Services were held yesterday in Kanab, Utah, for LaVoy Finicum, one of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupiers. Finicum was shot and killed last month during a confrontation with law enforcement near Burns, Oregon. The FBI has released video of the fatal encounter.

In an effort to stay on top of possible violent activity at the funeral where many of the occupiers’ supporters were expected to attend, the Utah Fusion Center issued a bulletin showing signs and symbols associated with “extremists” and “disaffected individuals.” The Gadsden flag, which is primarily first associated with the Revolutionary War, and more recently with the Tea Party movement, is prominently featured. It has also been used by US Soccer supporters, The American Outlaws.
