The ‘unhinged’ Oregon protester that the FBI has been tracking for months
Most of the men who joined the Bundy brothers in occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge are relative unknowns.
There is, however, a glaring exception: Jon Ritzheimer.
But unlike his new compatriots in the standoff in eastern Oregon, nobody seems to have known that Ritzheimer — a patriotically tattooed Marine from Arizona with a penchant for posting melodramatic videos online — was passionate about federal land disputes.
What he has displayed extreme passion for is Muslims. Namely, expressing his contempt for them and their beliefs.
Last year, after two Phoenix residents carrying assault rifles were killed by police outside a Muhammed cartoon-drawing contest in suburban Dallas, Ritzheimer began making and selling T-shirts bearing a profanity-laced denunciation of Islam. In May, he organized a protest that drew about 250 mostly armed anti-Muslim demonstrators to a Phoenix mosque.
Ritzheimer — who carried a 9mm Glock 26 at the May protest — called it a patriotic sign of resistance against what he deemed the tyranny of Islam in the United States.
He later sounded the siren about the coming war with Islam.
“The likelihood for blood will be high,” Ritzheimer wrote on Facebook in August. “True colors will be shown once again when we step up to this common enemy who attacks humanity daily and enslaves it’s [sic] followers.”
Supporters call him a “true patriot.”
