Ammon Bundy, the leader of an armed seizing of a federal wildlife refuge in rural eastern Oregon, was arrested and one person was killed Tuesday afternoon in a traffic stop in rural Oregon, the F.B.I. and the Oregon State Police said.
Seven other people, including Mr. Bundy’s brother Ryan Bundy, were arrested, the authorities said. Another person was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The authorities did not identify the man who was killed, but a member of the Nevada State Assembly, Michele Fiore, who has been a supporter of the Bundy family, said on Twitter that it was LaVoy Finicum. Mr. Finicum had become a de facto spokesman for the occupiers.
In fact he got scared and ran home to Arizona:
“FYI. I came home to AZ to visit my family,” Ritzheimer posted late Tuesday. “The feds know I am here and are charging me with Conspiracy to impede a federal officer. I need an attorney. My family needs help and I am hoping they grant me bail.”
The FBI issued a statement early Wednesday saying the 32-year-old Ritzheimer had turned himself in and was arrested without incident.
“Ritzheimer faces one federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 372,” the FBI said in a statement.
You know as a rule I really don't want ANYBODY shot and killed. But I have to admit that if this Ritsheimer guy had gone out in a blaze of "glory" I would not have shed a tear at his demise.
But as it turned out he was just a sniveling coward with a big mouth.
Which should not be news to anyone.
So exactly what was accomplished here?
No seriously I'm asking, WHAT was accomplished here?
Update: Here is Ritzheimer using his children in order to evoke sympathy and convince people to send him money.
If you are like me it will likely make your blood boil.
What was accomplished here??
ReplyDelete1. One terrorist dead.
2. Several terrorists will be locked up for a LONG time.
3. Other terrorists put on notice not to try this shit.
Ryan looks like someone tried to erase his face, I thought it was Bell Palsy but it turns out he had his head run over, which explains more.
ReplyDeleteThese nuts are trying to say Finicum had his hands up and was surrendering...Doesn't sound like Finicum does it?
It doesn't sound like his public statements, but maybe when push came to shove he chickened out like most people would?
DeleteIt was hard to even see his arms under that blue tarp.
DeleteI thought it looked as though somebody had rearranged Ryan Bundy's face. Ha!
DeleteNo, debunked by an eye witness last night.
DeleteHmmmm....looks like Jon Ritzheimer has a nice house and cute kids.
Deletecheck this one out kids ...

the only thing that could've been better would've been luring more of these dipshits to the refuge to ultimately be arrested on federal charges, that or put six feet under - methinks those that are there now have chosen
the latter ...
To answer your question Gryphen, ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN' NOTHING! That's for the caps troll.
ReplyDeleteI want to go on record as PRO CAPS.
DeleteI reserve my rights to use MOAR CAPS WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN!!!
DeleteMust be nice to fatten up your ever-increasing cattle herd on Fed land for free and not pay for feed. Then you sell them for shitpile of $. Those Bundys et al have been making out like bandits this last decade--free feed AND poaching deer. And they want it to stay that way.
ReplyDelete~Canuck~
These guys are pulling the wool over their "followers" eyes. They're supposedly mad that the Feds own big tracks of land in western states. My question to them is: if you want more land, why don't you buy it?
DeleteThe Bundy spread (LOL) is a measly 160 acres, in Nevada you can buy a section (640 acres or approx. 1 sq. mile) for less than a $100,000. There's a ranch available of 126,000+ acres for $40 million, why don't they go buy it?
These dumb a-holes are really doing the bidding of the super wealthy land owners. They want the land the feds own and they want it cheap. These small potato ranchers like the Bundy's, can't afford to buy more land or else they would because it's available and relatively cheap. The Bundy's want a free ride , but if the big land owners get their hands on the federal lands they'd charge 10 times as much as the feds for grazing. What a bunch of ignorant dopes!
YUP
DeleteThe remaining "manly men" are using their wives, girlfiends (no mistake here) and children as human shields to protect their second amendment rights to their deadly toys, goading and intimidating federal authorities desperatly trying to uphod legitimate laws and to prevent these idiots from creating a tragedy. And they call themselves "patriots"! They are nothing but cowardly thugs!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately these scum sucking bottom feeders are still polluting the gene pool. imagine what our lives might be like without this kind of in our midst. Imagine....
ReplyDeleteThey are Mormon Yeehawdists trying to create their "cowliphate".
