ants Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I've learned a long time ago that the opinions of what most people think isn't worth worrying about Then why do you come to this site and respond, often with name calling? And I think you meant "the opinions of most people aren't worth worrying about" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr VJP Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Anyone notice how rioters and looters can destroy private property, or a business that took someone years of sacrifice to build, and not get shot, or even arrested, while some guys can occupy some piece of Federal property, without doing anything else, and get killed by federal agents? Does anyone else see the government attitude here? Do you believe the government is applying equal justice under the law? When did an offense committed against the government become more worthy of criminal consequences than crimes against citizens? Don't overlook the fact the government actually made excuses for the crimes against civilians, while viciously condemning the occupiers on "their" land. The moronic masses that aimlessly follow the government agenda don't have a clue what sheep they are.

shawnhu Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Only way to clear this debate up is to show dash cam video with sound. Right now everyone is speculating. I have watched the video 5 or 6 times and his arm movement seems weird. Could he be grabbing at a gunshot wound? That makes sense. Could he be going for his gun? Maybe that too. Although I will say if someone already has a gun pointed at you, you are stupid to think you can pull a gun to get a shot off. Also, if he was going for a gun, why didn't he come out of the truck shooting? To many unanswered questions with this whole thing. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk Same could be said about someone fleeing from authorities that has a helicopter, roadblock, multiple agents pointing guns at you, and likely screaming to get down on the floor. Yet, he seamed to ignore all that, and did what he did anyway. Was he really the sharpest tool in the shed?

Why did the Federal Government feel it was necessary to put Finicum in that position in the first place? It wasn't their only option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems Again, there were other options available to the Feds. They chose to create a scenario where some form of violence was almost assured. When I first bought my property I had problems with raccoons. I put out a bait pile for a few nights and when there were a dozen or so coming in regularly I set up and killed one. The others never came back. I did it because I didn't want them on my property and I had to teach them a lesson. The Federal Government believes they have sent a message to The People of this country about who is in charge. I believe they've misjudged the situation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, they tried to stop him on a traffic stop to ask him how his day was going, but he ran and resisted, you know, like drug dealers and rapists and felons, and well, someone that has something to hide. For your raccoons, you could have used a trap, kind of like what the Feds might have been thinking. But I guess when an animal gets violent, humans generally dispatch them. Right?

X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems Armored vehicles, helicopter surveillance, and snipers at two different roadblocks for a "traffic stop"? The two vehicles were headed for a meeting in neighboring Grant County, the Sheriff of which had told the FBI in no uncertain terms that he would not go along with their actions and that they had no jurisdiction in his county. Finicum knew that if he made it past the roadblock and into Grant County he and his passengers would be safe. He didn't account for the second roadblock. Despite what you've probably heard there is a great deal of local support for what these folks are doing. Harney County residents are renewing their effort to oust the corrupt Sheriff Ward and Judge Grasty from their 'ruling' positions and calling on their Governor to take back control of their State land. People in neighboring Grant county are showing tremendous support for Harney county residents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FBI has complete jurisdiction anywhere when they are investigating a federal crime, No matter how many ways you keep trying to spin this in order to place the blame on others these right wing militia criminals have no one other then themselves to blame for their criminal actions. As for your claim that people in Harney County are supporting these criminals and looking to oust the sheriff I would like to see where you gathered this info from since everyone else is reporting the complete opposite. And maybe the Government is sending a message to any other fools who are thinking about doing something similar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr VJP Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yeah, the government gets real upset when you challenge them. When your life or livelihood is threatened, not so much. They'll show up to draw the chalk outlines around the bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptown Redneck Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 OK woodDICK Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions. So therefore woodDICK, being the FBI is federal it would have jurisdiction over the local sheriff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat junkie Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Junkie, I assume you are agreeing with my post that the government will do nothing to protect private property and businesses from protesters, rioters and looters. I'm saying don't point at black people thinking they are getting preferential treatment. When large numbers of people are out of control, it's a tough situation to deal with. If you think that black people should be arrested (or worse) for rioting because of their (sometimes valid) perceptions of police brutality, then people rioting over the winning or loosing of sporting events should earn the very same treatment. As far as the shooting in Oregon? When a person that is known to be armed has vowed to not be taken alive, and that person reaches inside of his jacket where a shoulder holster would normally be slung, that person should expect to be shot.
