A six-count criminal complaint was filed Thursday in Las Vegas against Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy stemming from the April 2014 armed standoff with federal law enforcement officers.
Bundy, 69, who was arrested in Portland, Oregon, late Wednesday, was charged with leading a "massive armed assault" against authorities outside his ranch to force them to abandon roughly 400 Bundy cattle they had rounded up.
He had "trespassed his cattle" on federal public lands for more than 20 years, refusing to pay for required permits and thwarting federal court orders, the complaint alleges.
"Bundy was the leader, organizer and chief beneficiary of the conspiracy, possessing ultimate authority over the scope, manner and means of the conspiratorial operations and receiving economic benefits of the extortion," the complaint states.

Thank you for the posting the map, but it doesn’t answer my question about the constitutionality of federal government ownership of land.
Are you associated with the federal government in any way Ben Ficklin?
It will drain Bundy of any funds, plus void any contract he had with the feds, take his guns, and on and on. He is done. GD feds!!
Divided we Fall,,
Yes, I work in the psychological operations dept. at DOJ.
I do not believe that such a department is justifiable under the feds constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. /sarc
BOOKMARK-
SEE COMMENT
Texas should have remained its own country.
Because it isn't unconstitutional. Unusual interpretations of Article I, Section 8 not withstanding.
Just reading the complaint and you’re correct,,,
It may be awhile before Clivenoon is home.
All those who participated have a reason to worry.
Crap sammy,,,
The photo’s to go along with this are on Facebook but I need a freeper with good graphics skills to handle that part. The Facebook page is OWO Oregon Wide Open
The shooting sight of LaVoy Finicum.
WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES
Originally, I went to simply pay respects to LaVoy, pay tribute to a Man I respected and visit a memorial site which I had heard was just erected. It was a site that media first deemed a “shootout†Then, that he “charged them” and alas he was simply “going” for a gun when they shot him in the Face at close range.
I definitely wasn’t expecting to see a complete illustration of the turn of events leading to his death. The tracks of the shooters hiding in the tree’s, the blood soaked snow, the shattered glass and the deep trench in the snow created by his truck when he avoided collision and took to the snow bank. I was shocked at what I saw and experienced.
I first went out Saturday morning, 4 days after the incident, spent a couple hours, paid my respects draped some American flags that I purchased in town and in the process met some great guys from Idaho who drove all night to do the same. They helped with supplies I was lacking and assisted with the Flag, then placed a Blue tarp, a Cowboy hat and a simple “RIP LaVoy Finicum, an American Hero†plackard made of cardboard and magic markers. I regret that I didn’t get a photo of the Men I met but I believe there was some video that I’ll try to locate of a special moment.
I was deeply moved but also deeply disturbed and couldn’t quite process what all I’d observed right away. So I plotted a later trip at specifically the same time LaVoy met his fate and returned at 4:25 pm. that same evening.
Below are the photo’s and my observation (and opinions) of what happened. Forgive me for the interjection of my opinions, I typically stick with facts but I tried my best to let facts guide the opinions.
I recommend you load up the FBI video for reference as I did as well as Victoria Sharps radio testimony, it all starts making sense and coming together if you see the shooting sight, watch the piss poor video and hear the testimony.
I keep hearing the press telling it wrong and it annoys the hell out of me! A few minutes watching the video and looking at the scene brings it all together. Notice the road flares in the video warning them of the impending roadblock? Me either, because there WERE NONE! Why? Because they couldn’t get their kill that way (my Opinion) I couldn’t present the photo’s inline so they are each numbered at or near the top left corner albeit fairly small. They are sequentially in order after the first two of the memorial.
PHOTO 1 – ROADBLOCK ON A BLIND CORNER
The Yellow arrows indicate the point at which he could see the roadblock and started braking. As I surveyed the sight, questions started popping from the scene, the first of which was, why here? Why a roadblock on a blind turn knowing that if they come this far, they’re likely at a high rate of speed. This caused suspicion. I watched the video again and noticed his brake lights came on as soon as he made the corner and they never went out until he came to a stop 40’ from where he entered the snow bank.
He clearly was trying to stop and could not so he plowed into the snow bank rather than the trucks and bodies blocking his path.
This alone should be criminally prosecuted as it was a premeditated attempt at causing harm and placing 4 lives at risk. If we as civilians were to pull such a stunt we would likely be charged with aggravated assault or manslaughter assuming no one died. This alone, in my opinion, seemed egregious and unconscionable.
I made three test runs on the turn and tried to stop prior to the location of the roadblock. I could not stop at 75 mph short of the mark. Each time, anticipating the viewpoint I anchored the brakes. Each time I would have plowed right into the three vehicles blocking the road.
He covered the 1.25 miles in one minute if you watch the timer on the video. Given that he started from a stand still, he was moving when he approached that corner and roadblock. My estimates with elapsed time, distance, and starting from a stopped position, 85 MPH.
While stopped they had taken unprovoked gun fire and more when they decided to flee.
I’m in an aluminum bodied performance SUV and only myself in the vehicle where he was in a Heavy Duty Diesel Pick up with 3 passengers. So if I couldn’t stop he certainly could not.