ReplyDeleteYeehawdists. That's funny.
DeleteVanilla ISIS
DeleteRemember, the whole Mormon "faith" was made up by a conman, and consists of preying on other people. All the multi-level marketing scams come out of Utah, Mormons ripping off their fellow Mormons.
DeleteI've heard this Ritzheimer guy is begging for money from people. Hey jerk face, if you didn't blatantly and repeated break the damn law, you wouldn't need an attorney, nor bail money. And yes, your family does need help, but not in the form of cash. Asshat coward.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that so bloody typical. He plays his little games then expects someone else to bail him out when the ish hits the fan. Asshat coward is right.
DeleteIf memory serves, his daughters are five and three (?) and, unless is wife is as looney tunes as he is, there would be no home to come home to.
Keep an eye on this Ratzburger guy. I read he was home Tues.(to Az.) The bust happened Tues. afternoon. Claimed he wanted to say good bye to his family, got online to beg for money for a lawyer, then turned himself in. Without incident.
DeleteHow did he know this was going to happen before it did? What happened to the big mouthed, badassed bully with a gun?
I don't see a punk like Ritzheimer being long for this world.
DeleteThis punk will turn on the rest because he is only self serving.....the feds are going to groom the shit out of him....get him to talk, then lock him up. These guy are so much the idiots.
Delete10:16 Insider? wink wink.
Delete10:31 You might be right but for "what reason"? wink wink.
Think about it..
Ritzheimer is probably the FBI turncoat. Just wait until the militia types figure that out and turn on him. He could be dead within a few months once the nuts realize he turned tail and became an informant.
DeleteArchie Butt
He probably slunk back home when they ran out of French Vanilla creamer for his lattés.
DeleteWhen he heard the one guy got killed, probably peed his pants and went screaming to the cops to turn himself in so he wouldn't get shot too.
After all, he lives in an Arpaio state.
Bet he'll look cute in those pink jumpsuits.
The Feds said they wanted a peaceful resolution to this. Can't they see are the victims? Trump needs to get on our bandwagon ASAP
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is wrong with Ryan Bundy's face?
ReplyDeleteHe supposedly was run over as a young child and permanently injured.
DeleteHere is a youtube video of Ryan Bundy describing what happened to his face.
Deletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWvNrMq5OAg
At the age of 7, Ryan's head was "run over by a car". He said, "The car stalled on top of my head". "The driver, not knowing I was under there, hit the gas, the tires spun out. They got the word I was under there, pulled it down off off me. I stood up on my own, lost balance, and then went down onto my knees. My arm was broken, my skull was cracked, and in that small fracture, a bone sliver severed the motor nerve that runs down the left side of my face. In the day CAT scans and equipment to locate that damage was not availabnle and that bone sliver was not found until 8 years after the accident at which point the muscles atrophied and so forth. After the bone sliver was removed, there was a lot of improvement. My face used to sag very badly, much worse than you see today.
Most likely Cliven Bundy did not have medical insurance, therefore, the treatment Ryan received probably was inadequate.
Interersting that Ryan has had the appropriate CT scan done. CT scans have been available since the 1970's.
Thanks Obamacare.
He looks like he got beat with an ugly stick.
DeleteIs that Popeye in the top row second from left?
ReplyDeleteIt's not over yet. The real crazies left at the refuge are digging trenches ( graves ) with a government backhoe.
ReplyDeleteTheir live feed ..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfJDwg6pmM0
A distorted sense of greed ,entitlement and ignorance..
ReplyDeleteLow rent lazy trash under the guise of patriotism.
Nothing for positive outcome? Possibly the exposing of these domestic terriosts,only if they get prison time,fraud wannabes!
The one joker with the big Santa cheeks on the videos today looks like he's eating pretty good. Cut off the utilities. Why are they accomidating them?
DeleteSniveling white wimps. Sorry, if they had been Native American or any other minority they would have been DEAD weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteI am disgusted that our federal government took no action until now.
All that was accomplished was telling other white militia groups that they can go above they law.
Their live feed camera is comedy on steroids:
ReplyDeleteHughie Hefty Pants Patriot on his cell with mom tells her he was born for this day, is ready to die, they shot first so there's no law in the land....says "We've got Navy Seals here...I gotta go so I can keep these people alive"
https://www.youtube.com/user/DefendYourBase
"Would anyone like a muffin"?
DeleteThat's the highlight for me.
