Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main arguments against the FBI setting up LaVoy Finicum's death?

The speaker argues that an FBI setup is illogical because most individuals involved were unharmed, and Finicum himself stated he would not be taken alive. If the intent was to kill, more people would have been targeted, or a Bundy family member would have been the primary target.

How does the speaker analyze Finicum's actions leading up to the shooting?

The speaker contends that Finicum created his own grave danger by charging a police barricade at high speed while armed and declaring he wouldn't be taken alive. This behavior, according to the speaker, made lethal force justifiable at that moment.

What evidence does the speaker use to refute claims about Finicum reaching for a gun?

The speaker points out that Finicum often carried on his right hip but also used a left-side shoulder holster, potentially for a 9mm pistol. He also argues that carrying in a drop-leg holster while driving is impractical, suggesting the gun would be moved for accessibility.

Why is Victoria Sharp's testimony considered not credible by the speaker?

Victoria Sharp's testimony is deemed unreliable due to her position in the back of a truck with a canopy, potentially obscuring her view. The speaker also cites the presence of flashbangs and gunfire, suggesting her vantage point and ability to accurately perceive events were compromised.
