Trump serves as distraction to tragedy in Eastern Oregon
Canada Free Press ^ | A. Dru Kristenev

Posted on 01/28/2016 7:42:16 AM PST by Sean_Anthony

If history holds true, the ranchers courageous enough to bring needed attention to land use rights being subverted by government regulation will be shackled, and the unjustifiable death of a good man will be overlooked

Pathetic is the only word that could describe the skimmed over media treatment of the indiscriminate gunning down of a rancher in Oregon in favor of covering the non-news of Trump’s debate antics.

A peaceful standoff in Harney County, Oregon, came to a violent end as a contingent of protesters were traveling to John Day, Oregon, to meet with the sheriff about resolving the Malheur Wildlife Refuge issue. A recorded interview with a shaken eyewitness, who was part of the company on its way to the meeting, recounted the incident that left one man dead, lying facedown in the middle of the road as he complied with law enforcement.

” as he complied with law enforcement”

He was fleeing from an officer when he ran into the roadblock. He got stuck trying to turn around.

Way to early for conclusions.

It is not Trump’s fault that the FBI murdered that man in Oregon, nor is it his fault that the media is hiding what happened.

The eyewitnesses will be locked out if not locked up.

This author makes the mistake of thinking the major media is not a mouthpiece for the government.

We will get this story out by way of mouth and email and other sources. Don’t give up in well doing. Don’t expect the devil to do our work for us. God has blessed us with sites like Free Republic that give us avenues to spread news.

“Blame Trump. I guess they are starting early. President Trump might as well get used to it.”

The article doesn’t blame Trump for anything.

HRT .... hostage resue team (also used at Ruby Ridge and Waco) but there were no hostages.... so why were they used..???

IT WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST..... guaranteed by the CONSTITUTION

and where was the Crisis Negotiation Team..... ???

well looks like the TRAITOR IN CHIEF via Loretta Lynch skipped the negotiation phase and went straight for MURDER.... assasination .......

THE FACT IS THE BLM IS TRYING TO GET THE LAND FROM THE RANCHERS
AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF OBAMA THE TRAITOR USING TERRORISM CLASSIFICATION TO MURDER AMERICANS..... just the beginning .... UNLESS HE IS CHECKED BY CONGRESS...

THIS SHREDS AND MAKES THE CONSTITUTION MEANINGLESS .......

He wasn’t still in that video - the story that he was on his knees in the road is pure bunk.

So to was the guy you keep touting. He didn't see the action and produced false information. He was still at the moment he was shot - he was not charging an officer. He was in snow above his knees.

I started a thread with a link, so what? Doesn’t matter how hard you try to make it about me - it is NOT about me.

Here another link:
FBI Addresses Fatal Shooting of LaVoy Finicum
http://www.mycentraloregon.com/2016/01/28/fbi-addresses-fatal-shooting-of-lavoy-finicum/

“When we come back to the video, the white truck leaves the scene at a high rate of speed. It travels some distance, quickly approaching a vehicle roadblock in the roadway.

As the white truck approaches the roadblock, there is a spike strip across the road but it appears Finicum missed it as he attempted to drive around the roadblock. He nearly hits an FBI agent as he maneuvers to the left. The truck gets stuck in the snowbank.

Finicum leaves the truck and steps through the snow. Agents and troopers on scene had information that Finicum and others would be armed. On at least two occasions, Finicum reaches his right hand toward a pocket on the left inside portion of his jacket. He did have a loaded 9 mm semi-automatic handgun in that pocket.”
