These people had harmed absolutely nobody.
Waco II
Insane!
are you saying it was a ‘hands up don’t shoot’ scenario?
FBI ambush with witnesses saying he was out of his car without a weapon and they murdered HIM....
THE UNDERLYING ISSUE IS THAT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS NO RIGHT TO LAND AFTER A TERRITORY BECOMES A STATE AND THAT HE ONLY LEGAL AUTHORITY IN SUCH A CONFRONTATION IS THE LOCAL SHERIFF....
PLUS BLM AND THECURRENT ADMINISTRATION INCLDUING OBAMA ND HILLARY ARE SELLING THE MINERAL ASSETS TO FOREIGN CORPORATIONS... CASE IN POINT URANIUM ONE WHO ANT THE LOAND THE PROTESTERS ARE DEFENDING....
I wish they would litigate this and get a SC ruling to stop these confrontations.
“law enforcement stopped two cars carrying standoff leaders on their way from the refuge to a meeting in Grant County”
Was it a trap?
The article says that’s being claimed.
But NO ONE had been shot by these people. No one had been molested.
Their crime, as far as I can tell, was living in an unoccupied forest fire shack in a park.
Their real crime was opposing the federal land grab that has been ongoing for decades. The Constitution does not give the Federal government authority to permanently hold lands.
One of the Bundy brothers had been livening in Emmett, ID for one time before this...where I live.
The Bundyâs and others were trying to drive to John Day Oregon this evening when they were stopped by the FBI and the Oregon Highway Patrol.
Gunfire ensued...with some reports indicating that the Feds initiated the shooting while Lavoy Finicum, who was shot, was trying to negotiate a surrender, but that is confirmed.
Both Bundys were taken into custody,. LaVoy Finicum, was killed and another member of the group wounded.
This happened about 15 miles from the refuge.
I am wondering what motivated them to try and drive to John Day? Were they on back roads? Were they trying to avoid a larger confrontation? I heard that they were going to a another meeting there.
Time will tell.
It was an unnecessary confrontation. No one was being harmed, and the only way their fire fighter’s shack would be needed would be in the case of a forest fire. And there were none.
Except this time it's real. Don't expect any BLM*-type protesters to show up, or the press to report the truth. Except the UK press, of course.
* Black Lives Matter, not Bureau of Land Management
Jeff, if you are close to the story in any way, it would be very helpful to share whatever you find from time to time.
This really strikes me as totally unnecessary on the part of the feds.
Yes it was.
IIRC one of the arrestees saw it happen and got the word out.
Sounds more like an ambush than a trap. That “A” word appears to be appropriate in context of the now-fuzzy facts of what occurred... Did they run a stop sign or not wear their seatbelts to warrant a “stop/execute” operation?
Waco III. Waco II has been claimed by the biker shootout.
So, where’s the Media? No breathless reporters “raising questions” about a protester dying at the hands of “militarized” law enforcement? Where’s Obama? Where’s Megyn Kelly?

God bless that American patriot, damn this government.
I agree Waco Redux. The Government will justify the death as necessary. The sheep will continue in the bonds and the Tyranny will march on—unchanged. So long as the slaves have bread —and circuses the Pax Romana will hold.We lived a long time a nation of free men but have chosen to die by suicide.
I despise this government.
Of the bosses, by the bosses, and for the bosses.
Step out of line and you will be ridiculed, arrested in the middle of the night, or killed.
Say it isn’t happening in America
I agree, Flyer. The ‘breathless media’ is part of the oligarchy.
Tyranny.
Our government owns half the land in the entire nation, could open it up to a new migration that would VASTLY expand the power, wealth, and influence of the USA.
They could swap food stamps for land and a tractor, and the enterprising would take them up on it, and instead we get them selling mineral rights to China via a discredited Clinton Secretary of State.
Amazing that we put up with this.
