"No one is above the law"? Is that like when you shoot a guy with his hands up who is black or white? Shooting Lavoy on his left side makes him reach for that side and then say he was reaching for a weapon on his left side? The unidentified federal law enforcement crew shoots Lavoy 8 more times just to make a good example out of him and they make sure he is good and dead. All of you people who think you have cut off the head you don’t realize they may have just created ten thousand Lavoy Finicums or more. This man would have never carried a 9mm stolen gun and he had no reason to own a hot gun. He wasn’t shot by a state Cop that is another lie as the drone’s footage clearly shows the uniformed state trooper who came out of the woods held a Taser in his left hand and he had his service weapon holstered on his right hip as he is right handed, after deploying his Taser he placed it in the snow as the AT-1 federal operators or subcontractors (No identifying patches) shot many rounds at the truck where there was two unarmed women. One of the people Ryan Payne was shot in the arm. Where is the truck? Where is the autopsy on Lavoy? I guarantee the autopsy will show a bullet hole on his left side where he reached while being shot many times. The real criminals of the world are those who try to shut you up by killing you or place you in prison for a protest or try to scare you into keeping your mouth shut when you exercise your god given 1st amendment rights like Pete Santilli the internet alterative media reporter who reported the situation. The left leaning ACLU is representing Mr Pete Santilli because even some on the left see that the feds have overstepped big time. Mr Santilli never picked up a gun or even stayed at the Refuge yet he had an opinion so he faces the same time as the people who stayed at the refuge. Have we turned into North Korea, Iran or China? We are heading that way it seems.

Blah, blah, blah..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Go back to eating your mac and cheese in your parents basement and let the grown ups speak.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!

Snowscream, your brainless logic is what is wrong with America

Give it up. Only the gang supporters believe this. It was a justifiable shooting caused by Lavoy's own actions. Get over it. I just glad no innocent persons were hurt.

Lavoy was an innocent person, the BLM are the guilty people for stealing from we the people for financial and political gain. Hammonds ranch is to be sold to the Russians.

He wasn't innocent....he made several bad choices that caused his own untimely death.
That being said, yes the BLM has overstepped their bounds (as have many other departments of government). But that doesn't justify breaking the law or putting other peoples lives in danger.

So do we, as tax paying citizens, get the money from the sale or is it the same Russians who will be paying Hillary for uranium mined from the Steens?

You do realize the Cold War is over, we won.

"Some times you feel like a nut, some times you are!"

Lavoy was right handed. He wore his holster on hos left hip or in a left shoulder holster up much higher than where he reached.

Why in hades would a right handed person keep a gun in their left pocket? Use some logic! Lavoy was MURDERED!

It appears a history lesson is in order....

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.

"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty."

— Thomas Jefferson

"An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so."

— Mahatma Gandhi

"What Hurts the People There are five things that hurt the people: There are local officials who use public office for personal benefit, taking improper advantage of their authority, holding weapons in one hand and people’s livelihood in the other, corrupting their offices, and bleeding the people. There are cases where serious offenses are given light penalties; there is inequality before the law, and the innocent are subjected to punishment, even execution. Sometimes serious crimes are pardoned, the strong are supported, and the weak are oppressed. Harsh penalties are applied, unjustly torturing people to get at facts. Sometimes there are officials who condone crime and vice, punishing those who protest against this, cutting off the avenues of appeal and hiding the truth, plundering and ruining lives, unjust and arbitrary. Sometimes there are senior officials who repeatedly change department heads so as to monopolize the government administration, favoring their friends and relatives while treating those they dislike with unjust harshness, oppressive in their actions, prejudiced and unruly. They also use taxation to reap profit, enriching themselves and their families by exactions and fraud. Sometimes local officials extensively tailor awards and fines, welfare projects, and general expenditures, arbitrarily determining prices and measures, with the result that people lose their jobs. These five things are harmful to the people, and anyone who does any of these should be dismissed from office."

— Sun Tzu (The Art of War: Complete Texts and Commentaries)

would have to agree with you. Fortunately none of these things happened in Burns. Way to go OSP, FBI and Harney Sheriff !!! Thank you!!

It helps if you have a just cause and your not just a thief, but nice quote anyway.

looks like you have educated yourself on this! and yes these things happened here and all over our nation over the same thing. don't know why people still believe this is all just in burns Oregon...ha! read up people.

Regardless of the emotion-driven irrationality of the two Bernie voters below, you are dead on point.

Lib- fantasy

And not a single one of those things happened here. So what's your point?

If you have to ask, then you wouldn't understand even if they made it into a coloring book.....

except Hillary. She's above the law.

Wall Street bankers too!

The Republicans in all their investigations of Hillary, have NOT being able to find any wrong doing on her part. The US Justice Department hasn't found any wrong doing on her part. The GOP and you still pursue the hateful smear campaign though.

The Justice Department is using 150 agents to investigate the email issue. The only other time they use that many agents on one investigation is when it is some kind of terrorist issue. And the FBI doesn't involve itself in smear campaigns. You are confusing them with the IRS.

.

Touche!

.

You're joking, right?

Excuse me!#?? Hillary has broken MANY LAWS!! Are you a total moron? - living
In a cave?!

Destruction of government data for starters. Deliberate hiding of government data, $billions missing from state dept, Benghazi deaths and her lies it was a movie, her selling 1/5 US uranium production to the Russians in a pay for play scheme... and that is just a PARTIAL list.

Name one. Hint: here's your low life criminals that need to be locked up http://www.vox.com/2015/9/3...

A Mao suit is a Mao suit, no matter the color, and it's wrong.

There is plenty of wrong doing, but no charges have happened yet............. no surprise since we have a liberal government and DOJ. They won't prosecute one of their own.

It's actually the FBI doing the investigation. Must be a different FBI than the ones who came to Burns.

Oh, there's Hillary again! You guys spend almost as much time thinking about her as you do sheep! NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT!

She likes to think so, as does Billy boy.

Except the criminal republicans in Congress that admitted they never had anything on Hillary, that this whole $23,000,000.00 + sham was always about stopper her from getting the presidential nomination. Those criminal scumbags that are above the law?

*LOL* Poor Hillary apologists. There's fewer and fewer of you and you look more and more ridiculous.

http://www.vox.com/2015/9/3...

Yep, How's that egg on your face taste?

THANK YOU

THANK YOU AG LYNCH. Lets continue to show these domestic terrorists we mean business and their menacing illegal and destructive behavior is going to be curbed while they are incarcerated, hopefully for a very long time!

please stop calling them terrorists, it just makes you look hyperbolic and uneducated

even folks like me who disagree with their intentions, realize they were just trying to protest and assemble peacefully

and lets not forget they brought a ton of attention and exposure to their cause, without ever spilling any blood

Oh yeah, we all saw him drive out their looking for the FBI snipers to ask them to shoot him. Good one Funke!!!!! I'm sure their are more people than me enjoying your lack of brain power.

None of these brave men wanted to die and shouldn't have. Finicum said he would not go into a concrete box. I can't understand such cruel statements about Mr. Finicum.

Excuse Me!! You moron!! Finicum's "choice": was to drive down the highway! - then was ambushed & murdered! !

Jeez you need help in the worst way.

For seeing and telling the truth???

Just laugh at Funke like I do. He's rather amusing.
