Well, it's still 26 January 2017 where I am and I feel the need to get a statement out on this, the first anniversary of LaVoy Finicum's murder.

LaVoy was one of the very finest men I have ever known. "Finest" meaning he was compassionate, spiritual, fair, firm, articulate, patient, loving and fiercely patriotic.

I believe with all my heart that LaVoy has educated more people in the ways of the Constitution and caused more patriots to sit back take a hard look at their individual attitudes and activities than probably any other one man. LaVoy Finicum's name was and is probably as well known in the patriot community across the country and, in fact, around the world as George Washington's.

LaVoy did his best to emulate Christ in everything he did and it showed. He had that glow about him that is only present on exceedingly righteous and spiritual people. LaVoy was loved by everyone that knew him and is now loved by many thousands of people that have never even met him. LaVoy's teachings, personality and attitude manifest themselves in his amazing wife and family. Watching this family should make most all of us sit back and reflect on our relationships with our own families. I know it sure has had that effect on me.

Comparatively speaking, I didn't really know LaVoy that long but I was incredibly fortunate to be able spend quite a bit time in his home with him and his family and a good bit of one-on-one time with him both at my home and his and out at his ranch.

All that being said, I also have to tell you that LaVoy had his faults. He was guilty of sharing his unrivaled knowledge of the Constitution and all that goes along with it. Particularly on land rights. He was caught red-handed spending countless hours educating all that would listen to him. Be assured that many, many people listened to LaVoy. For that, my friend and brother was sentenced to death.

LaVoy was executed because he was capturing people's hearts and minds. He was making multitudes of people aware of their rights. Enlightening them about the uncontrolled overreach of certain federal agencies. The powers that be could not and would not tolerate that. LaVoy Finicum HAD to be stopped! An illegal, inescapable road block was implemented on a lonely stretch of remote highway and LaVoy, while drawing fire away from other innocents in his vehicle, was shot in the back three times by cowards. Murdered by those that have sworn to "protect and serve". Shot down in cold blood with his hands in the air in surrender.

And so the teachings of LaVoy Finicum came to an abrupt halt on a cold, snowy morning in Oregon with LaVoy face down in the snow. Or did they?

No, not even close! In fact it was just the opposite. The message of liberty and truth spread like wildfire across the fruited plains. LaVoy's name became a household word from border to border and coast to coast. They should have left him alone. The people of these united States, we the people, are on fire now. LaVoy got just what he wanted.

Few men have ever had more to live for than LaVoy Finicum. A lovely, caring wife, beautiful family and a small ranch in northern Arizona. What more could a man ask for? But a rogue, power-hungry, out of control government agency would have none of it. It all began when LaVoy rode with the Bundys then it escalated when the BLM started taking his water and trying to push him off his ranch. They awakened a sleeping giant. They pushed LaVoy into making hard decisions that would affect every aspect of his life and ultimately bring it to an end.

Be assured that myself and many, many, many others like me will NEVER forget and never forgive what was done to my dear friend, my brother in arms and my brother in Christ and his family. I loved LaVoy like a blood brother and love his family as my own.

This is not the final chapter. The people will continue LaVoy's fight and continue to spread his message.

They should have just left him alone.
