Thank your good fortune for not having been born brown. Otherwise, this standoff would have lasted about 18 hours tops.

So if he “sacrificed” himself, they are admitting it was “suicide by LEO”. Like when Al Qaeda takes credit for an attack, and calls the attacker a martyr…

LaVoy Finicum was a terrorist.

How do you completely cooperate with the police/feds while simultaneously threatening to go out in a blaze of glory rather than be arrested after a three week armed occupation?
If he had been completely cooperating with police, he would have been arrested three weeks ago unless the police just didn’t want to arrest him then and changed their minds just recently?
Do these people actually listen to themselves when they talk or do they just kind of drift in and out?

Whelp, if anyone else wants to be martyred, I say oblige them.

“Arizona slaver LaVoy Finicum became a martyr literally overnight.” There. FIFY.
Sierra Valley had an operation like that a few decades back. Some religious nutcases bought a small ranch, built a bunkhouse, and took on a dozen foster kids. The parents got money from the state, the foster kids did all the work, and charitable members of the community gave them warm clothes when the snow began to fly.
Happily an astute teacher caught on to the scam and alerted the authorities.
Happily, also, they actually paid for the land, unlike this creep.
Cowboy. Fsss. Almost all his income came from the state. In our corner of Sagebrushistan he would have been scorned and shunned.

They tried the same thing with David Koresh. Then time passed and people kept laughing at them.

Since these are the same people that support BiBi, shouldn’t we borrow a page from Netanyahu’s book and go bulldoze his house? After all, that’s supposed to help with terrorists.

Gandhi. King. Mandela. Finicum.
All four belong on a Mount Rushmore of human rights heroes.

“Wherever there’s a cop beatin’ up a white guy who’s been threatenin’ to shoot the cop, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad that no one gives them free stuff. I’ll be in the way kids laugh at those guys, and when the people are stuffin’ the dildos they got sent and livin’ in the government buildings they stole - I’ll be there, too.”

In this corner of Sagebrushistan real cowboys wear wool caps when it is cold.
What an absurd band of dress-up clowns. They remind me of Ronald Reagan.
The wide brim of the western hat is to reduce the incidence of sunburn. Just like camouflage is supposed to make you blend into the vegetation, which is singularly lacking in the wintertime sagebrush desert.

It’s a pretty nice looking lid though. I bet it cost $100. You gotta say this about Finit-cum: he sure knows how to accessorize.
Sorry. knew how to accessorize.

I don’t support these guys (to put it mildly), and I’m not inclined to believe what they say. But it seems to me that it’s entirely within the realm of possibility that they shot him with his hands up.
