Yesterday

and "you're gonna have to shoot me", and then reached for his area of his jacket where his loaded 9mm handgun was.

This was after a 41 DAY illegal, armed occupation of federal property by him and the Bundy bunch.

Cops finally shot him after giving him chance after chance to comply and he died.

I guarantee you most of these same exact people who are sitting here fronting for these ICE officers were INSISTING back in 2016 that the Federal authorities had no right to shoot this man, called him a martyr, etc.