It was my understanding that the terrorists shot first and that is why one of them is dead. I guess the Feds are better shots. Gooder guys with guns and all.
DeleteWe have the Fed.forest cops on our fed wildfires. They are heavily armed not knowing who or what you'll find on fed land. Gone are the days of hillbilly stills. Now its guns and meth labs. They are the white trucks with green on the sides you've seen on footage from the refuge.
DeleteAnyone know what's going on with Ryan Bundy's face?
ReplyDeleteAn accident when he was a child - but do not recall the details.
DeletePat Padrnos
A truck backed over his face as a child.
DeleteSheesh
Great, the old "Mah head done got runned over and the car stalled on mah skull" defense. He'll get three square meals, a shower, clean clothes, edjumakation and find Jesus in Jail, won't have to work, pay bills, or taxes on our dime.
DeleteFinicum = Blue Tarp Guy.
ReplyDeleteNeither he nor his wife worked, took in adolescent boys to run his ranch, & lived off the $$ from foster care for said boys. Quit paying grazing fees after the Cliven Bundy incident in NV.
Hated the government, except for when he was getting $$ from them. Sounds about right.
They took the boys away so now his widow has no income. I suppose she can apply for some government handout.
DeleteThey should get in contact with Alaska's own Joe Miller. He's an expert at getting those gubmint farming handouts.
DeleteWell I guess she'll have to sell the ranch and get a job like everyone else. Levoy put the family in that position.
DeleteFEDS -1 MILITIA-0. Lesson of the day is Be Careful What You Wish For. just ask LaVoy.
ReplyDeleteAs anti government as they are, any that are killed will likely have families who will apply for government benefits, such as SSI. No doubt food stamps and welfare are already in place for many of them. The feds should publish a list of what benefits these families are getting, while they are disobeying the laws of the country.
ReplyDeleteApparently, Ritzheimer is receiving government disability for a bad back but he's out there fighting the government and constructing fences.
DeleteSounds like they might be able to get Ritzheimer on Disability FRAUD too. Couldn't happen to a more deserving redneck. If you have a bad back, the last thing you're going to do is drive from Arizona to Oregon and then back again.
DeleteWhat these yahoos fail to realize is that if the "gubmint" REALLY wanted to get them, all it would take is a single drone strike. Six armed guys in a small building wouldn't be any challenge for the dreaded black helicopters, either.
ReplyDeleteThe Gawker comments are priceless:
ReplyDeletehttp://gawker.com/the-oregon-militias-leaders-are-in-jail-and-the-compoun-1755408524
Okay LaVoy, dead it is. Some people always get their own way. Hope you bit it with a smile.
ReplyDeleteHow's that hell thingy working out for you?
Now they have their martyr. Does anyone care?
DeleteHe conveniently left fir Arizona a couple of hours before this all went down and then turned himself in a couple of hours later. Hmmmmmm...... I see a coward who ratted out his companions
ReplyDeleteWolveriiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeeessssss.....
ReplyDelete(eye roll)
{snort} Good one.
DeleteToo funny!
DeleteThey're gonna be sorry they didn't practice with those dildos.
ReplyDeleteYou know certain cavities will need to be closely inspected for contraband...
DeleteWell it looks like they won't need those dildos since they're going to prison.
ReplyDeleteMight want to bring along some lube though.
A 55 gal.drum of personal lube was sent to them. I wonder if there's any lube left?
DeleteYES! YES! YES! You go HRC>

It's a damn shame Ryan Bundy was killed when he got his little seven year old ass hit by a car. These rednecks need to be taken out at every opportunity and that includes Palins.
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard there was a dead one, I knew who it was. Lawrence O'Donnell got the "get" one night when a reporter was talking to the camera, with a blue tarp and a lawn chair in the background. Lawrence told him to try to get the guy under the tarp to talk, and he said he was not going to spend his life in a "concrete box", and nobody had better point their gun at him. Well-oops. He made the choice to leave his wife totally alone, since the gubmint had taken his chore staff away, along with the money they brought to the kitchen table. I had hoped that somehow the raging idiot Jonny had been injured, but I should have known he was long gone. I went to his website and saw his series of rants. Either he's totally nuts, or he's an overacting undercover FBI agent. Either way, he's no longer available for our entertainment. Bye, Felicia.
ReplyDeleteQ)
DeleteDoes a burial vault count as a concrete box?
BWrahhhhhhhhha !!!
