News about the Oregon militants. You cannot make this shit up. You. Can. Not.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/meet-bruce-doucette-buddy-s-sovereign-citizen-judge

Self-proclaimed Superior Court Judge Bruce Doucette arrived in Oregon Tuesday to meet with Ammon Bundy's gang of militiamen and help them prepare for a so-called citizen trial against local officials who they say have violated ranchers' rights near the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.

...

Doucette appears to have taken an oath of office to be a U.S. Superior Court judge -- which, again, isn't a real judgeship -- in May 2015 when he declared that he was a "warrior protector" with "jurisdiction in all matters of all states and estates, national and countries where oppression, tyranny, suffrage, peonage, barratry, piracy, slavery of any type, involuntary servitude, antitrust, monopolizing, terrorism, exploitation, blackmail, extortion" or more occurred.

...

where he told the Denver Post that that while he did not have a formal law education, "I'm a very honest man with a lot of integrity, also very educated. I wouldn't credit any institution for the knowledge I have."

...

Doucette's Facebook page is littered with various arrest warrants for county officials from sheriffs to local judges as well as memes explaining how the "word legal means undoing God's Law," a video showing how you can run a car on water...

...

On his Facebook page, he also links to an article about ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond, whose imprisonment for arson on federal lands was the inspiration for the standoff at Malheur. According to the article, their ranch -- which adjoins the Malheur refuge -- is sitting on "Natural Gas And Uranium that China Wants."

Doucette is also a bit of a science denier and conspiracy theorist. He has posted about how he doubts that the world is really round. He flat out said on Facebook that "we do not live on a Globe."




-----------------------

Fear not, good citizens of Burns, Oregon. A literal Flat-Earther and self-appointed judge over the entire human race has come to put your elected officials on trial.

This is going to put federal employees at risk if locals start trying them for crimes.

End the games and shut this shit down.

Let others know this will not be tolerated.

One should be aware of this Comic Book Justice. If one looks at the group as a whole,nothing is impossible. Just take a look at some of the articles in the Oregonian Newspaper.

And whoever those unfortunate people are, they are immediately going to become targets. Not just targets of the particular thugs occupying Malheur, but all the other "sovereign citizen" anti-fed thugs out there who hear about their kangaroo-court "guilty verdict"

Can we shut this horseshit down yet?

If people of color had pulled this and/or moderate lefts, they would be likely tased, maimed or mysteriously dead by now. This crap is so out of control it's unbelievable. Now, they feel emboldened more and more to pull of more shit like this, especially after Bundy Ranch and now this. They see all of this waiting as weakness and admission of guilt by the feds. IMO.

Okay his reference is himself. But, come on, you gotta give him some credit for "warrior protector" I mean that is way outside of the normal everyday bat shit crazy you normally see.

I appoint myself as Supreme Court Justice and Grand Poobah over the Earth.

I thought it was funny when I received my official 'Reverend' certificate fit for printing from a website and they also offered kits if I wanted to perform marriages; no thanks, I'll just continue to keep collecting tithes from the faithful.

and even enormous protests have been steadfastly ignored by the media. Makes you wonder why these asshats are getting so much media spotlight.
