Finicum was part of a convoy headed Tuesday evening from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to the John Day Senior Center, where the armed militants apparently intended to set up a Committee of Safety as a form of shadow government ahead of a possible armed takeover of federal land in Grant County, Oregon.
State Rep. Michele Fiore (R-Nevada) and the Bundy Ranch Facebook page shared similar accounts of Finicums fatal shooting, each claiming the rancher had been shot with his hands up while his friends were arrested.
But thats not exactly what happened, according to two eyewitnesses who each posted their first-hand accounts in Facebook videos.
Damn those pesky fact thingies

These idiots are trying to have it both ways.

he was shot charging law enforcement and they didn't blame law enforcement.
He died as he lived: stupid.

believe the truth or not.
I wonder how many will choose not to and act on that.
When I say America haters, I dont mean that to be antagonistic.
America is a government, they hate the government, someone tell me if I have it wrong.
