Oregon Standoff Spotlights Growing Divide on Issue of Federal Law Enforcement
Andrew Miiller | February 4

For over a month, a tense standoff between armed militia
members and federal law enforcement officers has been going
on at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. This standoff
started as a peaceful rally in support of two ranchers who were
charged with terrorism by federal prosecutors and sentenced to
five years in prison after fires set on their own property spread to
the nearby wildlife refuge. It escalated as a small group of about
20 armed militia members split off from the rally and occupied
the wildlife refuge’s headquarters building.

Led by Ammon Bundy, this group of militiamen calls itself
the Citizens for Constitutional Freedom. The group originally
pledged to occupy the building until federal authorities released
the two ranchers from prison and turned over control of the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge to Harney County.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Oregon State Police
surrounded the occupied building, but no one was hurt. It was
not until January 26, when Bundy and eight others left the refuge
to participate in a local community meeting, that the first
fatality in this standoff occurred. When fbi agents tried to pull
over the two vehicles being driven out of the wildlife refuge, one
of the Oregon protesters, LaVoy Finicum, tried to evade arrest.
 
In the commotion that ensued, Finicum was shot dead and Bundy’s
brother Ryan was wounded in the arm."...

What this article does not say, and it should be a major point of contention, is that the ranchers in question were sentenced to prison after a trial and served the sentence and were released. 

The 'government' arbitrarily and with out trial decided that they should spend more time in prison and rearrested them.
We need to answer, where in our constitution is such tyrannical abuse of power authorized.

The article cited at the beginning of this post, like most government approved (censored) media do not explain is that the refuge is 20-30 miles south of Burns Oregon.  This is open farm and range land with only sparse population.  They could have had a traffic stop anywhere.

Instead the federales  allowed them to travel through Burns where they connected to Highway 395 to John Day, Oregon.

The ambush occurred in the forest, where there could be no witnesses, no cell phone video or contact to the outside world.
The official account and their video from the helicopter gun ship that was tracking the victim confirm that he exited the vehicle with his hands raised.  The victim was executed only on suspicion that he might be armed.
