One dead, Bundys arrested after confrontation with FBI on highway

KATU - Live report breaking news Bundy arrest 1-26-16


HARNEY COUNTY, Ore. — One person is dead and several others, including Oregon occupation leader Ammon Bundy, were detained following a confrontation with the FBI and state police Tuesday night.
It all began with a traffic stop while Bundy and some of his followers were en route to a community meeting in John Day, about 70 miles away.
Shots were fired after FBI agents, Oregon State troopers and other law enforcement agencies made the stop on US Highway 395.



Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, Brian Cavalier, Shawna Cox and Ryan W. Payne were arrested during the stop. Authorities said another person, Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, 45, was arrested in Burns.
They're all facing federal felony charges of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties, through the use of force, intimidation or threats.
One person, who was the subject of a federal probable cause arrest and has not yet been identified, died during the confrontation.
CNN is reporting it's unclear who fired first.
The arrests come on the heels of the 24th day of the refuge occupation.
Bundy and about three dozen of other individuals occupied the wildlife refuge earlier this month after two local ranchers, the Hammonds, were sent to prison for setting fires on federal land.

The Hammonds served no more than a year until an appeals court judge ruled that the terms fell short of minimum sentences requiring them to serve about four more years.
Ammon Bundy said he prayed about the matter and "clearly understood that the Lord was not pleased with what was happening to the Hammonds."

Bundy told KATU News last weekend his group had no intention of using their weapons, "but we have them, and we're willing to stand with them in our own defense as we exercise our rights, and as we restore our rights back to our brothers and sisters."
Around the same time, KATU News spoke with Harney County Judge Steven Grasty, who expressed his worry regarding the situation.
"Somebody will do something stupid," Grasty said. "If it goes south, it'll go south because Mr. Bundy or his friends started something."
Gov. Kate Brown had repeatedly asked for assistance from federal authorities regarding the occupation in the days leading up to the shootout.
Several men have been arrested for various traffic infractions during the occupation, but none of them were directly related to the refuge occupation.
In March 2014, Ammon's father Cliven Bundy was at the center of an armed standoff with federal officials over grazing rights on government land. Federal officials backed away from seizing the Nevada rancher's cattle, but the dispute remains unresolved, and the Bureau of Land Management says the family has not made payments toward a $1.1 million grazing fee and penalty bill.

Loooooong overdue. If they had been "Black Lies Matter" activists, or Muslims, they'd have been ordered to surrender, then shot in 1.8 seconds if they didn't "comply."

Ammon Bundy, other protesters arrested in Oregon; LaVoy Finicum killed

Authorities arrest leader of armed siege; 1 killed

Story highlights

• Protester Jon Ritzheimer has turned himself in to police, the FBI says
• LaVoy Finicum was the person killed in the arrest, a law enforcement official says
• Shots were fired, but it's unclear who fired first

(CNN)Ammon Bundy, leader of the armed protesters who took over a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, was arrested and one of his followers was killed in a highway traffic stop Tuesday.

A law enforcement official told CNN that authorities pulled over two vehicles. Everyone obeyed orders to surrender except two people: LaVoy Finicum and Bundy's brother, Ryan Bundy, the official said.
Shots were fired, but it's unclear who fired first, the official said. Ryan Bundy was injured, but Finicum died, the official added.
Finicum was one of the most outspoken occupiers who took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns on January 2 to protest federal land policies.
Earlier this month, he said he'd rather be killed than arrested.
"Absolutely ... I have no intention of spending any of my days in a concrete box," he told NBC News. "There are things more important than your life, and freedom is one of them. I'm prepared to defend freedom."

In all, police arrested eight people linked to the armed siege Tuesday: five in the traffic stop on Highway 395; two others in Burns; and one in Arizona.
The five arrested at the traffic stop were Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, Brian Cavalier, Shawna Cox and Ryan Waylen Payne.
The two arrested in Burns were Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy and Peter Santilli.
And protester Jon Ritzheimer, who previously made headlines for leading an anti-Islam protest in Arizona, turned himself in to police in Peoria, Arizona, FBI spokesman Kurt Remus said.
All eight people arrested face a federal felony charge relating to their occupation of the refuge: conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats, authorities said.
"It appears that America was fired upon by our government," the occupiers said on the Bundy Ranch Facebook page. "One of liberty's finest patriots is fallen. He will not go silent into eternity."
The Bundys' father, controversial Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, spoke to the Los Angeles Times after his sons' arrests.
"I have some sons and other people there trying to protect our rights and liberties and freedoms, and now we've got one killed," he said. "All I can say is, he's sacrificed for a good purpose."Ammon Bundy and others started out protesting the sentencing of Dwight Hammond and his son Steven, ranchers convicted of arson on federal lands in Oregon.
But a march supporting the Hammonds led to the armed occupation of the refuge, with occupiers decrying what they call government overreach when it comes to federal lands.
On Tuesday night, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said the siege is still ongoing.

"The situation in Harney County continues to be the subject of a federal investigation that is in progress," she said. "My highest priority is the safety of all Oregonians and their communities. I ask for patience as officials continue pursuit of a swift and peaceful resolution."

Militia Lives Matter

if these guys were black, the idiots of libtard nation would be blaming society, racism and police brutality for this sequence of events

Al Sharpton would be getting buses to transport unemployment libtard nation into the region to have a protest march

"The least prepared man in the room" would say "every black American has been the victim of racism"

it's how idiots roll





as for me, just like the overwhelming majority of black victims, their actions brought it upon themselves

Loooooong overdue. If they had been "Black Lies Matter" activists, or Muslims, they'd have been ordered to surrender, then shot in 1.8 seconds if they didn't "comply."

Yes, because examples are just numerous and non-stop where Black Lives Matter idiots and Muslims are gunned down by the FBI! Note that we are at example 4,017 of you being 100% incorrect and in the opposite of reality.

But let’s leave aside your idiotic assertion and note the hypocrisy here. You, in a fit of incoherent rage, regularly take to the Internet to screech about police brutality, yet here you’re clapping for the FBI killing someone while releasing no details. Meaning, you have no idea what happened, are (allegedly) against police brutality, yet are cheering when law enforcement kills a citizen.

You are so fucking dumb it is beyond parody.

Of course the resident sewer rat is cheering this on by bizarrely asserting these people are “terrorists.”

You can’t even make up who fucking dumb these people are. You just can’t.

Glad this scum terrorist got his wish granted.

The fact that you would type this shows a sickness that is just surreal. As I said before, the world will be a better place when you die and I sincerely hope it is a long, cancer-riddled and painful death. You're just utterly disgusting.

Lying WELCHING Ace just doing what he do, and his Butt Buddy POS Terrorist Suppoorter Dave, who never met a terrorist he doesn't support, affirming it. I seem to have missed all the Sick Cult members, and the normal people who agree with their right wing thoughts decrying their wish of cancer upon me. What a shock.
It's always a good day when the world has one less terrorist, so thanks to whatever Gov't LEO who shot this scum. :toast:
