Vid at Oregon live link:
Looks to me like he reached for his pocket a couple of times.
4 minute vid. Shooting at around 1:45 to 2:00 area.
At about 2:30 as the plane goes around the side, there appear to be little flashes in the snow outside the passenger side of the truck. Not sure what was going on there (flash grenades?).
There’s also a spray snow after that around 2:45 - 2:50 which looks like FBI shot into passenger door. Windows were up. Could be how other guy got shot in arm.
I’ve seen some speculation that he was shot in the hip to deliberately cause that reaction.
Yeah, the guy looked to me like an older guy trying to walk through knee deep snow with his hands up. Not easy.
Regardless of the reasonableness (or not) of the actual shooting, Mr. Finicum took several actions which led up to the final result. Had he chose a different path he would be in Portlanfd with his compatriots.
Normally my commentary for the Portlanders, that are happy with the results of this situation, would be to ask them where they planned to get their next burger. Of course they are all dope smoking vegans so that would be useless. It does still present an idea for what would have been a much more effective protest.
The occupation, while armed, of the wildlife refuge was stupid. Out in the middle of nowhere, with guns, and also acting in ways that at least one local BLM employee reported to authorities. That is a loser.
Take 10 or 20 cowboys (unarmed), 50 head of cattle and drive them through downtown Portland, or Salem (the capital village of Oregon) and you have a real protest, with a trail of poop in its path. Yes, it would cost money for the cattle, horses, and some fines for cleanup, but it would be so worth it.
