Finicum is a lesson on 2 levels, that of government overstep and that of personal drama-queening overstep. A fool fell into the hands of fools. Not something we want to see repeated from either end.
Lavoy and the others may have not thought out their plan or lack of one in any other way than to say to the feds” get off my lawn”.
And thanks to their action there has been a much greater awareness as to the likely direction the “oppressors” will take to resistance and further acts of disobedience.
The actions of Lavoy and others are not wasted.
