This guy is completely off his rocker

Here’s one of the head cases currently involved in the standoff at the Malheur Widlife Refuge in Oregon, John Ritzheimer, previously known for organizing menacing armed demonstrations at mosques, taking a selfie video in his car as he prepares to drive to Oregon.

It’s basically the right wing equivalent of an Islamist martyr video.

It would be one thing if he actually did go and blow himself up (without harming anyone else) but he’s going to do suicide by old age.

So, just how many boxes on the “religious terrorist” checklist do these dunderheads have to check off before the media will feel comfortable referring to them as such?

They do, sadly. Although there are exceptions if they’re foreign, i.e members of groups like the IRA. Yes, folks, there was a time in America where the media was unafraid to call white Christians terrorists…just so long as they were overseas.

What a total dillweed. Abandons his family during the holidays to go and battle imaginary demons in a straw world of his own creation. His delusions have caused him to harm those closest to him and he does not even know it.

I have known guys like this. Really, really dumb and overly emotional about nonsense. One of them ended up in a situation where he took hostages at gunpoint and ended up in prison for a long time. Now that I think about it - most of them actually ended up in prison.

Oops. I used to collect beer cans. In Boy Scouts we went to Hamfests after hiking tick-infested trails in Indiana. Usually the Hamfest folks had lots of Schlitz cans for sale, so the BSA fathers would reluctantly buy six packs to drain so that we could have the empties for our collections. Anyway, I may have owned that Point can at some point.

Bill would lift protections on some historic effigy mounds

Landowners could excavate and possibly develop some of the surviving Indian mounds of Wisconsin — many dating back more than a millennium — under legislation by two lawmakers.

The bill from Sen. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) and Rep. Robert Brooks (R-Saukville) would shift the balance of state law more toward private property rights and away from the preservation of one of the state’s unusual features.

The earthen burial mounds, shaped like bears, deer, panthers, birds and people, can stretch hundreds of feet in length or width and are one of the most enduring forms of art in the state. It’s been estimated that 80% were plowed under or otherwise destroyed to make way for farms and buildings, and those remaining sites that are cataloged are protected from disturbance by state law.

Copying this over here from the last thread, because, as usual, I was late for the funeral.

Charles P. Pierce (with some info I was unfamiliar with on the Wise Use Movement): (bolding mine)

This is an act of armed sedition against lawful authority. That is all that it is, and that is quite enough. This is not “an expression of anti-government sentiment.”… This is not an “occupation” following “a peaceful protest.” That would be all those folks who got bludgeoned and pepper-sprayed out of Zuccotti Park a couple of years back. (And when exactly did ABC News decide it wasn’t a news organization anymore?)

These are men with guns who have declared themselves outside the law. These are men with guns who have taken something that belongs to all of us. These are traitors and thieves who got away with this dangerous nonsense once, and have been encouraged to get away with it again, and they draw their inspiration not solely from the wilder fringes of our politics, either. Ammon Bundy and his brothers should have been thrown in jail after they gathered themselves in rebellion the first time.

This is another step down the road that leads to the broken shell of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City…

It did not begin in Burns. It did not begin on the Bundy Ranch, either. In its most modern form, and in the form most relevant to recent events, it began, as so many noxious elements of our politics did, with the Reagan Administration. It began with a man named Ron Arnold, and a Secretary of the Interior named James Watt, and in something called the Wise Use movement…Its philosophy ran in poisoned tributaries to all points of the political compass until it gathered itself into a great reservoir of toxic fantasy, and that is where the essential compact of the United States of America was encouraged to break down.

It does us no good to deny that there is a substantial constituency for armed sedition in this country, and to deny the necessity of delegitimizing that constituency in our politics, and the first step in that process is to face it and to call it what it is.

And, in related news, of course, Tamir Rice is still dead.

It’s actually the name of a Book of Mormon hero, who was at first opposed to the church but then was converted miraculously and became a great missionary. I’m sure that’s where Ammon Bundy’s name comes from.

James Watt was a fundamentalist Christian weirdo who managed to insinuate himself into the highest levels of government at a time when the general public was still either unaware that these cults existed or thought of them as illiterate throwbacks from the darkest reaches of flyover country. At the time, fundamentalist penetration of the middle class had actually been growing by leaps and bounds for over 20 years, but it was well below the media radar. Watt managed to do a great of damage at the DoI and the effects of his baleful tenure are still very much with us.

It’s another blatant fabrication cooked up by Stephen Miller, that was repeated apparently yesterday by Trump. Miller has deleted his tweet.

re: #79 Shiplord Kirel

A controversy erupted after a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in September 1983, when Watt mocked affirmative action by making the following statement about a coal leasing panel: “I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent.”Watt resigned within weeks of making this statement. In 2008, Time magazine named Watt among the ten worst cabinet members in modern history.

Wow, what an asshole.

re: #74 b.d.

So they stopped claiming that the video was fake then?

And I guess that ‘Clinton campaign made the video’ angle is right out, too.

re: #79 Shiplord Kirel

James Watt was a fundamentalist Christian weirdo who managed to insinuate himself into the highest levels of government at a time when the general public was still either unaware that these cults existed or thought of them as illiterate throwbacks from the darkest reaches of flyover country. At the time, fundamentalist penetration of the middle class had actually been growing by leaps and bounds for over 20 years, but it was well below the media radar. Watt managed to do a great of damage at the DoI and the effects of his baleful tenure are still very much with us.

He also got the Beach Boys kicked off the annual DC mall 4th of July concert for a while (for being too hairy? too drug addled?) until Ronnie brought them back.

Edit: according to this Watt claims he had never even HEARD the Beach Boys…he was just anti-rock.

re: #53 Targetpractice

I figure it’s one or the other. I lean towards his being a liar, but he could just as well be one of those skinheads who got in because the DoD was so desperate for warm bodies that it couldn’t afford to be picky.

When you need cannon fodder, beggars can’t be choosers.

re: #71 Charles Johnson

As I recall, their first attempt to help Trump was to say that Huma Abedin put al-Shabaab up to producing the video at HRC’s request because, you know, she’s Muslim, therefore she’s a terrorist who has ties to members of every Muslim-inspired terrorist group on the planet. I’ve stopped expecting them to take responsibility for anything because taking responsibility is something they work hard at avoiding.

Watt sounds a lot like Dees, the guy who became Carson’s campaign manager. Dees has a military background seems to think that every problem in America is due to us not embracing the kind of Christianity he embraces.

Hahahahaaa. It’s a hard knock life for ‘lil Johnny Ritzheimer.

And let’s not forget that, among Ritzy’s greatest hits was his trip to arrest Debbie Stabenow.

We are planning on driving through Texas to link up with more Marines and Patriots and then heading North towards Michigan. We are planning on arresting Senator Debbie Stabenow, who voted yes to the Iran Nuke Deal. She will be arrested for treason under Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution.

After we successfully detain her we will continue to move across the country and arrest everyone involved with the Iran Nuke Deal. Even the President who brokered this deal.

Yeah, it’s utter bullshit.

Obvs a conspiracy. Al Shabbab obviously removed their video after they uploaded it because they noticed that some plucky conservative reporter saw a clip of Hillary in it that he somehow only took a shitty screen grab of but never thought to download the actual video itself. Also he can’t find the URL he went to because Obama’s NSA elves hacked his laptop and erased his internet history.

Yes, according to Ritzheimer, he was a Marine. I can well imagine that sane Marines are scratching their heads and wondering how this nut got into the Marines in the first place.

Well those “sane” Marines I’m sure had no problem supporting him when he was targeting Muslims in Phoenix.
