1. I'm not sure what this is

2. It's events leading up to

and including the shooting of LaVoy Finicum.

3. Well I guess he went out the way he wanted to

Glad the 18 year old girl he had in the truck with him wasn't injured.

4. AT 9:33 He pulls his pistol and is shot

So much for the bullshit story he was on his knees and hands in the air. You can see him draw quite clearly.

5. Suicide by cop. He knew what would happen if he drew on them, and it did. nt

8. "Bretzing said Finicum had a loaded 9 mm semi-automatic handgun in that pocket."

9. I don't think he actually "cleared leather"

He was slow and fumbled the draw. Too many Gunsmoke episodes for this guy.

10. suicide by cop. He had lots of chances to not die. He chose to not take those chances but try

and go out in a blaze of glory. Which failed.

11. Not to be a complete jerk, but I see the irony here

How many times do you suppose this guy dreamed of his "quick draw", where he slapped down and shot the imperial government employee? In his own mind, he was probably highly skilled and figured no cop would stand a chance when confronted with his highly practiced "fast draw".

The reality is he was slow and clumsy and died without it even being close. HE was no match for a trained law enforcement officer. Yet these fools sit around and convince themselves a bunch of them and their deer rifles could overthrow the government.

Sad, sad, and more sad...

6. Stupid people do stupid shit

and this guy pulled a stupid trick and paid for it with his life

12. there will be truthers who think this video was staged

Some of the Bundy folk involved in the crash might even insist that this video is not from the incident.
