Victoria Sharp, 18, joined her Kansas family to sing at the Oregon wildlife refuge occupation
She was in the vehicle with the occupier who was shot to death
Sharp has gone on to be the focus of many patriot movement videos and broadcasts.
(Watch Victoria's Video At Link)
The pastor of the Auburn, Kan, church the Sharp family once attended speaks of Victoria, now a champion of the patriot and militia movements.
In one of dozens of YouTube videos posted this past month featuring teenager Victoria Sharp, who is from these parts, she flashes a wide smile when an online broadcaster offers to produce “The Victoria Sharp Show.”
It would play to a patriot movement audience.
“Will you please be the spokesman for our youth concerning our Constitution and our freedoms?” asked the broadcaster.
“Yes,” she said.
As for hosting a show, Sharp, 18, said she needed time to rest after her harrowing afternoon near the occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.
On Jan. 26 she witnessed authorities shoot dead one of the occupiers whose pickup truck had plowed past a roadblock.

She says she watched from the truck’s back seat as Robert “LaVoy” Finicum stepped out, raised his hands and declared, “If you’re going to shoot, then just shoot me.” Then authorities fired on him in the snow. The FBI says that Finicum, who was a militia spokesman during the recent standoff, reached toward a jacket pocket where a handgun was found.
Overhead footage shows he left the truck with hands up but then moved at least one hand toward his coat.

In the video, you can clearly see a sniper shoot Lavoy in the left side, then run to hide behind the truck... Lavoy turns towards the shooter, points at him & reaches towards the gunshot wound, when they slaughter him. Clearly it played out the way the gov't. planned... make him look like he's reaching for a gun.
The personification of evil. The BLM needs to be eliminated and the shooter needs to stand trial for deliberate murder.
President Trump: Add the BLM, ATF, DOE, et al, to your list of those agencies that need to be eliminated!
remember when the wouldn’t shoot unless shot at...
good old days.
Last week the police in Salt Lake City shot and killed a guy who was whupping up on someone with a broomstick. The days of waiting to shoot are long since over. It's become the first resort instead of the last one.
Why do this to a nice young woman? She’s 18. Let her mature her own way and time without such a spotlight. She’s not Joan of Arc with God guiding her. Give her space to be right and wrong and not vilified or glorified either way. She’s a young adult, let her grow.
Agree. What kind of parents would allow this?
Odalis Sharp attests online that her daughter has been tapped for “a very high calling. And she is a girl who is prepared for that.”
Yeah, that kind...the ones that are nutjobs themselves. Why does the above sound familiar?
“Overhead footage shows he left the truck with hands up but then moved at least one hand toward his coat.”
Whatever you say, MSM. We don’t have any reason to doubt you or the worst evidence—grainy, chopper videotape shot from hundreds of yards overhead.
In the old days, cops could use nightsticks. A few videos and firings ended that practice. They then went to tasers, but again bad press and a few deaths ended that. Now, it is legally much safer to shoot first and sort it out later, although that hasn’t worked out when video has undercut the story.
So here, they set up a situation where the video and the narrative match. (Guy said he was always armed, guy said he wouldn’t be taken alive, and guy shot when he reached inside his jacket. Gun or not, shooters should come out OK; a gun would just be a bonus.)
Let her do what she WANTS to do.
I don’t believe anyone has a gun to her head unless its the central socialist government.
I find it hard to believe that it's easier to justify using deadly force than it is to use a nightstick or Taser but what do I know?
(Guy said he was always armed, guy said he wouldn’t be taken alive, and guy shot when he reached inside his jacket. Gun or not, shooters should come out OK; a gun would just be a bonus.)
A lot of police shootings recently have been ruled justified on much shakier grounds than that.
You poor naive soul...a President Trump is going to USE those agencies...count on it.

If you would like more information about what's happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me.
I lost my Oregon list when my computer crashed last year, so please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
My son was there. And your point is.
It is a miracle that that any of them survived!
All of those Fed & State JBSTs should be charged with attempted murder. And all who shot Finicum should be charged with murder in the first degree.
And what, pray tell, will the infamous Hillary do?
You poor naïve serf to the socialist agenda!
The exact same thing....that’s kinda my point!
