Makeshift Memorial Springs up on Oregon Highway for Rancher

BURNS, Ore. — Jan 31, 2016, 4:42 PM ET

About a dozen people paid their respects Sunday afternoon at a makeshift memorial that has sprung up where rancher Robert "LaVoy" Finicum was shot and killed by police last week on U.S. Highway 395 north of Burns.

The mourners wiped tears, prayed, and laid a copy of the U.S. Constitution on a large wooden cross that has been planted at the site.

The site is also surrounded by American flags and signs, including one that says "RIP LaVoy Finicum. A True American hero."

The mourners at the makeshift memorial Sunday included Brandon Curtis, a founder of the Pacific Patriots Network, which is demanding the removal of law enforcement officers from Burns.

"We've had enough," Curtis said. "This stops now."

1. Time for a dumptruck full of manure.

That would be a fitting tribute.

2. Time for a drive out there...

...to leave my own "memorial."

5. A bag of Cheetos, a blue tarp,

and a 15 inch pocket rocket.

7. Perfect!

Buying the latter's going to be fun, too.

"Um...it's for a memorial."

"Uh-huh..."

"Well, actually, a satirical memorial."

"Uh-huh..."

"Er, okay, can I get two of those?"

"Cash or charge?"

9. 15 inches ?

Wow! Your pocket must be worn out.

3. You're trying to capture federal property and telling the Feds to go home

Delusional dingbats.

4. I wish I could drop by and leave my own memorial for that great patriot.

6. I would leave a YOOOOGE dildo at the site. Curtis is right...

We the People have had enough of this militia bullshit and it's time it stops.

8. He was a rancher like your Midtown waiter is an actor. Finium's main income was from Catholic

Charities which paid him as a 'therapeutic foster parent'.
