... say it isn't so.



I mean who else could it be?

He died doing what he loved?

UPDATED AGAIN: Ritzheimer was arrested and charged with the same charges as the others conspiracy to impede a federal officer. He was in Arizona.

Goodbye video from the ranch from "defend your base" while "spy planes" circle above:

[nolabear]

1. Oh it couldn't be. Could it?

[uriel1972]

2. I thought he was so hard to see...

In that flourescent blue tarp...

[demtenjeep]

3. it could be jon "I swore an oath"

asshole

[Warpy]

12. Ritzheimer? Nah, that bird fancies himself a great leader

and it's unlikely he'll stick his nose out except under cover of darkness as he slinks away.

[demtenjeep]

24. yea just saw a tweet that somehow he was in AZ today

believe he got arrested anyway

[ebayfool]

27. Jon Ritzheimer surrendered ... so much for all his braggadocio.

http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/bundys_in_custody_one_militant.html#incart_maj-story-1

snip -

In Burns, Oregon State Police also arrested Joseph D. O'Shaughnessy, 45, Cottonwood, Arizona. He is known in militia circles as "Captain."

Several hours later, Jon Ritzheimer, 32, a key militant leader, surrendered to police in Arizona on the conspiracy charge. He gained national fame for complaining on a video about the delivery of sex toys to the refuge in response to the occupiers' plea for supplies.

Police also arrested Pete Santilli, an independent broadcaster known for his aggressive manner and live streaming refuge events. He also faces a conspiracy charge to impede federal officers.

[Qutzupalotl]

37. What will the refuge do with all those dildoes? Use them as bird perches?

[ebayfool]

53. Donate 'em to the Republicans ...

mebbe they will loosen up!

[womanofthehills]

38. Jon's Facebook page

In a video, he tells his girls, "Daddy has to go away again." They ask, "To Oregon again?" & Jon says no.....

He is begging for money:


"I came home to visit my family. The Feds know I am here and are asking me to turn myself in. I need an attorney so I can get back to my girls. Please help my family. Donations can be made at www.rogueinfidel.com to help with legal fees. Thank you all in advance. I just want the country to live by the Constitution and I just want the government to abide by it."

[bullwinkle428]

45. JESUS - he is more of a grifter than Palin!

"rogueinfidel"?

[3catwoman3]

55. Rogueinfidel, eh?

I wonder if he thought that up himself.

[ebayfool]

54. So from willing to take a bullet for his beliefs to surrendering and panhandling.

Next thing you know he's gonna demand the ACLU to represent him.

Yeah, he's some kinda fearsome!

[yellowcanine]

87. Dildo man skedaddled to Arizona when he saw the stragglers getting rounded up.

Apparently he is not as stupid as he looks.

[tblue37]

52. No, Finicum's daughter said it was Finicum. nt

[morningfog]

4. So the nonsense is finally over? Arrestes and off the site?

Good.

[Qutzupalotl]

50. There are probably still others at the refuge.

The exact number was not known, but I think this is only about half the group.

[islandmkl]

5. he was not a cartoon figure, regardless of the media focus...

he was a anti-government (of the people...all the people) extension of a part of America's past that felt like all the land was theirs for the taking...

if he wasn't dangerous, he was at least deluded...which made him dangerous in the end...

he claimed his choice...and it came to fruition...hopefully, but it's probably unlikely, he won't become the new wingnut martyr...

[2naSalit]

6. Didn't he say

he wasn't going to be arrested?

Wonder if it is him, I thought of him first then I thought of the one who got pissed about the bag o' dicks.

[Downtown Hound]

7. Be warned: If you strike Tarp Man down, he will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine

After he's finished that second six pack, mind you.

[dorkzilla]

8. Omg his Facebook page is too precious

Hate to mock the dead but..these guys and their savior complexes -https://m.facebook.com/LaVoy-Finicum-One-Cowboys-Stand-for-freedom-465692806896543/

[Person 2713]

88. I like the trolling where since they misspell the state they are in as "organ"someone

mentions that some good may have come out of this if he is an organ donor

This is on his second fb page because you know he is having trouble working with the inter tubes

https://www.facebook.com/cowboystand/?refid=52&_ft_=top_level_post_id.751739854958502%3Atl_objid.751739854958502&__tn__=%2As

[dorkzilla]

90. I love that there are SO MANY Constitutional scholars writing on his page

Seriously, who gives these idiots their talking points? “Agenda 21”?

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Well it seems this is appropriate here

(Ans the original was taken down by youtube)

[flamingdem]

13. A favorite, now one for the history books

Good bye Blue Tarpman

[womanofthehills]

44. Until next Halloween

People are tweeting, they plan to be Blue Tarpman this Oct.

