The Oregon Militia Standoff Ended In Fatality That Could Have Been Prevented

My tweet on Twitter prior to the stand off ending

The Oregon Militia standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge ended in tragedy on January 26, 2016, as I previously predicted it would in Twitter tweets, alluding to what transpired in Waco, Texas. History repeated itself again, as the FBI stormed the standoff and killed, Roy " LaVoy" Finicum, who was surrendering to authorities. Activists are angry, slamming the FBI for killing a man who was surrendering.

‘Anonymous’ video demands justice for killed rancher LaVoy, publication of FBI agents' IDs

Published time: 1 Feb, 2016 07:33 Edited time: 1 Feb, 2016 08:29 - A video which claims to be made by Anonymous is demanding justice for killed Oregon rancher Robert “LaVoy” Finicum and for the IDs of the FBI agents who shot the protester with his hands in the air to be published.

The alleged Anonymous video was sent exclusively to News2Share online media outlet, based in Washington DC, early Sunday morning by an individual claiming to be a member of the Anonymous hacker community. The professionally edited clip consists of the police helicopter footage of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum being killed by the Oregon State Police troopers, scenes of armed men occupying Malheur National Wildlife refuge in Oregon talking to the FBI agents, the leader of protesters Ammon Bundy and other footage related to the standoff. A distorted male voice reads an alleged Anonymous message to the US authorities and citizens.

The clip is accompanied by a matching transcript. The voice on the video accuses the FBI of “creating the opposite to peace” in Oregon which resulted in arrests and a murder of a protester killed “in cold blood, as his hands were in the air.” The voice also urges Anonymous to “engage” and spread the video among associates. “We do not call for violence, or armed uprising. We call for Anonymous members to spread this fight online.”...

“We want the identity of every agent who fired their weapon that day. We want justice for LaVoy. We stand with Ammon Bundy,” the alleged Anonymous video says, making parallels with the case of Michael Brown killed by police in Ferguson in August 2014...

15 Dead In Tragic Texas Plant Explosion (Video)

A fire and explosion at the West Fertilizer Company in West, Texas killed at least 15 people and leveled many homes yesterday. Over 160 people were also injured and reports indicate rescuers are still searching for survivors of the blaze, as many have been reported missing.

The Associated Press describes West, Texas as, "A flat farming community 20 miles from Waco" with "2,800" residents. This incident is another reminder of the potency of fertilizer, which has been used in many makeshift bombs by terrorists.

When Police Raids Go Wrong

Ayanna Jones

The recent death of 7-year-old Ayanna Jones is a terrible reminder of what happens when police raids go wrong. Proper pre-raid investigative work and due diligence were not utilized, as a child was residing in the downstairs apartment of the duplex that contained an upstairs unit the police sought to raid.

As a result of this massive criminal negligence, little Ayanna, who was asleep on the sofa of her apartment, was burned by a police incendiary device that was thrown through the front window without warning and shot in the neck by a police officer.

One cannot ask for a more poorly executed raid than this, as a child was in essence, accidentally executed. Her family has every right to be enraged, as the scenario that unfolded was completely preventable and stemmed from recklessness, carelessness and negligence.

There are cases of police raids gone wrong, which were properly planned and executed. It is particularly regrettable when one makes one's best effort to protect human life, but the worst happens in the form of casualties.

Botched FBI Waco raid shows fire burning inhabitant cult members, including children and babies

However, some law enforcement raids suffer from horrible planning. For example, years ago, the botched FBI raid in Waco, Texas that left 74 people dead, including 20 children, during an intense 50 day standoff against David Koresh. It was another case of poor planning and a reckless disregard for human life.

As was the FBI's raid at Ruby Ridge that left several people dead, including children and the pet dog. FBI snipers executed an entire family, including a 16-year-old girl, Sara Weaver, who was running away from them, shooting her in the head, which is inexcusable.

To this day, both Ruby Ridge and Waco are heavily disputed, with many blaming the FBI for not exercising proper caution and using unnecessary deadly force against adults and children.
