I'm willing to bet there were two dozen dashcam running along with body cams on every LEO on the scene to cover their ass.

And they all will be off.

the one who died was raising 10 kids not his own this speaks of his character they left under white flag.

White flag???? Nah, I don't think so.

"Finicum, the occupier killed Tuesday, had said he'd rather be killed than arrested.

"Absolutely ... I have no intention of spending any of my days in a concrete box," he told NBC News. "There are things more important than your life and freedom is one of them," he said. "I'm prepared to defend freedom ""

So the "Patriots Without a Cause" finally got gotten? That's a shame. I was just getting ready to head down to Hoosier National Forest to start my logging bidness. Plenty of federally owned trees to cut down and sell, and they'll grow back.

Lest we forget, he also left behind some cheetos, dozens of dildos and a 55 gallon drum of lube. RIP to a true patriot.

Those brave occupiers left behind at the bird sanctuary have issued a statement.

It will be VERY interesting to see if film footage of the arrest is ever seen by the public.

maybe, but honestly I doubt it. These guys were probably armed, and once LE tried to take them down, if they resisted they'd be fair game to engage.

 

[traderdan]

"if they resisted"...

 

[Kutnupe14]

"if they resisted"...

Which includes a LOT of leeway. They are, after all, considered felons. The rhetoric they put out, combine with their actions, especially by the one member that is deceased allows less considerations by LE, than your typical person.
But then again, now the militia movement has its "hands up, don't shoot," instance.

The felony charge of "conspiring to impede officers of the .gov from discharging their official duties" charge is something they had to dig very deep in the books to pin on them... I'm not a supporter of theirs, but I am also not a supporter of anyone dying when they don't have to. He seemed like a very well-liked and even tempered guy, it is a shame, regardless of what happened.

Yeah, but you know they'll find a way to do the chant with no rhythm whatsoever.

Lol, I tried to rep, but couldn't.

I don't think Finicum was a bad guy at all. He was very eloquent and soft spoken. I hate he had to die, but I honestly think he probably made the choice, not LE, not to be taken into custody.

When such a man has to die, doesn't it speak more to the depravity of our own gov't than anything else? If I am to be judged by the company I keep, I would rather associate with him than the powers-that-be in our gov't. This is not necessarily to say that the LEOs had another choice, but damn

No. A good man (and I think Finicum was a good man), is not necessarily right in the issues he is willing to die for.

I see where you are coming from...I know that if wishes were horses we would all be eating steak, but I wish that some sort of negotiated end could have come from this where both sides could save a little face and claim they gained something from it all. Also, please see the sentence I added for clarity in my previous post, not that it changes your central point at all though.

I don't see this turning into any kind of "movement."
