Oregon Standoff: Federal Land Grab vs. the Sagebrush Rebellion
The occupation of the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon by a small group of armed protesters represents a new and confrontational tactic in the Sagebrush Rebellion–the decades old struggle of Western ranchers against federal control of state lands. While the majority of rancher disputes are against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) the US Fish and Wildlife Service has been just as ruthless–in this case expanding the wildlife refuge at the expense of neighboring ranchers. This week I’ll detail the struggle of the Hammond family, and of Ammon Bundy the protest leader. When you read the litany of federal abuse of ranching families, you will better understand why some ranchers are staging an armed resistance. I also give some suggestions on how this can be resolved peacefully.
The continuous criminal enterprise continues to slaughter Americans , perpetrate treason against the Constitution while the narcotized populace pick their collective noses and propel and avowed socialist to the Whitehouse.
For shame
Lavoy was trying to pull out a gun and murder an Oregon State Trooper when he was shot.
I don't give a fiddler's **** what you think of your 'Sagebrush Rebellion'. When you start trying to kill cops, you can go **** yourself. Lavoy is exactly where he should be based on his own actions.
Maybe and maybe not.............I'll wait for the autopsy report.........it appears it is possible he was getting hit already in slow motion................
Lets see, swore he wouldn't go to jail, refused to surrender to a lawful warrant for his arrest, resisted arrest, led the cops on a high speed car chase, tried to run a police blockade, and then reached for a 9 mm handgun in his pocket.
Twice.
The evidence is on one side of this issue.
My sympathies are with the Oregon State Trooper and his family. Taking a human life is going to be with that Trooper for the rest of his life. HE's being called 'evil', 'treasonous', having 'murder in his heart', with militia head jobs calling for 'vengeance'.
All because the officer wouldn't let a criminal thug running from the law draw a pistol from his pocket and murder him in cold blood.
**** Lavoy Finicum. That wanna-be cop killing piece of shit should rot in hell.
You can take your 'SageBrush Rebellion' and shove it sideways up your ass. Trying to murder an Oregon State Trooper just robbed your movement of any semblance of moral high ground. Calling for law enforcement officers to be killed by the 'militia' still at the Refuge told us all we need to know about your ilk.
