Victoria Sharp was the first witness to give her personal statement following the tragic death of LaVoy Finicum. She was in the pickup LaVoy was driving and witnessed him exit the vehicle with his hands in the air trying to peacefully surrender. They shot him anyway. CNN fails to mention that the vehicle was shot over 100 times with 3 innocent Americans inside. There is so much more to this story that CNN isn't telling.

There is no longer any doubt in my mind that CNN is the Controlled News Network. They lie for the Establishment, and they lie big. What I don’t understand is why people still grant them access.

I agree about the media, but I watched the video, and it was plain to see he was reaching down before he was shot. Now whether he was reaching for a gun to shoot someone is not known, but his hands went down.

This looks like a tiger hunt from old India.

This is how they killed tigers back in old India.

The hunters (the people with the rifles) would take up a position. A large contingent of elephants and people (the “Drivers”) would form a circle around the hunters and then move towards the hunters while making a lot of noise. This would “drive” the tiger towards the people with the rifles. The idea was to frighten the tiger and force it to run towards the hunters where it would be killed. A moving tiger is easier to see and kill.

Right or wrong, it looks like law enforcement was “driving” these people towards the hunters. They couldn’t get off the road because of the snow.

That said, it is completely possible that many of the law enforcement personnel would not be aware of the purpose of the operation.

Whoever was in charge needs to be looked at.

The recent statement from Lavoy’s family contains the notice that he was reacting to being shot in the side by one of the cowards who killed him.
The family also is providing for their own autopsy of Lavoy’s body.
If Lavoy’s body reveals a gunshot wound to the side, then the FBI, Harney County and the Oregon State Police will be back peddling furiously.
Regardless of the findings of the autopsy, The execution of Lavoy is a major moment in the struggle to take back AMERICA!!!!
The movement of awareness is growing!!!!!

Good analogy.

Also see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2TVFYYLP0Q&sns=fb

Sarah Redd Buck knows this family personally and this is her description of the video.
“Head, hands, and arms clearly out both driver and passenger side of truck. Up close view of first “traffic stop”. If you watch closely you see Ryan’s arms quickly go back in on the passenger side which would match perfectly the statement from Victoria and Shawna who were both in the same vehicle. Keep in mind, when their statements were released you couldn’t see his arms do this. There is NO WAY they could have fabricated this to match the video. Shots fired before the supposed “chase” and before the supposed “reaching for a gun”. This right here with witnesses who were in the car should be enough evidence.C”

I hope you're right about the awareness. It should not take very long at all to find out if he was shot in the hip(s) as has been speculated. Without audio that's all one can do is speculate.

Burns Oregon--LaVoy Points Out the Person that Takes the First Shot At Him!

Here's one I saw for the first time today.

LaVoy's Windshield Being Shot

Then there's this guy, Rick Koerber, that just put out another article today for those interested. I think he's been doing a good job.

A Rational Case in Defense of Ammon Bundy and the Oregon Occupation: Sheriff David Clarke

“There is no working things out with this federal government…I’m through waiting for the next election… I don’t want it to come to armed conflict against the federal government…and that that county Sheriff didn’t stick up for the Hammonds in this situation, against this overbearing, overreaching federal government…its a travesty. Somebody had to do something!” – Sheriff David Clarke

Just a thought - walking in deep snow, it can be difficult to maintain your balence. It’sinstinctual to move your arms to keep your balance. What was a natural attempt to keep balance may have been interpreted as “reaching for a gun” by the authorities. I would say they reacted too quickly under the circumstances.

Molly Hatchet. Good Music. Maybe awaken that southern spirit of strength, independence, ingenuity, community and a defiance to authoritarian aggression that resides in us all!! The windshield of Lavoy's truck appears to shot before the cowards opened their barrage on the truck and occupants inside. Was his truck shot at during the first ambush?

With the economy not responding to the utter desperation of the "policy makers" and their tools in the B&PF media, expect civil disobedience to multiply and with it cries for JUSTICE FOR LAVOY!!! and JUSTICE to be delivered to the cowards who gunned LAVOY down!

Breakdown of the “traffic stop” video, with only verifiable info. Unless otherwise noted, source is the drone video:

1. LEOs come up behind LaVoy’s vehicle on a straightaway and begin flashing police lights.

2. LaVoy and company stay in vehicle, LEO exit numerous vehicles with weapons drawn and pointing toward LaVoy’s vehicle.

3. (SOURCE: Testimony from 2 separate female vehicle occupants) One of the male occupants reaches out the window and shows his hands.

