BURNS- OREGON STANDOFF SPOKESMAN ROBERT 'LAVOY' FINICUM WAS KILLED AND OTHER LEADERS OF THE MALHEUR NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE OCCUPATION WERE ARRESTED TUESDAY AFTER THE FBI AND STATE POLICE STOPPED VEHICLES ABOUT 20 MILES NORTH OF BURNS.

AUTHORITIES DID NOT RELEASE THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO DIED AT THE HIGHWAY STOP, BUT FINCICUM'S DAUGHTER CONFIRMED IT WAS FINICUM, 55, OF CANE BEDS, ARIZONA ONE OF THE COWBOY-HAT WEARING FACES OF THE TAKEOVER.

'DAD WAS SUCH A GOOD MAN THROUGH AND THROUGH,' SAID ARIANA FINCICUM BROWN, 26, ONE OF FINCIUM'S 11 CHILDREN. 'HE WOULD NEVER WANT TO HURT SOMEBODY, BUT HE DOES BELIEVE IN DEFENDING FREEDOM AND HE KNEW THE RISKS INVOLVED.'.........

I used all caps to describe what happened out in Oregon this evening as reported by "Oregon Live"

'the FBI and state police stopped vehicles about 20 miles north of Burns."

[Politicalkiddo]

Heard he was unarmed. Shot three times by the cops. Just rumors, so far.

It is a mistake to not assume the NSA know just what and whom is in ever car on the streets.

[Baynative]

Oh GOD, I prayed it wouldn’t come to this.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Heard the same thing. Put on his knees and shot three times. Unconfirmed.

This is from a facebook entry posted by a friend of Ammon Bundy....

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore said that Ammon Bundy called his wife, Lisa Bundy, from the back of a police car on Tuesday night. Fiore, a vocal supporter of the Bundy family, said that Ammon Bundy told his wife that Finicum was cooperating with police and had put his hands up. Then, Fiore said, Bundy told his wife that he watched police shoot Finicum three times. She said that Ammon Bundy also said Finicum was on the ground when he was shot. Finicum on Monday said in a radio blog interview that he sensed heightened activity from federal law enforcement.

absolutely. Cameras are everywhere looking at license plates and drivers.

[Texas Eagle]

Gunfight my ass.

[The All Knowing All Seeing Oz]

Oh, please.

Pure unsubstantiated rumor from someone who knows nothing.

I don't know what happened and I certainly do not trust this government. But I do not want to become the next michal brown, or what ever the hell his name was in Fergeson. Lets just be sure before we make an accusation like that.

Its certainly not what I wanted but I sensed it was coming based on the fact that support for their cause appeared to be solidifying and spreading.

The Governor of Oregon published her demands last week in letters to Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch, which I think gave a pretext for the action taken this evening.

The leaders were headed into a neighboring county for a meeting tonight providing the opportunity to arrest them out on the open road.

Bump for later.....Sad news

These are the first shots of a new revolution. His death will be avenged.

This is gonna turn out a certain segment of the white vote, with a vengeance. The GOP will benefit at the polls. I suspect Ruby Ridge did a number on George HW Bush’s numbers in 1992, and Waco had a big impact on 1994’s GOP takeover of Congress.

[Nextrush]

The FBI and company will come before the media at 1:30am Eastern, 44 minutes from now.

What’s next is interesting, there are still people at the refuge including women and children, it is said....

What happens there?????

With GOP victories that put 2014 in the shade. This is gonna turn out a certain segment of the white vote, with a vengeance. The GOP will benefit at the polls. I suspect Ruby Ridge did a number on George HW Bush's numbers in 1992, and Waco had a big impact on 1994's GOP takeover of Congress.

[wideawake]

He told reporters multiple times that he was never unarmed.

[Politicalkiddo]

I don’t know anything about that. Don’t shoot the messenger (no pun intended). I said they were just rumors. I don’t know what to think.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

At NO time did I see Fox News break away to cover this developing story. It can't be that they didn't want to escalate tensions.. THEY COVERED FERGUSON AND BALTIMORE AROUND THE CLOCK FOR DAYS ON END!!!

Who runs Fox News now, the gubmint?
