150 Terrorists invade Oregon

It's over. They were barely clinging on before. They were requesting everything from food to French creamer. Soooo manly.

Laws are laws! This country is a country of laws and justice. It's not Afghanistan where everything goes

Lol at you thinking this is over.

More of people like them are just going to come now. Both sides are idiots, and honestly, the Bundy's are the most calm of the right wingers there. Now the actual lunatics are coming. Yay.
 
I'm not buying that - consider the source: Lisa Bundy, Ammon's wife as he apparently called her from the back of a police car. He stated that they shot him when he was surrendering and when he was on the ground was shot more times.

What's more believable: that he refused to surrender and made an aggressive move where law enforcement had to shoot or that the feds, who wanted to have no bloodshed for obvious optics, just said '**** it, let's light this fool up.'? Nonsense.

I won't be the least bit shocked if the feds and police had five cameras out there at the stop from multiple angles - they came prepared with ample components for evidence and eventual prosecution, make no mistake about it. The days to come will probably cement this.

None of the stories I've read can corroborate this.

And yes, given his public statements that he'd die before he went to prison, it's far more believable that he was fighting for his life and not surrendering.

Could he have been surrendering? Yeah. Is there anything he said in the past that makes us believe he would rather die? Absolutely.

All the eye witness accounts are that his hands were up and he stated that he was unarmed. Granted those eye witnesses are other militiamen that got arrested, like the Bundys.

But the police have not released any info.

It is very interesting to me to see different peoples takes on this as opposed to other cop shootings. just in general on here, FB, in public... I see a lot of 180s lol.

Agreed. Almost makes you think it was staged.

I don't think it was staged per say but I do think that they were openly daring the police to do something. They were in a federal vehicle stationed at the refugee. One militiaman had already been arrested for that. So it was an open challenge IMO. I don't think they planned on anyone dying though.

Idiots.

It cuts both ways. How many people who take lightly cop shootings of blacks are now up in arms about this one?

For the record, anytime a police officer uses deadly force when it is not warranted, it is at a minimum a tragedy and at worst outright murder and the officer should be held accountable for it as appropriate. Even if the person unjustly shot/killed is a 'dumb *** right wing whacko bird,' or some 'hoodie wearing hopper,' who 'had it coming to him.'
 
I just typed out a long response that got deleted right as I was hitting send. Will try to compose it again later. Had nothing to do with the topic specifically, but rather political correctness in America (nauseating).

We're waiting...

It absolutely goes both ways. I in now way indicated that it didn't. My post was meant to mean people on both sides are doing 180s.
 
You have received a YouTube video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wA18O_6dgw

That's the account from the 18 year old girl who was with Lavoy at the time. Interesting that the guy, in the first car, who was arrested said he wasn't shot with his hands up and if you weren't there then to shut the **** up, although he admittedly didn't see the shooting. Is the girl making things up?

Waiting for more info.
 
I wanted to know more about what actually happened during the arrest, as well as something about the people who were still hold up at the refuge. So I came across this, after first learning the driver of the second car had given a statement that Finicum charged the cops. The same article portrayed one of the remaining occupiers.

https://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2016/01/ohioan_david_fry_prepared_to_d.html

The article referenced the occupiers youtube account. And one video in particular. Took awhile, but I found it. I wanted to hear for myself if what was written above was accurate. I saw all I needed to see to know these ain't my kind of guys...

I questioned if I should post that clip the occupiers posted earlier today. By its nature, it's disturbing. But what we see there is out there in America today. I fully agree with the sheriff who said "this can't happen here". No, it can't, because these are sick people. Talk about anger management. I'm glad I came across that article. I don't want to see people die, but I have no empathy at all for this level of anger and hatred. Maybe not everyone in that group is reflected in this guy's feeds from there, but he's not alone there, either. This is a cancer if this idiocy is typical. I don't know enough about the militia movement, the people within the anti federal government movement. But I know a sicko when I see one. It's a shame this psychology, this mind set is festering and simmering in our country.

I wanted to see them better, and now I have. But if the mods want to take down the youtube video posted, I can understand that too. But there they are, in all their demented splendor.....

How can that guy say that when he admittedly, in his own youtube video, says he didn't see it happen? That said, smh at the other guys in those links.

How can you believe an 18 year old who was laying on the ground with bullets flying over head. How could she see anything? Right now people are just making stuff up without really knowing. The reality is that when you go around making statements that you are willing to kill and be killed while ignoring law enforcements request to leave land that isn't yours, then stuff like this can happen.

Are you asking whether I believe her or just in general?
If I were to bet, she's exaggerating a dramatic experience and influenced by others to a certain degree. The thing I'm interested in knowing is whether it was 3 bullets as being reported or 120 she guessed. Lavoy's body alone should have more than 3 bullet holes according to her.

No I wasn't saying you, just in general. My point nobody knows the truth there is just a lot of speculation going on. Both sides are going to believe what they want to believe but in the end these guys overplayed their hands.
 
You, Stoked, and Game.

Pretty disgusting that you folks turn against law enforcement because you agree with this idiot's politics. Funny how law enforcement lives only matter when blacks are being killed. But as soon as one of your dumbass redneck confederates are killed, suddenly law enforcement sucks, they're murderers, they're evil bla bla bla

Sorry, but if Bundys and the ilk want to start another civil war I'll gladly pick up arms and defend America with my life. I love my country and by damned I won't let idiot terrorists take it over.
Can you point to a single post in this thread that says anything remotely similar to what you are implying that these people said. You are coming off as a left-wing wacko who will say absolutely anything to advance your agenda, regardless of the facts. The fact that you wanted a violent end to this is just bizarre to me.
