In my home state of Oregon. This is an update for Friday Jan. 29, 2016. The video released by the FBI says it all. Robert Finicum drove a truck who stopped & waited for 3 full minutes before speeding away in an escape. There were other militia leaders in that truck. Finicum tried to turn left to get past a road block, but got stuck in a snow bank. Finicum jumped out, raised his hands as Oregon state troopers approached. He reached into his left pocket twice for a 9 millimeter semi-automatic gun. He was shot dead by a trooper.
All of this was recorded from a helicopter above the road blocks on highway 395 near Burns, Oregon. There are still 4 militia hold-outs camping at the Halfuer National Wildlife Refuge. 11 protesters are in federal custody. 40 occupants were inside the refuge when FBI set up road blocks earlier in the week.
All Finicum had to do was surrender, but he fled authorities in that truck. He died for a cause that was never going to succeed. None of these men & women are from the state of Oregon.