4. (SOURCE: Testimony from 2 separate female vehicle occupants) LEOs fire upon vehicle.
(I do not know if this is where one of the male occupants was wounded in the arm - ARM WOUND INFO SOURCE: Official report)

5. LaVoy shows agitation and begins to speed away from LEOs behind him.

6. (SOURCE: Testimony from 2 separate female vehicle occupants) Occupants are told to get as low in the vehicle as possible, and do so.

6. After a long distance, LaVoy’s vehicle encounters a curve and he begins tapping the brakes.

7. A roadblock is stationed at the curve. LaVoy puts on full brakes but does not seem to be able to stop in time, possibly because of road conditions though this is not verified.

8. LaVoy veers to the left to avoid roadblock vehicles. An LEO stationed on foot in path of the vehicle dodges to avoid being hit.

9. LaVoy almost immediately exits vehicle with both hands up and walks/stumbles toward the rear left of the vehicle.

10. LEOs approach LaVoy with weapons pointed at him.

11. LaVoy keeps hands up briefly, then reaches down to abdomen and turns back and forth erratically while LEOs are aiming at him.

12. LaVoy falls to the ground, apparently shot dead.

13. The LEOs fire stun grenades and bullets at vehicle.
(I do not know if this is where one of the male occupants was wounded in the arm - ARM WOUND INFO SOURCE: Official report)

End of breakdown.

It is evident from the shooting of the vehicle after LaVoy is shot dead that the object of the LEOs is to kill everyone in the vehicle.

As far as the details of LaVoy’s death (step 9 - 12), his reaching down could be for several reasons (THESE ARE ALL SPECULATION):

- He was hit by a bullet in the abdomen and was reaching toward the wound.

- He was reaching for a gun and was going to shoot an LEO.

- He was being told by one LEO to throw all of his weapons on the ground while other LEOs were telling him to do something else, which prompted him to try and grab his weapon from his pocket or waistband.

Unless we get audio and/or better video, we will never know the details for sure. The only thing I am almost 100% sure of is that a number of the LEOs wanted everybody in that vehicle dead.

Except we have video that contradicts that story.

I feel very sad about the death of Mr. Finicum, who had stood out as an interesting and likable character. The incident should have been resolved without killing him.

But in these days when law enforcement seems to be trained to shoot people at the least provocation, he was definitely not acting in the way that a wise person would do to avoid this fate. He had already announced that he would not be taken alive. And then he ran from the first road block, almost hit the second, and exited his car very rapidly and kept moving around. If this was not intentional "suicide-by-cop", it was still behavior that was likely to turn out that way.

At least in the video Ms. Sharp doesn't say anything about the car being shot up.

My very rural mailman who is normally in a big hurry knew all about this situation and chatted my ear off about it a few days ago.

A few dozen DC scandals ago Barky came out and said they hadn’t done a very good job on social media explaining the situation. (I’ve lost track of the particular scandal)

If you look over at sites like Oregon Live and see the overwhelming amount of comments from people ecstatic over the death of Lavoy...I think that’s what it is. Paid fake people that make ridiculous excuses for every crappy thing done by gov.

It has been suggested that he was reacting to being shot.

Without being able to hear when the shots were fired it is certainly conjecture or anybody’s GUESS as to what “triggered” him reaching accross as he did.

A witness states he was shot three times in the back including his kidneys and a shot grazing his heart.

One camera view that fails to show enough detail to quell doubt.

And I have a lot of doubt. LaVoy looked less like a guy trying to draw a pistol and more like a guy who'd gotten tagged in the side by either tazer or bullet and then got lit up by everyone else...

There is a much longer audio recording that Victoria Sharp gave prior to the FBI video coming out. I will get a link for that.

There is additional testimony from the second eye witness to speak here, Additional Shawna Cox testimony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJch_UJBbLo&sns=fb
.
He jumped out of the vehicle and said with his hands up Just shoot me then. Because there were lasers all over them and the cops were shooting as soon as they hit the snow bank.

Over 100 shots into a vehicle with 3 innocent Americans.

Good read with details MSM has not bothered to dig up.

Perfectly explains Finicim’s reactions from him “running” from first “traffic stop” to him reaching for his left side while possibly being shot at.

We don’t know yet when the FIRST shots were fired.

Also, Just like the idiot woman holding a sign saying militia go home, there are so, so ,so many granola eating left tards in Oregon. This idiots have no idea what it is to be "of the land" like Lavoy.

The injustice of Lavoy's murder, a life so valuable, a life that was part of the land and family and community stolen by cowards in a clown suits, if that injustice does not make you angry and cry out for justice, then you are not of this country ...AMERICA... or of this world. There is a place for you.....Eternal HELL!!!!
