Funeral to draw large crowd in support of Oregon occupier

The funeral for the Arizona rancher killed by law enforcement during the armed occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge was expected to draw supporters Friday from around the West to a small Utah town.

Authorities shot Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, 54, during a Jan. 26 traffic stop after they say he reached for a gun in his jacket pocket. His supporters called it an ambush after Finicum and others took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and demanded the federal government relinquish public lands to local control.

His death inspired a call for like-minded followers to come to Kanab, Utah, for his funeral. The day's events, billed as "LaVoy Finicum's Stand for Freedom," include a visitation and funeral, followed by a memorial horse ride to a local middle school for a benefit concert.

The events could draw up to 1,000 people, including many from Kanab and the nearby towns of Fredonia and Cane Beds, Arizona, where Finicum lived, said Sgt. Alan Alldredge of the Kane County Sheriff's Office. Others are expected to come from Nevada and elsewhere in Arizona.

9. Will there be surveillance so all the terrorist's sympathizers can be identified?

Isn't that how the FBI keeps track of other terrorist groups, like the student protests in the 1960s and 1970s and the anti-war movements since 2001? They send out crews with cameras, video and photograph everyone then identify them and put them on watch lists. Today with facial recognition software it's easier than ever!

shindig you get to show up for. When you add the LDS to the mix, its a very solem occasion to wave the flag. And talk cattle futures and hundred-weight prices. All the drinking will take place in the pisser and the parking lot. Spent about twenty years in Arizona married to a Mormon who's family was into the "white horse" prophesy.
