| Wait, indicted? Who said anything about getting indicted? |
A federal grand jury has indicted the leader of the armed standoff at an Oregon wildlife refuge and his followers.
Federal prosecutor Geoff Barrow says the indictment involves the 11 people arrested so far “and others,” perhaps a reference to the four holdouts still occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
The indictment was sealed Wednesday afternoon, but Barrow says it would be made public within 24 hours.
Here is who has been arrested so far:
The FBI arrested Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, Brian Cavalier, Shawna Cox, Ryan Payne, Joseph O’Shaughnessy, Peter Santilli, Duane Ehmer, Jason Patrick and Dylan Anderson on probable cause. Six were arrested during a traffic stop along Hwy 395, others arrested at or near the refuge.
Arizona resident Jon Ritzheimer was also arrested in connection to the occupation but remains in custody in Arizona.
So I guess now we will see if these yahoos really have the courage of their convictions, or if they simply thought that the federal government was going to be too intimidated by their awesome facial hair and Brokeback Mountain cosplay to actually arrest them.
Personally I think that loudmouth Ritzheimer will be the first to crack the minute he hears the door slam on his prison cell.

ReplyDeletePolygamists inbreeding is illegal for a reason.
DeleteHis American flag bra tattoo looks absolutely ridiculous
DeleteIt's to distract from the lack of chest hair.
DeleteHe should probably tattoo his head to distract from the lack of gray matter inside.
A Bundy + 15 others, including the 4 still camping at the refuge.

I believe this is just a placeholder to keep the ones detained now in jail and keep the ones that aren't detained in jail once they're arrested. More charges probably to come in superseding indictments. Fry, the Andersons and Banta could have skedaddled cross-country like so many others after the shooting and would have probably never faced charges.
Conspicuously absent from the indictment are Cooper and McConnell. Do I smell rats?
DeleteSheesh
Would that be Blaine Cooper whose real name is Stanley Blaine Hickman? Mr. felony man?
DeleteYea, where are those two?
I'm sure this is gonna work out well for ol' Ammon ...

