Oregon Miltia Idiot Throws a Tantrum Because People Are Sending Bags of Dicks (Video)




“So we went and picked up some mail that came in from, you know, a lot of the supporters. But along with that mail we got an abundance of the hate mail and it was just, it was really mind-blowing to me that people would actually spend their money — you know, this box right here, 17-dollars and 90-cents. They spend and waste their money on all this hateful stuff to send out here to us and buy this ridiculous stuff. It’s really ridiculous, even the — this one was really funny, a bag of dicks. So rather than going out and doing good, you know, they just spend all their money on hate, and hate, and hate, and hate. So we’re gonna clear the table and we’re gonna continue to do work and do good for our country. We’re not gonna be deterred. We’re not gonna let all your junk and hate-mail sidetrack us and we’re gonna continue to do what’s right for our country. For the rest of you patriots out there that are still twiddling your thumbs debating whether or not you should come out, well, now’s the time. If you wanna be part of history in the making, you need to get out here and you need to show some support. Now I’m not talking about coming out here and being an ‘outside perimeter.’ Come here and be a patriot. Come here and stand up for your country. Do what’s right. Enough talk, now it’s time for action. I hope to see you.”



Everything about this clip is so beautifully revealing. As much as Ritzheimer tries to laugh it off, there’s little doubt the lack of support from fellow “patriots” and the mockery from everybody else is really getting to him. That minor outburst, with him throwing everything off the table, is played as a show of defiance but it’s obvious he can barely control his rage. And the comedown from that, with him looking directly into the camera and issuing a steely-eyed challenge to militia members across the country not to basically leave the Bundy people hanging in the cold wind, speaks volumes. Ritzheimer is pissed. And the good news is, he and his fellow scofflaws are going to go right on being pissed. In fact, they’re really going to be pissed with this whole joke is finally over and they’re doing time in a federal prison.

As for the supplies that keep flooding the new Bundy Militia Oregon annex — well done, America. Well done. Keep up the good work.

1. How to be less thin-skinned, advice for Mr. Ritzheimer

Here are a few tips to developing a thick skin:

Don't take things personally. Sometimes you may need to reframe a person's bad behavior by remembering that it's not about you.

Don't let others get to you. Refuse to get overly responsive to the negative feelings and provocations of others. Adopt strategies that regulate emotional arousal; otherwise negativity hijacks the thinking brain. Try simple deep breathing or declare time out.

Remember that everyone gets rejected sometimes. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on. Don't be discouraged if it takes a few times to get it right. Successful people are rejected over and over, but never stop trying.

When you're rejected or something doesn't go your way, counterpropose a new solution. Often, the person declining your offer is not rejecting you. He may even want to hear another idea. Successful individuals come back from rejection with new proposals. They're creative at coming up with additional ways of looking at things and solving problems.

Don't hesitate to unstick sticky situations. If you're discussing an issue and the conversation is going off track, stop it and restart it on the right track. You could say: "This isn't going productively. Let's reshoot this scene from the beginning" or "Can we take it from the top?"

A person can donate to the local food bank AND send Ammon Bundy a bag of dicks.

And by the way, you're trespassing and breaking several laws every minute
you are there. You want support for that? It's called aiding and abetting.

complain about a totally appropriate 17 $ gift? Heck, I image that bag of dicks will get more use than all the other crap these pretend soldiers brought. There are a lot of lonely nights under that blue tarp...

Get you a 4 gallon plastic trash bag, put the shit paper in it rather than flushing it down, and then when the bag is full, send it to those clowns.
