(Overly negative, ad hominem attacks, and other such comments will be removed. Do not waste your time.) 

At the request of producer, William Wagener, I travelled to Las Vegas to get this short interview with Shawna Cox, who was riding in the back of the vehicle the day Lavoy Finicum (was he unarmed?) was shot and killed by federal agents at a blockade/ambush.  I had a mere 20 minutes of time to talk with Shawna, so here is the entire interview.

I may have misspoke, assuming LaVoy was unarmed.  After reviewing the helicopter video footage I can't tell if LaVoy was reaching in his jacket for a firearm, but could you blame him if he was?  Some believe that the gun "found" on his person was planted.  

In Nevada, according to federal court records, Bundy quit renewing his BLM grazing permits in 1992 – and quit paying the grazing fees. Could these records be in error or have been doctored? they are now claiming over $1M is due. Seems like too exorbitant of a number to be authentic. A federal judge ordered him off the BLM land, but a second federal judge ruled last July that Bundy's cattle continued munching away on the allotment and were trespassing on other federal land in Nevada.

Years of conflict between Bundy and the BLM boiled into view last month, when the federal agency moved to round up and remove his cattle. Bundy has steadfastly maintained the federal government doesn't own the ground and he has historic rights to graze.

Would you say that the government is overbearing, or is the Bundy Ranch out of control?
