You'll never believe the latest LaVoy Finicum meme

[jmowreader]

I got a letter to my paper today...the writer said LaVoy "Blue Tarp Man" Finicum wasn't reaching for a gun. Rather, he was unjustifiably shot by the police and was reaching down to put his hand over the entry wound.

All together now...BULL SHIT!

1. That's not how getting shot works.

You don't just stand there and look down at your wound. This isn't Hollywood where a dramatic pause for the wounded hero is exaggerated. This is real life and in real life, once you are shot, you drop.

[juxtaposed]

5. you know that is not true..

[flamingdem]

6. You can see it happen in the helicopter video

1. reaches for waist
2. falls to the ground

They don't miss their mark.

[juxtaposed]

8. -=-

get a life.. beyond tin foil hats

[flamingdem]

10. But you took the position of tin foil hatism

[juxtaposed]

11. still,,lol

And this took a lot

[flamingdem]

13. Hmm, I see...

[flamingdem]

2. It took them this long to make up that story?

[jmowreader]

3. Some of them claim to have analyzed every frame of the video

Problem is, with no sound we'll never hear Tarp Man screaming, "YOU MOTHER FUCKERS I'LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!"

[flamingdem]

7. Except in the movie

that I'm sure that same group is making.

Or at least they are fundraising for the Lavoy was Murdered feature film.

[dmr]

12. Are they really? A movie?

Good grief.

This should really be made by the Coen brothers.

[flamingdem]

14. I'd love to see it, there will be made for TV docs

but a real movie, maybe in Panavision would be great a la Tarantino "The Hateful 8".

16. They can always give the job to Oliver Stone.

He completely botched the actual history behind JFK's murder, Jim Garrison's courtroom farce and of course blamed "the Jews" for critical comments of his "history" show.

[flamingdem]

17. Somehow I missed that movie though I've seen most of his other ones

Thanks for the heads up about what he does with the material.

20. Don't Avoid It

As a pure movie watching experience, JFK is ok. There are things you'll have to either take witha grain of salt, or ignore entirely from a historical perspective. But, just watching it as a movie, i rather liked it.

[Bluenorthwest]

21. JFK is mostly fact, it's the story of Jim Garrison, not the story of JFK nor of his murder.

It's about Garrison, and Garrison's mindset and point of view serve as stand in for the national qualms and questions about the death of JFK. Yes, the film is called 'JFK' but very obviously JFK is the central character, it's not a film about him, his life, his day when he was shot. It's about Garrison trying to come to terms with the event.

The film never even claims to be showing 'what really happened' it talks about what Garrison thought and how he got to that conclusion.

Anyone telling you it is all wrong or made up needs prove to you that Jim Garrison did not exist. The film is about him. Not about JFK.

A film about a character who thinks the world is flat is not necessarily a film which is stating 'the world is flat'. That seems obvious to me.

4. Give it a year or two.

By then it will have evolved to, he looked down at his wound, looked back up at the murderous cop, yelled Freedom! at him before the cop shoots him again.

[Egnever]

19. No, I heard this the day the video was released.

[moondust]

9. Why didn't BTM

simply get out of his truck and give himself up at the first roadblock where he sat for a long time--like any sane person who valued their life would do?

[brush]

15. There you go. He did run a roadblock, which just added to the list of crimes . . .

he commited.

Then gets out of the truck after ramming his truck into a snowbank as he attempted to go around the second roadblock.

No one with any sense gets out of the car during a stop unless the LEOs tell you to. Then he reaches into his jacket . . . come on, he may as well have just asked to get shot.

23. Because LaVoy Finicum had told his followers he couldn't deal with life in a cage

IIRC it was very poetic; he talked about getting up in the morning, going outside and feeling the soft breezes of freedom blowing across his face. He could not imagine any other way of life, so he vowed the police would never take him alive.

The only way I can reconcile Finicum's actions with reality is, when he came to the first roadblock, he decided to just drive around it and disappear into the fading sunset. (Please disregard him being on a northbound road. This is Beauty, not Reality.) Unfortunately for him, the cops established the second roadblock in an area where the snow alongside the road was too deep to drive through; when the truck he had stolen came to rest in a deep drift, he lost his reason to live.

There's no conspiracy here, my young friends; Mr. Robert LaVoy Finicum, hero of the unpatriotic "patriot" movement, committed suicide.

18. That is not the latest meme It is the first attempt to create a murder narrative fifteen minutes

after the vid was posted on militia media

No autopsy evidence public or private has yet to be published

[randome]

22. He was holding his jacket open with his left hand and reaching for the gun with his right.

Looks very clear to me.

24. His family did an autopsy. If there would have been a wound on the left

Side they would have let the world know, instead they would not release the findings to let this crap keep going out.
