I thought one of the FBI agents actually did shoot at Finicum's truck before he stopped and they tried to cover it up.

I think one guy took one shot in panic that missed or something like that. I think the girl in the thing also claimed she heard noises that were shots.

The sovcits were trying to claim that the vehicle was riddled with bullets. Like you'd think the roadblock had guys with machine guns and two guys in the woods with multiple machine guns each firing hundreds of rounds at it. If memory serves there were literally zero bullet holes in it.

But the frightened teenage girl said there were thousands of shots going into the truck, literally THOSUANDS of shots. You calling her some kind of unreliable witness?

One of the FBI agents appears to have fired after Finicum accelerated through the first roadblock. They tried to hide it, but it was found during the subsequent investigation. This isn't relevant to the trial, though.

Thanks, Quorum, I didn't know all of that. There is another sort of claim about French legionaries? Or about the identity of who was shooting?

I guess one of the fbi or whatever agents in town during the standoff spoke some French, for whatever reason. This morphed into claims that the people arresting True Americans were foreign agents or hired mercs, I guess.

I think most of the schadenfreude and interesting stuff relating to the case is mostly over, really. From the looks of things pretty much everybody is going to jail within the month and I don't think they can do anything crazier at this point. Derails are pretty much inevitable when people keep checking in for news and find not much happening.

Then again I find it interesting that the fantasy of Finicum's death keeps escalating. Wasn't it, early on, "well the feds shot to try to disable the vehicle and failed?" Then it turned into "THOUSANDS OF BULLETS!!!!" What's next? The FBI had a tank and tried to ram them with it while firing a .50 cal at them?

Still would have been a good shoot IMO.

I thought that it was two agents that shot, and then they picked up the brass and lied to OSP investigators about it.

I'm not going to research this, but I'm guessing that any "foreign fighters" claim is an attempt to square the circle of "the people are with us" and "ow the people are shooting at us."

Real Americans are with us.
These people are not with us.
Therefore these people are not Real Americans.

This one in particular was started as "someone said one of the FBI agents was speaking words that sounded french so he must be a french spy!"

Come on, don't be absurd.....There totally was a tank but they were firing the main gun at Finicum. That's why there's a filled in hole near his memorial. It totally wasn't made by us idiots trying to make a permanent memorial with concrete and poo poo. no, that's where one of the main rounds hit when it missed Finicum's excellent dodge forcing him to drive into that snowbank. When he got out he was just checking to make sure his fly was up so LE couldn't siphon off his sperm with alien technology to make an army of super Finicums to use against us

Yeah, it wouldn't have been an issue if the guy had just admitted "I hosed up and accidently squeezed off a few rounds in the excitement." He might have gotten a reprimand on his record, but that would probably have been the end of it. Instead he tried to cover it up and flat out lied about it. Welp.

Pretty much every part of the stop is subject to some conspiracy theory.

-LaVoy was pulled over by unmarked police vehicles and it's every citizen's right to drive to a police station to confirm they actually have a warrant for their arrest, which is why he told them he was going to see the Sheriff. LaVoy straight up admits he knows he's got a warrant out for something in the tarp video.

-The officers didn't announce who they were and this was done on purpose to lead LaVoy into the "kill zone."

-The roadblock was actually a "kill zone" that was purposely set up around a curve, and there was no way the van could have decelerated quickly enough to avoid smashing through the barricade.

-The drone or helicopter or whatever that captured the aerial footage had its audio deleted to cover up the cops not announcing themselves.

-The song that LaVoy died to, A Great Big World's "Hold Each Other," has secret mind control messages that tell people to attack the police but leave them unable to grab their gun. Ok this one is fake

Wasn't the video from the interior of the truck from a camera she was holding? Essentially, the camera would have been her POV, she saw nothing largely because she was hiding in the seats and was the farthest from the action toward the passenger side.

In the interview, the CNN reporter shows her the aerial footage, and she claims to have been able to see and know things it would have been physically impossible to see and know. At least that's how I took it.

It really doesn't make sense the way the shofar has been adopted by American Protestants, no. My understanding is that they just think it's a cool Jewish thing, and hey, Jesus was a Jew right? Let's use one'a them in the Wednesday night service. I'm oversimplifying, but I'm also completely serious that for some churches that is the extent of their thought process. It's analogous to how the refuge occupiers see themselves as direct descendants of great patriots such as Washington and Jefferson, but in reality the only similarities are that they own firearms and got in a conflict with a government.

quote:

On a theological note the religious significance of Yom Kippur in atonement is more or less negated by the greater atonement for sin by Jesus' resurrection in Christian dogma. It is also an idea repeated often, with early Christians making public confessions on many dates in the year.

I can't watch that video with sound right now. From context I am understanding those are Christians with shofars.

Wasabi the J seems to be pointing out (please correct me if I'm wrong) that the role of the shofar as the call for repentance could be weakened or negated by the different roles of atonement in each of the religions.

Christians still repent though, even if atonement in Christianity has a different theological meaning, and perhaps the shofar has a different meaning altogether. What does the shofar mean to Christians? :iiam:

I studied some fundamentalist Christian groups a few years ago, and I don't remember them having shofars, but I wouldn't have asked them about that. They could have been using them for 2k years for all I know.

Edit: I am also delighted to know that Lutha Mahtin is not antisemitic like Martin Luther.
Edit2: Do they call out the trope before they use the shofar? Do they have the same names for tropes as we do? Maybe they use it as a symbol of warfare/fighting. The story of the attack on the city of Jericho, book of Joshua chapter 6, this story is super bloody is the first example that comes to mind.