"In fact I bet he's been giving up his pals for over a week now. "
ReplyDeleteHe certainly seems the type.
You can't make this shit up:
ReplyDeleteJon Ritzheimer, who has been orchestrating anti-Muslim rallies from his Arizona home, says he gets by on his veterans’ disability pay, and that he’s “lucky to have a wife who works.”
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/broke-unemployed-and-on-disability-heres-how-the-oregon-militants-can-afford-to-play-patriot-games/
If he's a domestic terrorist then he should lose all his Veteran benefits.
DeleteMost of these posturing apes are on some sort of government subsidy and living off working family members, mostly spouses. I'll bet they're all tax-dodging scoflaws too. I hope the IRS is investigating each and every one of them right now.
DeleteI surely hope they revisit Ritzheimer's "disability". Unless it is for being batshit crazy he doesn't seem very disabled to me. He's certainly physically fit enough to drive across country and camp out illegally in a bird sanctuary, then drive back. My sister has back problems and couldn't sit in a car and drive that far. She had to have someone drive her to Las Vegas which is less than half as far. And she is NOT on disability.
I gotta say, the feds handled this pretty well. they didn't do anything to escalate the issue. let these guys dig their own holes. Shoot themselves...metaphorically as well as physically, and now the whole USA can see exactly what these 'patriots' are made of. And they so BADLY wanted to go out Waco style!
ReplyDeleteThey are national laughingstocks, even the guy who got himself shot and killed. I agree, the feds are handling this very well so far.
DeleteYes. It was hard not to be impatient, but they played it just right to avoid another Waco or Ruby Ridge. They made these guys clowns instead of martyrs.
DeleteI'm assuming this guy is on disability for mental reasons because he seems quite able to drive long distances and winter camp in the wilderness.
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder how it is that someone like this even makes it through basic. Then I remember that it's an all volunteer army and the pickings are slim.
DeleteSeriously - I'm not pro war at all, but if we're going to spend all this money on the military and SAY we're at war, we need to reinstate the draft - no government official's kids exemptions. Weed out these wackos. These are NOT the people I want defending me. Nor Track Palin.
The Arizona tough guy left the night before the arrests. He probably set it up.
ReplyDeleteYep. I definitely agree. He got to see his family before going to jail, and he got his imprisonment and following hearings, etc all to take place in Arizona, where family will be able to visit him. Also, his charges are not listed like the others. This guy cut and ran after all the bravado. What a worm.
DeleteRitzheimer may be extradicted to stand trial with the rest. I just hope they all share cells in prison. If they find out Ritzheimer squealed or in any way gave them up or cut out like a coward because he knew something was coming down, his life won't be worth two cents.
DeleteOh yeah, they'll be giving it up all right.
ReplyDeleteJeepers Velma, they don't seem so brave without their metal penis extenders. And they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling feds.
Hilarious!
DeleteHence, people shipped them oversized dildos so they can feel manly
DeleteIs he trying to look like a Palin?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! Extending a middle finger seems like their only way of communicating.
Deleteall he needs is a couple of nipple rings, and some ass-less black chaps (and his box of gummy dicks) he will be the queen of the range in jail
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a psycho and will fit in a prison.
DeleteWhat I keep wondering about is: whose idea was this, and what was their train of thought? Okay, they've decided they've got a grudge against the Federal Gummint and they have to do something. Occupying a federal site- yeah, I can even stretch my understanding of that stupidity to make it seem like a legitimate protest, or at least to understand why they thought that way.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they pick a wildlife refuge, though? I mean, nobody decided to do this on their own. They were a group. That means they discussed it. "Wall, JimmyJoeBob, that 'air wildlife refuge... it's just a'sittin' there, waitin' for us... we should take that buildin'."
They're making a political statement, and they grab a WILDLIFE REFUGE? And they agreed on it, at least a few- I know some people came on their own after it started... but seriously, a WILDLIFE REFUGE?
Naturally they made fools of themselves. Hilarious. But they are idiots. I think the FBI was right all along. I bet there were discussions at the FBI about how to handle this, and SOMEBODY came up with the idea of giving themselves enough rope.
And I bet Malheur has twice the visitors this summer than it had last summer.
I just hope that the last malcontents get smoked out before the migrations!
DeleteThose staffers will need to do a lot of cleaning and repairing to return an aura of safety and calm for the feathered visitors.
My best guess is they went to buy pot legally in Oregon and decided to sty a while. Being mooching varmints, they took up residence in this wildlife reserve.
DeleteI'm pretty sure that it was proximity to the Arsonists that made them pick the Malheur site. They were too lazy and too scared to try this in any citified type place.
DeleteNow they get to stay in a Federal facility for a good long while. Keep your backs to the wall, boys. You ain't all that.
And, of course, the most important misstep: They forgot to bring snacks!
DeleteThey probably heard from some rancher buddy that the refuge used to be grazing land or some such. I'm sure they have a list of protected open space, refuges, reserves, etc. that are closed to grazing. The local pair that surrendered themselves (Hammond?) may have brought focus to that particular Federal land.
DeleteYeah, a bird sanctuary. Go figure.
I am loving the ridicule being heaped on these clowns. Yall Quaeda. VanillaISIS. YeeHawdists. The Branch Stupidians!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard The Branch Stupidians. Good one!
DeleteLOL! Those are all wonderful.
DeleteDon't forget Ali Shabubba!
DeleteJon Ritzheimer is a Trump supporter. Natch. Hey Jon - why don't you and your buddies occupy Sarah's mansion over in Snottsdale? Peoria is for poor, white trash. Gubmint isa keeping you there.
ReplyDeleteBased on the picture above, I would say the guy is already in Sarah's living room. Either that or they share the same interior decorator.
DeleteI see he's making the Palin gang sign.
DeleteOff Topic-- question gor G and others-- I guess some new court documents were filed in the Dakotah-Brisol fight. Does anyone know about these?? Will we find out the results of the paterny test?
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I wonder the same thing. No doubt if someone knew something, they'd spill it pretty quickly.
DeleteI saw an internet ad the other day for why "you should have a DNA test". Hope Bristol saw it also and too.
I've been curious about that too. Thanks to anyone who can give us an update!
DeleteWait. Wait. Wait. Peter Santilli? Like the "journalist" guy?
ReplyDeleteKarma.
Haha.Mr baaaaaa ass. I get it? I have seen your kind cry like a baby ,when your broke back buddies and budettes are not around .
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh.boo!
Obama scores again.
ReplyDeleteThese terrorists should also be required to pay for all the damage done to the wildlife refuge.
ReplyDeleteIt is ironic; they hate the federal government, but will be getting free room and board courtesy of the federal government.
Our senator is working on that very thing as we speak. I think the estimate was $17K a day that they are costing taxpayers.
DeleteThey'll be locked up in FEDERAL prison, I hope.
ReplyDeleteThey WANTED to occupy federal land, after all...
The indictments are worth celebrating. But this may just be the first round. If the sovereign citizen jokers are let out on bail to await trial, it could be another battle to get them to show up in court. And how long do we have to wait for Cliven Bundy to be arrested for failure to pay grazing fees, illegally grazing his cattle on public lands, or whatever the appropriate charge?
ReplyDeleteThey should be denied bail as they are flight risks and have threatened violence against the US Government and federal agents. People have been denied bail for much less.
DeleteThey won't get bail. Flight risks, too highly armed, too many threats of violence, they don't recognize governmental authority,
DeleteYou have got to marvel at the IQ portrayed to us thru that photo....i agree, he has been working on his "early out" scenario since the second he was taken into custody.
ReplyDeleteIs Ritzheimer emulating Track Palin, or is Track Palin emulating Ritzheimer?
ReplyDeleteYou'll note that he has the lyrics to 'Annie' tattooed above the flag. That should play well in the Fed Pen.
DeleteSheesh
total morons from everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThat loud mouth is a candidate for punk city.
ReplyDeleteOr punk ass as palin likes to say!
It's a prison term for ,Oh, never mind, ask Sarah
Palin.She seems to know all?
Every damn time I see the name "Bundy", I picture Al on the sofa with his copy of "Big uns" and Peg tossing salad with a cigarette between her lips, but none of these yahoos could aspire to the vocation of shoe salesman and wife of a shoe salesman.
ReplyDeleteI suppose they're shocked, shocked, I tell you! And when they're tried, they'll cry fowl like the Duck Dynasty inbreds AND the Duggar apologists combined.
Hey, dipshits, when Uncle Sam screams "Stay off my lawn", he means business. Ask any native american you happen to see!
Love the Tattoed photo of clem on grandma's old sofa in the basement. He's gunning for a show on HGTV, "How to Decorate a Trailor like a redneck"
Ha! The "hard tattooed warrior body" ! Bristle-? Ya got a pen pal in prison now!
DeleteWild Tortoise
Somebody should tell him that there a number of Muslim fellows in prison, some of whom may have been lifting weights for a few years. He'd better hope he doesn't get a cellmate named Makim bin Dover.
ReplyDeleteAh, they should have asked Schaffer Cox how his display of petulance worked out for him. Idiots.
