LaVoy Finicum's Last Ride (with reference links), page 1

posted on Feb, 3 2016 @ 08:26 PM

link

This is the first of a series of articles about the events surrounding the investiture of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge administration buildings by a group headed by Ammon Bundy...

It is written from a perspective very sympathetic to the Occupiers; indeed, the author describes one of the Occupiers, Ryan Payne, as --

...an old friend and fellow board member of the Operation Mutual Defense (OMD) Advisory Board.

After describing a recent visit to the Refuge, he begins describing events that fateful afternoon with the departure of Bundy, Finicum and the rest from the Refuge to meet with Sheriff Palmer, in a neighboring county. It's a fairly detailed account of the known events -- according to the author -- with some minutiae, some helpful details, and some conjecture. But no new critical information.

By "helpful," I mean those little things that round out the whole picture. Helpful for me at least. Things like:

Vehicle #1, the lead vehicle, LaVoy’s white 4-door pickup truck, contained Robert “LaVoy” Finicum driving, Ryan Payne at shotgun, and, from driver’s side to passenger side in the back seat, Ryan Bundy, Victoria Sharp, and Shawna Cox. Vehicle #2 contained Mark McConnell, driving his brown 4-door Jeep, with Brian “Budda” Cavalier at shotgun and Ammon Bundy in the rear. This was the position of all of the people as they left the HCRC, and the position of each until they left their respective vehicles...

Or this, which is the first I've heard exactly how the occupants of the vehicles were instructed to "surrender:"

Vehicle #2 pulled over in response to flashing lights and sirens. Those who pulled over Vehicle #2 identified themselves as FBI HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) with a loudspeaker. They then instructed the driver to exit the vehicle and walk toward them, hands on his head. He approached them, he was instructed to lie on the ground, head away from them, and “low-crawl” back to them, where they disarmed him, cuffed him and patted him down. The same procedure was then addressed to the man in the back seat (Ammon), and finally to the man in the front seat (Budda), until all three were “secured”.

The author does not cite or attribute individual sources for any of the information offered. It seems to be compiled from many sources. I recognize much from the video descriptions/analyses I've read, and from witnesses that we've already read/heard, and more that I have not heard anywhere else yet. So I cannot and do not vouch for all of it. I have not, for example, heard the most recent Shawna Cox interviews, nor others. Perhaps someone who has heard all the witness statements/interviews can confirm or deny this? Perhaps someone has other information to confirm or deny something in this? And of course please share any other thoughts and observations regarding any new info -- even if it's just new to you!

For easy reference and/or comparison, these are links pertinent to the discussion, including all of the witness statements/interviews that I can find. I believe Shawna Cox has done two additional interviews to the one I have linked. If you know of others and leave a link, and if I catch them in time, I'll add them to the OP. It might also be nice to add one of the enhanced and zoomed FBI videos if anyone can recommend a good one.

You're welcome.

I'm planning to use this as a reference thread for myself, and will keep adding links in comments as this goes along, so others can use it for reference also.

With mining interests moving in, I wonder how the local population will greet that mess?

I wonder too. There have already been some grumblings about it, especially because of reports that uranium mining has tainted water sources elsewhere. Both from residents and from environmental groups.

I guess we'll find out.

Indictment Details Charges Against Ammon Bundy, Other Militants

Occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge "by force while using and carrying firearms";

Warned the Harney County sheriff of "extreme civil unrest" if their demands weren't met;

Brandished and carried firearms inside the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and "prevented federal officials from performing their official duties by force, threats and intimidation";

Threatened violence "against anybody who attempted to remove them";

Traveled to Harney County, Ore., "to intimidate and coerce the population ... in order to effectuate the goals of the conspiracy."

(I can't help but note that the BLM and other feds have been accused of virtually every one of these "charges" against the people.)

That's what has come out in that thread so far, and I think that was most of the meat and potatos that were going to come with it. I may do an update of what else comes up in there eventually, but I may not need to, as that may end up comprising the major substance of it. We shall see.

Where's the link to the report on the outcome of the trial in which the officers who shot Mr. Finicum were found guilty of murder again?

I can't seem to find that here.

Wow!!! Thank you. That was a lot of work -- very impressive. I knew there had been a lot of information posted on the various threads, but I had no idea how much. And this is great that you mined it all for this thread. I've probably read much of it, but I'll have to read through again and see what I missed.

And for anyone looking for information, this will be a gold mine of information!

Thank you again. I appreciate this!

Thank you for that ATS link (and links). I'm going to have to read that one again after something I read recently in USA Today, that Michele Fiore blew that up way bigger than the fire chief intended, in that the Fire Chief did not mean that FBI were deliberately posing as militia guys, but that the townspeople believed they were militia guys. In other words, the FBI guys did not tell anyone they were from the militia, or represent themselves as militia; but they definitely were not identifying themselves as FBI.

It might seem like an insignificant point, but it also seems that Michele Fiore has exagerated and misrepresented other facts in this situation. For what purpose I do not know.
