This is what AZ Central has to say. Mr. Finicum’s ex-wife is a good friend of mine. This is so wrong on so many accounts.
Oh...it is absolutely wrong. Those gys were not a danger to anyone. They were making a statement about the Federal over-reach that needs to be made.
We did much the same in Klamath in 2001.
But they were wrong to think that this administration was simply going to let them drive to John Day. This admin was gunning for them and looking for an opportunity to take them into custody.
I do not really know why they thought they could just drive over there.
Reading this it says law enforcement is tightening their circle. It also suggests that no one will get out just to leave and go about their business.
This is so different than occupy wallstreet.
These guys are cowboys as the woman said about Finicum, and they carry guns. It’s just a reality of who they are.
But, there was no tightening circle against Occupy, no threatenings, no talks about bloodshed, no dead people
