re: #304 Obdicut

Who said that he thinks he’s Jesus? I haven’t seen that reported yet.

Oh yeah, he’s totally bonkers…

An Idaho man charged with firing an assault rifle at the White House believed he was Jesus and thought President Barack Obama was the Antichrist.

That’s according to court documents and people who know 21-year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez of Idaho Falls. When reached for comments, Ortega’s mother said she didn’t have anything to say. She earlier told the Post Register that her son has no history of mental illness. The mother of Ortega’s former fianc says that Ortega told family he believed he was Jesus Christ and that the world was going to end. An Idaho Falls computer consultant says Ortega told him that Obama was going to put GPS chips in children. Earlier this week, U.S. Secret Service agents confiscated a recording that was addressed to Oprah Winfrey. In it, Ortega talked about some of his beliefs.

Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez/Accused Shooter, “We were never given a choice on what to do about this oil crisis. We were only given one choice, and that was to fight, or war. There is still so much more that God needs me to express to the world. It’s not just a coincidence that I look like Jesus, I am the modern day Jesus Christ that you all have been waiting for.”

Ortega was arrested Wednesday in western Pennsylvania. He faces life in prison if convicted.