His wretched brainwashed idiot of a daughter was on the evening news making claims and calling him a martyr.
DeleteI lived up in North Idaho for quite a long time and knew a lot of militia types. My observation is that the militia types did not let their principles get in the way of receiving a government handout.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see the FBI has learned the lessons of Ruby Ridge and Waco. There really is no need to storm in with guns blazing. By taking their time, these militia types will not become the martyrs they want to be.
I wonder what kind of prison sentences there folks will be getting. Hopefully long enough to send a message to the other kooks out there.
Was ruby ridge when palins left n.Idaho??
Deleteso here is the bristol chiming in on the all white oscars:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/not-everyone-gets-a-trophy-bristol-palin-wants-black-actors-to-be-colorblind-about-all-white-oscars/
As usual - the commenters are shredding her. Brutal!!
DeletePat Padrnos
Nope, not reading it.
DeleteGo AWAY, Bristol, and raise your damned bastard kids!
This is all much ado about nothing. I remember when the film "Precious" was scooping up awards and some unknown black people were winning awards some white actors were up in arms because they thought it was "their year" and they'd been robbed.
DeleteFuck it, it's movies for fuck's sake, entertainment only, not as if there are real world implications for who wins or who doesn't.
Someone's always butthurt each year; some years they're black, some years they're white, but remember someone is always butthurt.
Also if you called that fucking doctor's office right now and asked Miss Bristol what was just published on her patheos blog she's be completely clueless as to what Nancy French published.
There goes Frenchie, does she realize the real Jesus, if there was one, was probably dark skinned with african american features?
DeleteThis, from a white privileged bible thumper who got a black child as an "accessory" like Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and many others. Wonder if Nancy ever found clothes to match her "chocolate brown daughter" (her words, not mine).
Keep blogging, "bristol", the world needs to know you're half as smart as your mommy and dumber than a bag of wigs. Are you pregnant again yet? That "foggy brain" feeling is common among neglected celebrity wannabes. I hear TLC has a spot on "Born this Way".. . look it up, you could be a star!!!!!!!
If you must go there to post a snappy comeback, make certain to inform everyone about 'Brancy'. Nancy French needs a little of that Palin 'love' from the public too.
DeleteIf these jerkwater jackasses either plead guilty or are convicted on a federal felony charge do they lose their second amendment gun totin' and posessin' rights?
ReplyDeleteThese asswipes will ultimately be charged with multiple federal and state felonies. The initial felony they're currently incarcerated for is only the tip of the iceberg.
DeleteAnd yeah, from here on out their ability to possess/own firearms will be limited to looking at pictures of firearms ..
"Legally own" being the operative phrase. They'll still have them. Just illegally.
DeleteMichele Fiore is a complete and total disgrace to the state of NV. Few claim her, most make fun of her.
ReplyDeleteOMG she's Sarah Palin's fantasy come to life. With a calendar too posing with guns 12 mos. of the year. Fiore beat you to it Sarah!
DeleteThe militia is getting more mouthy and threatening on their live feed so it might be time for a full on raid to begin.
ReplyDeleteBomb a hole in the roof and then drop in some gas; chlorine, mustard, tear gas, any of 'em, all of 'em, whatever, just shut these dumbasses up forever. We don't need this level of divisiveness in our country.
Nope. They'll sit and wait until the rest of them hang themselves literally or figuratively. They'll allow them to start whatever so it's clear they are in the wrong. No way is any Fed going down for wrongful death with these yahoos.
DeleteI heatd the remaining whack jobs have until 4:00 to leave the refuge, and thatthey are not answering the phone. Also, that lavoy charged the feds after exiting the truck. Stupid shit.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that soon science will be able to make such a high quality of "fake meat" that we will no longer go to the trouble or expense of raising cattle. Not only would this be good for the planet, but these wacko welfare ranchers won't have a reason to graze animals anymore and whine about the incredibly cheap fees that the feds charge them.
ReplyDeleteRitzheimer is begging for money like $tupid $arah?
ReplyDeleteI thought Christian Teaparty faithful ammosexuals were so independent and proud that they need not rely on donations.
Why can't his church support him? Yeah, he doesn't go to one. What about his family?
Why does he have to post tear jerk videos of his little girls trying to get funds for the situation he brought on himself?
Maybe someone should tell all these guys to call $arah and ask her if she could support her some rill 'Murican, refuge occupying, right wingin' bitter clingin' PROUD ammosexual gun humpers of ther gods, guns and their religions!
