There are still a bunch of people at the refuge afaik. I wonder how they'll respond to their leaders getting captured/killed.

I'm gonna guess not well but they'll get talked into leaving now that they know they can't just freely roam around any longer.

Unconfirmed (but importantly not satirical) reports are that the dead guy is LaVoy Finicum.

That's right. LaVoy is the guy under the tarp. I bet New York liberal media elitist Seth Meyers feels pretty bad about now.

Huh. After his first night under the tarp he said he thought about it and he didn't want to die. I guess you can't always get what you want.

Reports I'm hearing is that LaVoy had his hands up in the air, and was shot 3 times and killed. Ryan Bundy shot once in the arm, and Ryan Payne shot multiple times. Also reports of gunfire around the "compound"

Somehow I have problems believing anyone here is ok with the Feds shooting a guy with his hands in the air surrendering...

All kidding aside, I don't think anyone here wanted this to end in dead bodies on either side

There must be something in their culture that made them not follow the officers instructions.

Lol if LAS is actually pulling that report from a Facebook feed. Maybe that's what happened, but the government giving these guys free reign for weeks and then just deciding to murder people seems a bit unlikely

Since he thought the government was acting like tyrants for not paying out a judgment that the Court of Appeals threw out I'm inclined to be a liiiiittttle bit skeptical on his rancher related hot takes

I'd be surprised, but not shocked, at a cop just shooting an unarmed man whose hands are raised. I would be shocked at Y'allqaeda immediately surrendering without a fight, and that's what leads me to doubt that account.

2. of course no one is ok with that. Of course we're not going to believe that happened based on nothing.

FYP.

What I am hearing is the 2 Ryan's put up a tussle, but everyone else surrendered immediately.

But the source is secondhand from Michele, and I have no reason to believe ATM it is inaccurate. But it could be.

Nevada whatever.

Point is she couldn't possibly know that unless she was there. She tweeted that out like 20 mins after the news broke.

Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore said that Ammon Bundy called his wife, Lisa Bundy, from the back of a police car on Tuesday night. Fiore, a vocal supporter of the Bundy family, said that Ammon Bundy told his wife that Finicum was cooperating with police and had put his hands up. Then, Fiore said, Bundy told his wife that he watched police shoot Finicum three times. She said that Ammon Bundy also said Finicum was on the ground when he was shot.

I absolutely would believe a cop getting jumpy and shooting unnecessarily, but unfortunately, Jayhawk, y'all done spent the last 4 ****ing years telling us how understandable it is to shoot black people when a cop(or neighborhood watchman) gets scared.

So you don't get to turn that hypocrisy charge around quite that easily. If that tweet was from @deray about a black kid you'd be pretty ****ing skeptical.
