These are notes from the meeting I attended tonight where family and friends of LaVor Finicum told their experiences concerning the events of the killing of LaVor. Any misrepresentations or inaccuracies are the fault of the note taker.
LaVor as well as other ranchers had been occupying part building to protest overreach by the government and the BLM. A private video was released by the local police that showed that LaVor was killed while his hands were up which conflicts with the silent video posted by the FBI that indicated that LaVor was not shot until he reached for a gun.

House Bill 276 was passed. The current governor of Utah had the capability to scratch out certain lines in the bill such as those referring to justice management being handled by the government rather than local authorities. Gov. Herbert made no changes in the bill and passed it as is. He could have made changes.
Here are some of recommendations given by the Q&A:
- You can’t give what you don’t have.
- Ask yourself, do you have repenting to do? Use your agency appropriately. Make changes in your life so you can be more virtuous.
- Was the gun that was on LaVoy’s person stolen? Someone that did not have a gag order said no
- The reasons that the ranchers went to Oregon is that they didn’t like how the Hansons were being ignored with their pleas for the government to pay attention to their concerns. The ranchers went Oregon to get more attention.
Advice to us as an audience:
- Children the Constitution, they can’t defend it if they don’t know it.
- Don’t go anywhere without a camera.
- Asked why?
- Write letter sent to those who are incarcerated. They are discouraged and would appreciate emotional support.
- The first casualty of war is truth
- Be a people watcher. There are provocateurs who intentionally infiltrate a group to disrupt it and to give it a bad image. They may be a plant.
- Don’t be stupid.
- We do have the right to protect property and liberty.
