Oathkeeper and self-described 'patriot' threatens to arrest and detain U.S. senator

Daily Kos

Somebody is likely to be detained in this story—and it's not U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow:
Capitol Police are investigating a man identifying himself as an “Oathkeeper” and an “American Patriot who has everything to lose” who has threatened to arrest Sen. Debbie Stabenow for treason because of her support for the Iran nuclear deal.


Jon Ritzheimer, the Arizona resident who reportedly attracted FBI attention when he organized an anti-Muslim protest rally and “draw Muhammad” cartoon contest at a Phoenix mosque, shared his plan to organize with fellow U.S. Marines in an open letter posted online Monday.

-snip-

He said he intends to arrest all lawmakers backing the deal, including President Obama. But, no need to worry, he wants to work hand-in-hand with law enforcement:

Ritzheimer stated he has notified law enforcement about his intentions, and plans to cooperate with them “and try to keep this as smooth as possible so we don’t have another ‘Shot Heard Round The World’ situation.” He is also seeking donations for his mission.

Once Holder took a hike,thought we would see some change and start tapping these domestic threats on the shoulder and shut this crap down once and for all. Here in the Southwest,we have tons of these so called Patriot's,or as some might call Nut Jobs,armed to the teeth and the Cops dare not touch them for fear of being Dry-Gulched. Sick.

These people are clinically insane. They don't live in the real world.

Well maybe crazy and stupid.

This problem has bloomed after the Fairness Doctrine was done away with; allowing nutball cranks like Glenn Beck and Michael Savage to spew their nonsense 24/7. And enough gullible people to buy their nonsense.
