I once saw a guy with a guy fawkes mask and I asked him why he felt that instituting a Catholic theocracy would really be that good of an idea.

Investigation into LaVoy Finicum death concludes, results to be released Tuesday


Officials will announce Tuesday whether state troopers were justified in fatally shooting Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, a leader of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.

Finicum, 54, was killed as police tried to arrest key figures in the refuge takeover. His death on Jan. 26 spurred claims that police acted without provocation, with some labeling his death a murder. The FBI has said Finicum was shot after he tried to elude police and reached for a gun.

The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office investigated the shooting, recently turning over results to Malheur County District Attorney Dan Norris. He was asked to oversee the investigation by Tim Colahan, Harney County district attorney, to provide an independent assessment. The shooting occurred in Harney County.

A news conference is scheduled Tuesday in Bend to release the results of the investigation. The sheriff's office hasn't released the time and place publicly, asking media to send an email to the office to attend.

The announcement is expected to provide more details about what happened in the operation conducted jointly by the FBI and the Oregon State Police.

The FBI already has issued one statement and an aerial video without audio of the confrontation. It shows officers approaching Finicum and his collapse in the snow. Finicum was carrying a loaded 9mm handgun, the FBI said.

Two witnesses involved in the police stop contested some points in the FBI description of what happened. Finicum's family has said his death wasn't justified. Finicum ranched and cared for foster children on his ranch outside Colorado City, Arizona.

His widow, Jeanette, has scheduled her own news conference in St. George, Utah, for Tuesday afternoon.

The shooting occurred as a Jeep and truck carrying occupation leaders drove north on U.S. 395 to a community meeting in John Day. About 20 miles outside Burns, police stopped the Jeep carrying Ammon E. Bundy, 40, of Emmett, Idaho. Bundy was the main leader of protesters who seized the wildlife refuge headquarters three weeks earlier. Also in the Jeep were Bundy's bodyguard, Brian D. Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada; and the driver, Mark C. McConnell , 37, of Buckeye, Arizona.

Police also stopped the pickup driven by Finicum and carrying Ryan C. Bundy, 43, of Bunkerville, Nevada; Ryan W. Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Montana; Shawna J. Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah; and Victoria Sharp, 18, of Lakeside, Montana. Ryan Bundy is Ammon Bundy's older brother.

The three in the Jeep surrendered to police as did Ryan Payne. The FBI video showed that Finicum then sped away from the traffic stop, crashing into a snow bank after encountering a police roadblock. The FBI later said he was shot by state troopers when he reached into his jacket for the handgun.

The Bundy brothers, Payne, Cavalier and Cox all were arrested on a federal conspiracy charge. McConnell and Sharp were released without charges. Sharp has since appeared regularly at rallies and other events in honor of Finicum and has spoken out against federal authorities. McConnell returned to Arizona and has continued to participate in a self-described patriot group, according to a recent Facebook post.

McConnell, Sharp and Cox all have recorded their own accounts of the traffic stop, which have been widely shared on social media. Cox also detailed the events of that afternoon in an interview with The Oregonian/OregonLive.

Initial claims by witnesses that Finicum was shot while he was surrendering with his hands up spurred virulent reaction in social media posts. Sharp has said Finicum was shot repeatedly and that more than 100 rounds were fired into the truck where she and the others were cowering. FBI officials have said officers fired flash-bang devices and sponge projectiles with pepper spray capsules at the truck.

Law enforcement officials have yet to release autopsy findings on Finicum's death. His family said it commissioned a subsequent private autopsy but hasn't released the results.

So can anyone draw all over this document?

Because I'm guessing the sovcits didn't mark their own document with "So much crazy" and "cannot proofread, too crappy".


EDIT - good lord, the more I read the crazier it gets. This is incredible!


DOUBLE EDIT: everyone should read this - or try to. The insanity levels are off the scale.

And every single bloody jpg is horribly compressed; almost beyond the point of readability in more than a few cases. Do these loons do that deliberately? Every time I read something made by a crazy person there's guaranteed to be a poorly compressed image file in there somewhere.

There was a press conference about the investigation into Finicum's shooting. The interesting thing is there's cell phone footage from inside his truck and there can be no argument that he was egging on the police to shoot him. I wonder what the conspiracy people will say about it.

Looks like the press conference has gold fringed flags in the background. Since clearly this press conference isn't about maritime matters, it's completely illegitimate.

I've been completely confused by the rhetoric used by LaVoy and the rest of the patriots during the occupation. They keep saying they're peaceful and that they're only going to fire in self-defense while doing whatever they can to provoke law enforcement. It's like some kind of weird, ineffective protest version of waving your finger in someone's face while shouting, "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!" Well yeah, you're technically not, but nobody is going to charge me with assault if I kick your rear end for shoving your finger in my face.

they're convinced the government is evil and wants to slaughter them at the first opportunity given the slightest chance, and they're trying to goad the government into doing it because then they'll be right.

FBI agents under investigation lying about firing at Finicum's truck.

Looked like they fired two shots at the truck as it sped toward the barricade. Pretty dumb thing to lie about (if they did), those were probably justifiable shots.

Which is great, because most constitutional scholars agree that most of the Founding Fathers were as close to atheist as one could get without being burned at the stake.
