Supporters of the Oregon occupier who was shot and killed in a confrontation with police can bid on a limited edition “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” Lego figure in an Ebay auction where the proceeds are said to go to his family, Fox13 in Salt Lake City reported.

According to the product’s description on its Ebay page, the 15 Legos that were custom-made to resemble LaVoy Finicum — the Arizona rancher who emerged as a leader of the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Center– are being auctioned off by his niece Jessica every 10 days or so. The proceeds will go to Finicum’s wife Jeanette, the description says. At press time the bid in the current auction is up to $155.50.

The Lego figure has also been promoted on Jessica’s Facebook page. The current auction ends on Sunday.

  4. Ebay doesn’t look kindly on that. If you bid with your regular account, you have to pay up.
