LaVoy Finicum is dead. I have always wondered how the incitement would occur against the Mormons as they are chased from city to city as the civil war erupts in this land.
This may be the "shot heard round the world". I am not saying it will be - but this is outta control......
If I thought I could do something, I would love go down there - and may just yet. I CANNOT stand tyranny..... in any form:
It would be interesting to see if this was videotaped and whether the recording gets released. Some transparency is needed on both sides.
ReplyDeleteI do recall from Visions of Glory Spencer talked about armed American men attacking the foreign occupiers, but they were quickly annihilated. It seems like a similar result would be likely in this and other similar situations that seem certain to come in the future. Brother Finicum may be a martyr for a good and just cause, but it seems a little wisdom is in order. Hopefully they can come up with a workable strategy to ensure they don't become a group of Sampson Avard's causing more trouble than progress. That strategy must follow the U.S. Constitution that these men claim to defend, or it's a lost cause. I love the wisdom of the Declaration of Independence. It specifically and publicly states the reasons why the armed conflict was necessary. If that's what the Bundy's believe is necessary, I hope they make a similar clearly-worded statement, based soundly on Constitutional principles, to let the world know what they stand for.