The SUICIDE BY COP narrative is completely debunked by this. If he wanted to die, he would have taken some LEO with him and accelerated right through the lot of them at the roadblock.
PHOTO 2 – SNOW BANK
Finicum, not being able to stop, instinctually did what most of us would do, alter course. If you’ve ever caught a tire in a snow bank you know it grabs you and sucks you in the second your tire hits the snow bank. You see his truck pitch quickly when it connects with the snow and he managed to avoid hitting everyone including the testosterone junkie that dove in front of his truck either to bail on the roadblock thinking he was going to be hit or a Macho†I’ll stop him with a pistol†move. We’re not sure but either way, when the FBI presser said he nearly hit an official with his truck it was a ridiculous statement. He tried to AVOID hitting them but they had the stage set perfectly so it couldn’t be avoided other than to take the snow bank.
There were talk of spike strips but none were seen in the video nor roadflares.
Another theory debunked was that he was trying to get through the snow drift and make a get away, those of you who know diesel trucks know you would have seen a plume of black smoke from him accelerating. Additionally, his brake lights were on the entire time once he saw the roadblock.
They simply left him no room to stop. Just beyond the turn is a mile long straightaway.
Why not there where it’s safe and could be seen. I thought maybe the County Line but it’s further down the road I believe. I’m sure Sheriff Ward wanted to be sure he had blood spilled in his County.
Sheriff Palmer of the adjoining county where they were headed was welcoming them with a group of 200 Ranchers and John Day residents who were anxious to hear how they could protect themselves against the brutality of the BLM.
PHOTO 3 – SHOOTER LOCATION
This was particularly disturbing to me and cooberates the ambush theory. I found 3 locations where operatives were posted up behind in the forest, out of sight. Perfectly strategic for an enemy combatant in a combat situation.
Finicum was a peaceful soul, had NO history of violence, had been openly speaking of his peaceful intent and was “armed up†with two church choir singers preparing to perform at their intended destination. In the entire period of time of the occupation and still currently, there has never been a weapon discharged by ANYONE at the refuge or in Harney County.
Media reports of a “shootout†were blatantly overstated and a lie. A shootout requires at least two members of an opposing force firing at one another, the FBI admits no one from the truck ever raised, handled, displayed or discharged a firearm whatsoever.
PHOTO 4 – WINDSHIELD GLASS
Witnesses Victoria Sharp and Shawna Cox stated that they took fire in the windshield while approaching the roadblock.
This starts looking a lot like a setup as they they forced them into a “hostile†situation. I know this is windshield glass because the Side windows and rear window were dark tinted. There were ample amounts of this relevant to the location of the truck where it stopped. Having owned Body shops, I can attest to the fact that windshield glass fractures in long thin shards due to the membrane where side window glass breaks in small cubes generally no bigger than a pencil eraser. (see photo 5 & 6)
PHOTO 5 – SIDE WINDOW TINTED GLASS
Note the tint and the small cubicle fractures. This glass was abundantly strewn all around the truck site in the snow. Interesting how we don’t SEE much of that activity on the video yet both Shawna and Victoria tell of hundreds of bullets riddling the truck and Ryan Bundy was shot in the shoulder. There is some evidence of bullets striking the passenger side of the truck late in the video (10:20 and 10:47) Why is this? What possible motive is there to fire rounds into a stopped vehicle with people inside who have exhibited no threatening behavior? This isn’t Mexico or Bolivia, a badge does not grant you authority and immunity in America. It places a considerable amount of responsibility on ones shoulders to have the fortitude to REFRAIN from actions like this in law enforcement. This CANNOT be allowed!
Photo 6 – MORE SIDE GLASS NEAR THE REAR OF THE TRUCK
The location of the glass strewn in the snow, most of it from the passenger side is consistent with eyewitness testimony as well. I doubt there was any glass left in that truck after the firing stopped. Shawna mentioned that after the three were all removed from the truck, they opened fire on it again. This is peculiar. I would only do that if I were planning on denying that shots were fired while they were in it to explain the massive amount of damage to the vehicle.
PHOTO 7 - 2ND SNIPER
The location of the second sniper hiding on the East side of the Roadblock. Notice all the branches removed, probably for a prop for his Long gun. This agent never shows up on the video. Doesn’t fit the narrative of a “ Routine Traffic Stop†Again, NO history of violence from ANYONE inside the truck. They had everyone surveilled for three weeks and knew also who was going to this meeting due to inside sources. They called for the Women to exit the truck at the first stop although it had dark tinted glass.
PHOTO 8 - 3RD SNIPER WEST SIDE OF THE ROAD
Across the road and directly across from the roadblock another agent hidden in the Forrest, lying in wait.
PHOTO 9 - PROXIMITY OF 3RD SNIPER
This photo simply illustrates the proximity of the 3rd Sniper to the other two. That’s an awful lot of firepower for a 55 year old Mormon ad his Choir ensemble.
PHOTO 10 - PAINTED MARKER ON THE HWY
I’m not sure what this indicates. It’s in the vicinity of the two vehicles in the front of the road block. Or could it indicate the placement of a shooter?
