First - I'm sorry Mr Finicum is dead. I think that's what he wanted - he said as much - but I'm hoping Mrs Finicum and all the little Finicums find good ways to get past it.
Meanwhile, we might have some fun watching as these militia rubes fall to squabbling internally due to the rumors (aka: bullshit) and false reports about how Finicum was killed.
These nuts maintain a diet rich in paranoid conspiracy and an awful lot of 'em are absolutely determined to believe anything they're told as long as it fits the framing of "Gubmint always bad - Camo Goobers always good."
Makes me wonder what happens now that "two of their own", Mark McConnell and Melvin Lee, are saying 'calm down' and 'let's be sensible' and 'what you've heard about the feds murdering Lavoy isn't true', etc.

If their own guys are seen as failing the "purity test" (which of course was never clearly defined, because it can't actually be defined because who the fuck died and made you the fuckin' pope?), factional splits get real big real quick, and they get to runnin' in tighter and tighter circles chasing each other's tails, and before ya know it, they disappear up each other's assholes. (sounds like a certain political party don't it?)
It's nice to think the rest of these Y'all-Qaeda cells will just disintegrate and reabsorb. And some of that should happen - there are some people in this "movement" who can think, and generally, when those people are shown that some of the folks in positions of leadership are very obviously bug-fucking crazy, they tend to split. And if they really can think for themselves, they'll know the fight's over; they lost; and they were on the wrong side anyway.
There's also some probability that the remaining Goober Leaders are trying to figure how best to use Finicum's death.
"See? The Gubmint is big and dangerous. If we're gonna win this thing, we have to fight smart. Lavoy Finicum didn't fight smart. Lavoy Finicum is fuckin' dead now."
Lotsa moves left to play out. This shit ain't over.
