Interesting how so many people forget things. What about the Cliven Bundy standoff? A lot of people (mostly white) showed up to protest about the impending arrest of the Bundys and were very poorly treated. I don't remember anyone going out on the streets and rioting, do you? We left it to the courts (probably a mistake). They even ambushed and killed La Voy Finicum for no reason and we didn't even blink an eye.
Now we wonder why all of this is happening and no one does anything about it? I guess no one cares about standing up for what is right any more. When the Feds wanted to amass forces to shut down the land protest, they weren't worried about beating or killing anyone at all. Why are they concerned now when they need to be going after the people who planned, organized and instigated all of this rioting? Our government is so corrupt, the Chinese taking over here couldn't do a worse job.
I remember that.
Wonder if Americans are going to riot in the streets over the continued mistreatment of the Bundys? If we did, would the states shut it down? What would they do after they've done almost nothing over these riots/looting by CRIMINALS??? Not much they could say, is there?
“killed La Voy Finicum for no reason”
Suicide by cop.
he was shot multiple times with his hands up
“Go ahead and shoot me, you’re going to have to shoot me”
Documentary detailing the events was recently shown on cable. You can see on utube.... worth watching ....

watch the video, has the live recordings from the occupants and the drone.
Only an @sshole or seditionist would defend the action of the BLM and FBI.
I did watch the video which is where I got the quote “Go ahead and shoot me, you’re going to have to shoot me””
What came to mind watching it was “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”, or does that only apply to certain victims.
Good Point,
Logic doesn’t
Work with the
Currant situation.
The BLM and the protesters weren’t on the same team back then.
They had set up an illegal roadblock with snipers along the highway and started shooting at him and his car with occupants that included a young teenage girl. He got out of the car with his hands up to distract the snipers away from shooting at the car.
Levoy was on his way to sheriff office and was assassinated at a remote location along the road. Levoy was taken out because he was an articulate spokesman for the group. No previous arrest record.
It really boils my blood that anyone could/or would defend the corrupt BLM/FBI for this situation. I have followed this case since its beginning; however, I have not had an urge to riot and burn down buildings; only provided with more evidence of how unfree we Americans truly are.
Ammon Bundy, Brian Cavalier and Ryan Payne all surrendered peacefully. If LaVoy Finicum had done the same he would still be alive.
he was going to the sherrif’s office, what do you not get?
“he was going to the sherrif’s office, what do you not get?”
Bullshit, he was heading to a meeting in John Day.
Lavoy’s murder/ambush by fed agents reviewed by retired police officer:

“Bullshit, he was heading to a meeting in John Day.”
As was captured on one of the passengers phone video recordings, Lavoy stated just after he was pulled over at the road block, “You back down or you kill me now. Go ahead. Put the bullet through me. I don’t care. I’m going to go meet the sheriff.” He then got out of the car and walked away with his hands up, he then was shot multiple times by snipers and law officers from front and back. If his intent was to die by suicide, he would have charged the officers and/or threatened the officer with a weapon.
