The occupation of a remote wildlife refuge turned violent yesterday when federal agents stopped two vehicles carrying protesters to a town hall meeting in John Day, Oregon. Victoria Sharp, a passenger in one of those vehicles, has reported that federal agents opened fire on the group without provocation after conflicting and confusing demands for the protesters to surrender. Sharp reported that shots were first fired at Ryan Payne as he complied with orders to show his hands out of the window of the vehicle in which she was riding, but that the shots missed. Payne was calling for police to not shoot, as there were women in the vehicle, and exited the vehicle, asking that the women be allowed out.
At this point, LaVoy Finicum, one of the spokesmen for the occupiers, who was driving the vehicle in which Ms. Sharp was riding, yelled out the window that they were going to go talk to the sheriff (at the meeting in John Day), or that agents could just shoot him. He told the passengers to get down, and drove forward, precipitating heavy gunfire from the agents, and crashing the vehicle into a snowbank.

The government is out of control and lawless. It needs to be reigned in and brought to justice, not fed and expanded.

Because they don't have to lie. The media, the justice system, the politicians, the governor - they will all lie.
It's like taqiyya to Muslims...it's their duty to lie to further their cause. You can't believe a word any LEO says about the situation, either on US 395 yesterday, or the alleged threats being made in Burns. It's all a friggin' lie!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I had another cynical thought- we now have had 3 presidents that have fed cops killing citizens- there will be no repercussions from this one either.
Just another dead citizen -
To the regime, some folks are more equal than others..
If ALL Americans took your coward's advice, and just went home, there soon wouldn't be an America to go home to.
McConnell was not a witness to the shooting. End of that story. However there were witnesses. So maybe we learn what happened, maybe not.

we all need dash cam pros to fight these assholes.
Yes other witnesses told McConnell what happened. That’s what he said in the video anyway.
McConnell saw LaVoy take off - saw the wheels spinning when LaVoy jumped out.
McConnell stated, not hinted, that he did NOT witness the shooting. Anything he has to say on it is hearsay. There are witnesses. One says he had his hands up when he was shot and then shot three more times when he hit the ground. I don’t know if that witness is reliable or not but if her story is corroborated by anybody else some bad juju went down. I will wait on that.
So he asked for it? Is that what you’re saying?
What happened is a consequences of a series of choices he made. Different choices would have has a different outcome.
