I never knew LaVoy Finicum. The first time I had heard of him was during the Malheur Refuge take over in Oregon. I watched how the situation was going on because I saw a similarity between Waco, and Ruby Ridge.
LaVoy Finicum was a rancher, cowboy, American, and family man. On January 26, 2016, he was murdered in cold blood by the FBI. The only thing he wanted was to be left alone to support his family and his way of life. A way of life most of us envy.
The government had other ideas. He was shot in the back with his hands in the air. There is no one denying this happened just like that. There are videos of what happened. The killers are not even arguing that fact. What they are saying is that it was a justified shooting.
Whether you ignore all else about what led up to this or not, when you shoot a man in the back and he has his hands in the air it is murder pure and simple. Even if LaVoy had killed someone himself, and he never did, it would still be murder.
For a long time, the Occupy Movement has been causing trouble, blocking roads and blocking buildings. The black lives matter group calls for the murder of police and whites. Muslims in this country tell us they will kill us if we do not convert. The feds do nothing about those people.
But in Oregon, a man and his friends occupy a government building that had been closed for the season and he is a danger. Maybe since he was a white conservative they figured he was a danger.
No hostages, no stolen goods, not blocking anyone from their daily business, and all of a sudden this man and his friends were extremists. Most of the information from news agencies labels them as such. The government definitely labels them also.
Were they a threat? No. Was anyone in danger? No.
They did represent a threat to the way the government has been treating all of us. By threat I mean that they would not bend down and lick the hands of "officials".
When I found the Finicum family on Facebook, I had to stop and think about if I wanted to "friend" them or not because of the government. How sad is that? That tells us a lot about how far down this country has gone.
LaVoy, thank you for your service and Rest in Peace.