That guy that got shot was predicting it, and procalaiming that he would not be put into a cage, so he knew EXACTLY what would happen if he drew down on a cop.
Levoy Finicum left 11 kids behind, so he abandons his duty to be a father, puts all that on his wife and family, which to me is a travesty.
Ritzcracker is no stranger to GoFundMe. Last year he started a campaign (which was quickly ended by GoFundMe) for 10 million because his anti-muslim activities were causing him to lose business and cost him legally.
DeleteThe standoff is not over yet. There are still a handful of pathetic holdouts vowing to fight to the death. LE is playing it cool and waiting them out. The terrorists have secured a lousy tactical position on the refuge and it's only a matter of time before they run out of supplies not to mention the fact that lack of sleep and nerves on edge that will break them.
Sheesh
Why post videos as you hype up and upset tiny children that don't have a clue what its about..just for the video. Very cruel.

In that blank spot here you ought to but a picture of "Blue tarp man" with little x's on his eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhere they are being held is right across from where I work. It seems they all appeared in court and Ammon's attorney related that Ammon is telling the rest at the refuge to stand down and go home; let "them" continue the fight.
ReplyDeleteLevoy Finicum was one kid short of a dozen and a joker short of a deck. He's the new martyr for the cause. God Bless America, someone got it right. Theuland belongs to the federal government, not some armed yahoos with a death wish.
ReplyDeleteThat facebook daddy clip made me want to puke. What a puzzy! Using your kids as human shields and exploiting them for money while you're off getting your single wide stretched to a double wide.
Before the poutrage brigade starts,
I know rape is rape, but if you don't like the amenities, don't do the crime.
Hell,just cant beat free labor thru foster kids And the gov. Pays you to watch them work.kinda like having slave labor. Neither he or wfe worked.
DeleteThank you for covering this Gryph. I watched the livestreams these delusional jerks were doing today from the trench they built. Just unbelievable how delusional these anti-american idiots are!! I hope now our government will make them pay and pay and pay! Let's put these convicts on clean up duty - starting with the federal wild life building they trashed.
ReplyDeleteThe oathkeepers who by the way the Koch bro. father belonged to..well they have all along been calling for a peaceful resolution and telling their members to stand down until all the facts are in. I visited their facebook page...their members are absolutely enraged at any stand down...frothing at the mouth to get to Burns with their guns and calling for blood and death of the feds. They just can not wait for Armageddon and a chance to use those AR-15's against We The People.
ReplyDeleteI hope, they all rot in federal penitentiary til the end of their natural lives.
ReplyDeleteThey have disrupted people's lives and terrorized a whole innocent community - one where they had nothing in common.
They kept innocent children out of school, destroyed Federal property, destroyed Native American artifacts, and destroyed a wildlife refuge. Irreparable harm. They had police protection/surveilance to the tune of $70,000/day, and other costs to the tune of several thousand $$$ /day.
THEY SHOULD PAY until the whole debt has been paid off, and then they should have to make ammends to the rest of their lives.
I've seen nothing on Shawna Cox and the first thing that I thought of is, was she related to Schaeffer Cox? Does anyone know? The Wikipedia article on the convicted Cox just says he beat up his wife and then she stood up for him but it doesn't give her name. Why would one woman be with this bunch of crazy guys unless she was either part of the movement or a wife or girlfriend. What has been said about her? Anyone know?
ReplyDeleteShaeffer Cox's wife is named Marti and she's much younger than that.
DeleteThanks for clarifying that.
DeleteBottom line: if you want to "open carry" and protect tephe constitution and command respect, then JOIN THE MILITARY.
ReplyDeleteLook at those ammosexuals. Does Bristles recognize any of them from her one night stands? Popeye in the second photo looks like he could be bamboozled into bed with her.
ReplyDeletePlenty of stinky men holed up at the refuge in Burns. See any you like,barstool? They're digging graves now. Careful what you wish for kiddies. Feds play hardball. No whiners when you're left in a cage or a coffin,k?
ReplyDeleteThey say Cox is out of Utah. Like 11 kids,45 grandkids. Breeder. Wonder how much in foodstamps they get or if there's a cap on it? Ya know...they hates the bad,bad, Govbermint..but ya gotta eat! AND YA GOTTA PAY YOUR GRAZING FEES! Cash,grass,or ass ,Nobody rides for free.
