[[Can you imagine the sheer terror LaVoy Finicum and the occupants of his vehicle felt when they had the cold realization troopers and federal agents were shooting at them at the first roadside stop?]]
No i can not- It must have been absolutely frightening and unreal at the same time- Here they were goign to meet with the sheriff, thinking that htere was no way their own government would put a hit out on them, feeling somewhat safe no doubt- perhaps even thinking the worst that was going to happen was that they would be arrested- then the bullets begin hitting the stopped vehicle as the driver had his hands out the window to show he ws not armed-
I can’t even imagine how betrayed by their own government they felt at that moment in time- All their fears about a corrupt government came true in the blink of an eye at that first stop
I just can’t even imagine - exc ept to imagine that everyone in the vehicle must have been screaming “They are trying to kill us” as Finicum sped away-
What a senseless senseless tragedy this is- The protests had been peaceful and there was NO reason to believe it would be anything but peaceful unless officials forced the issue-
In spite of the authorities assuring elected officials from Coalition for Western States that they would not do anything like Ruby Ridge.
This was a professional hit. I pray for Victoria Sharp, Shawna Cox and Ryan Bundy-this had to be horrific, knowing your government was trying to kill you.
