-sided.
He could have stayed safely in the vehicle. .................Oops! Looks like the vehicle caught a few rounds from somewhere.
Looks like the "shoot out" was pretty one-sided.
Bingo! We have a winner!
There is absolutely no justification in shooting the vehicle, no matter what you want to believe about the shooting of Finicum, which is not warranted.
This shows exactly what was planned, if they couldn't execute a simple plan that a rookie fresh out of training can do, then what they did was what they planned.

he looked confused as if he was getting yelled at from different directions, did anyone think he could have been directed to identify himself and reached for his wallet ?
overall it looked pretty calculated, possibly entirely fake and staged
Friends tell you the truth, not what you want to hear.
they are sending a message to everyone...did everyone here understand it[?][?]
but like yall say someone needs to do something..
bet he didnt sit on GBF all day behind a keyboard saying what they would do if this or that happend[:(!]
someone take it from here
Don't miss the 'big picture' here.
Currently the government controls the food supply from planting to shipping to processing ~ and that includes the approval of genetically modified food.
50 years ago, some echoed concerns about a water shortage and most water sources are under government control in one way or another.
Control the food and water & you control the population.

Your catching on! The United Nations controls Foresting and Land Management too! Wake up Americans you are being assimilated by The NWO. Harry Reid would be proud of The Feds ACTIONS! He is for The United Nations take over!

I pointed this out last week, many of the members I waited to respond never did and some who did respond didn't fail to dissapoint. I'm noticing that it is far easier to just sut and * about issues then when a group has had enough they wish to pass judgement because they didn't just sit and * but instead acted. I've been involved in cival disobediance and protests by helping to block interstates, by doing so those who have no clue why we did it passed judgement instead of finding out why. Same thing here, the BLM has no direct effec on thier daily lives so why should they support the protest? Instead when they see they rattled the feds they become fearfull of backlash and commence to passing judgement in favor of the fed winning hoping this earns them brownie points with the feds who they think monitor every typed word. Me, I don't care, I support the protest and am a little disapointed they gave up.
As I've said numerous times" Be prepared to defend yourself against ANY threat".

I guess that depends upon what you thought the message was.
The message is if this kind of white terrorism continues we the government will kill you and inact The NDAA on your families.The Gestapo is coming! No courts or lawyers either! The mask is coming off soon.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but the government already controls the population, even to the way we think. It's not just the other guy. The Second Amendment is a good example. The Second Amendment is clear that we have a RIGHT to keep and bear arms. Then states started issuing "concealed carry permits", government permission to exercise a RIGHT. That made us happy. Then there were reciprocity agreements between states which gave us permission to exercise that RIGHT outside our home state. We were jubilant. Now there is a bill in the Senate for universal reciprocity which has a fair chance of passing. We think we are winning the battle. We could get permission from government to exercise a RIGHT.
He Was Part of the Conspiracy To Commit Murder Of these Folks In this Car He Was Working with the FBI Etc To Lure them Out of the Compound

Sheriff Ward may have a rough road ahead. His experience was as a correction officer, until he became a Harney County deputy in 2008 or so. He was appointed sheriff by the County Court last year, and has to stand for election this November.
He hadn't exactly impressed the community prior to this episode, and did little to improve his standing. If he is elected to office, I will be surprised.