PHOTO 11 – DEADLY SHOOTERS TRACKS
This was a grizzly discovery for me, not quite as bad as the blood in the snow but it clearly follows the path of the shooter that killed Finicum via a close proximity shot to the face. It matches the video of the shooter where he advances, fires, takes lateral steps then retreats. The small trees are a reference point and the snowmobile tracks as well. It was very close to Finicum. He was close enough to easily discern whether there was eminent danger and if there was a visible fire arm which the FBI admitted there was not. Given the suspect, there should have been WAY more patience in waiting until you confirmed a firearm rather than the possibility of one.
The Expletive, Expletive, Expletive who left these tracks wasn’t quite sure what to do with himself after killing an innocent God loving Man so he walks in circles for a moment then runs toward the road. I hope He has a long life of horrific regrets ahead of him.
PHOTO 12 – WARNING GRAPHIC. LAST STEPS
I’m not sure why they would leave the remains there like this. It would seem respectful to at least cover, remove or bury them. Not visible in this frame is the blood from another region of his body. It was uncomfortable to document and intend no disrespect. The ensuing photo(s) will explain why I decided to document and post.
PHOTO 13 – WARNING GRAPHIC. OTHER BLOOD
Here is clear evidence of another wound in the region of hip, torso area. It’s impossible to say where specifically but it does add credence to the belief that he was shot in the lower or mid region before the lethal shot to the face. This would have caused his hands to drop naturally to the wound and would explain why he points at the agent behind the truck.
You can see the snow tamped down around where his body lie while they processed the scene. For the record, if you watch the video, notice the time that lapsed before they rendered aid to him. 10 MINUTES!
PHOTO 14 WARNING GRAPHIC SELF EXPLANATORY
PHOTO 15 WARNING GRAPHIC SELF EXPLANATORY
I became so enraged when I saw this, I had to wait some time before deciding to post.
In the end, I felt everyone deserved to see what I saw. This appeared to me as the last respects paid by one of the shooters. If you enlarge this image it is clearly chewing tobacco. Draw your own conclusion
It’s worth noting that I have respected and appreciated Law enforcement my entire life. In recent years I’ve personally witnessed some things that challenge that commitment. There seems to be a changing tide of late, I really don’t know if it’s the media or reality but as these things go as with any profession there are good ones and bad ones. I still cling to the belief that the vast majority are good, maybe I’m naive, maybe it’s just easier to exist that way. Whatever the case, i don’t know if these were State, Federal or Mercenary law enforcement, I suspect a blend of all three but there is NOTHING good existing here in this camp.
This wreaks of purposeful, egregious, heinous, behavior from a pack of law dogs hungry for blood. It can be followed upstream to the the residing Judge and Sheriff of Harney County, to the Governor of Oregon, the BLM officials and all the way to the White House itself. The Hammonds were made an example of as was LaVoy Finicum. An example of what the extreme and mighty arm of bureaucracy is willing to go to to simply make a point. DON’T CHALLENGE THEM!
Be quiet, submissive and compliant and they’ll feed you just enough to survive but never enough to thrive.
Dare to challenge them and they will take your rations for their own and crush you like the measly peasant you are.
I say thank God for Men like Lavoy Finnicum. Meek, kind, and caring but rock solid, firm and unyielding in his belief, a righteous belief.
This wasn’t his fight. He didn’t have to risk his life for his neighbor but he had conviction for what is right and what is wrong. That simple.
This injustice is simple to me. It is very clearly wrong. We all know it.
It doesn’t matter what evidence “emerges” at this point. We know what it is. Plain and simple.
The question is, will we be quiet, submissive and compliant or will we use our voice and OUR collective might and begin to push back. We don’t have enough weapons to take on the worlds super power nor do we need them. We have our founding documents. There may need to be skirmishes on occasion, I pray they are few and no blood is spilled but the simple fact is we all are going to die. The question is how do we want to live.
A question waiting to be answered.
A reminder that some of the photo’s are Graphic in Nature. I would even say distasteful. I chose to post them because without them there is a part of this story that will never be told and it is after all, The Truth.
This is a new page I’m dedicating to simple Truth. The simple beauty of the great Northwest we live in, the truth about what’s going on here and those who are threatening truth and simplicity with lies and corruption. Truth is always found in the simplest form and although the two can often seem elusive they are always right before our eyes if we only look.
Thank you, Kathy.
Going to look at it on facebook now.
Thanks azkathy,
I look forward to seeing you’re photo essay .
Many times I have visited scenes of great tragedy to be overwhelmed by a Truth that is beyond written word or photographic imagery.
Yours is such a revelation..
Send me a friend request please.
Check out Article, - # 15 , Map at # 21 , and # 31 .
Thanks, azKathy.
Waiting for the Fedbots to swarm this thread and others like it, telling you how vile Bundy and Hammond and Finnicum are/were and how they all should lose their ranches. And the Oathkeepers, their freedom. 5-4-3-2...
No account. I was thinking the OWO was public.
What is Mrs. Benghazi/Killary’s and Senator Reed’s families’ “interests” in ALL this???
Please count me in, thanks !!!
And they are just getting started.