[Orangepeel]

56. Nobody outside his circle will remember him by October

Probably not by March

[malokvale77]

60. Too funny. nt

[Egnever]

10. RIP Tarpman

Guess you went out like you said you would....

Pretty stupid if you ask me but hey I guess at least you weren't all hat and no cattle.

My guess is the bundy bunch on the other hand were the first to hit the dirt with their hands above their heads.

[flamingdem]

15. I agree, Finicum walked the talk!

Wonder if he knew he was hanging with poseurs.

[Mika]

31. He was clinically insane or manic depressive.

Did you see the interview on Lawrence O's show?
I won't be cheering the death of this poor soul (irrespective of the idiocy of it all).
If he shot at them then I hope he missed and glad he didn't injure any others.

[flamingdem]

33. Good point, the best news is that he didn't shoot anyone

I'm guessing they took him out because he wouldn't surrender his gun.

That's the way Finicum rolled. He really was a piece of work!

[Mika]

47. He had his hands up, according to their clan

Go here. Interesting.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027564420

[JesterCS]

64. Apparently ammon called his wife from the backseat

Of a police car too...... I smell bullshit

[Mendocino]

75. You've got that.

Like the authorities would stick him in the back of a patrol car not handcuffed, and allow him a phone, moments after a fatal shootout.

[flamingdem]

11. Unconfirmed but it looks like it was Tarpman according to State Rep. Michele Fiore via Twitter

3 minutes ago

State Rep. Michele Fiore (R-Nevada) has identified LaVoy Finicum as the militant who has been reportedly killed. #Oregonstandoff

[3catwoman3]

57. Is she the one who had the...

...tacky armed-to-the-teeth family photo Christmas card?

[octoberlib]

14. He's going to become a martyr in the movement.

"We're all Tarp Man now". They'll all start walking around with blue tarps over their heads.

[jmowreader]

21. Maybe they'll walk into traffic, and we'll be rid of them

[Arugula Latte]

34. This would be my reaction:

[n2doc]

16. Deluded tool

Really, he had it good, with his foster care labor pool. Then he had to mess it all up by listening to the Bundys and their idiotic friends. Clearly the man had mental problems.

[Snarkoleptic]

30. Finicum was finnago.

n/t

[elehhhhna]

17. Is he FLDS? He is from Colorado city Arizona

[octoberlib]

19. Good catch!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

18. He was a frickin' nut job --

but I am still sorry he's dead.

[Scurrilous]

20. Finicum fini?

Alas...

[TacoD]

22. Finicum is finishedcum...maybe they'll bury him with that tarp (nt)

[2pooped2pop]

77. will save quite a little bit to use that tarp instead of a casket

[flamingdem]

23. Long live Tarpman

finito finicum

[Arugula Latte]

36. ...

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

25. Fiore (R nutjob-NV) claims he was shot with arms up

https://twitter.com/VoteFiore/status/692189070554955776


My heart & prays go out to LaVoy Finicum's family he was just murdered with his hands up in Burns OR.Ryan Bundy has been shot in the arm

[flamingdem]

29. I hope they have video

and that it shows Tarpman waving his gun around. Guessing that was the story.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

42. They'll have video. nt

[womanofthehills]

49. Don't believe it

He was probably going for his gun.

[Whiskeytide]

65. So lemme get this straight ...

... A political figure - running for congress - has openly and publicly - on Twitter no less - accused the FBI of murder when she has zero knowledge of what happened? Holy shit.

[demtenjeep]

26. oath man split

Now he cares about his kids.

[flamingdem]

28. These fellows suffer from lack of long range planning ability

.. though .. with all the nutters out there he'll probably raise a hundred grand or so.

[LeftyMom]

35. Translation: He's going to set up another crowdfunding grift.

He's a frequent flyer, but I think GoFundMe, which is scam artist central, is officially sick of his shit so he'll have to use a different panhandling platform.

[Snarkoleptic]

43. Maybe he can put some of the sex toys up on ebay?

I mean, assuming they're new in box, of course. Perhaps he could sign them with a sharpie to create collector value.

"Lot 312 up for auction....17 butt plugs with Jon Ritzcracker autograph ca. 2016"

[flamingdem]

51. They'd sell 'em for sure

I'm thinking the blue tarp could fetch quite a sum if packaged properly. Hard to get that one signed though.

[Arugula Latte]

32. How is Giant Pasty Fat Baby In A Diaper Man?

[uppityperson]

39. wtf? I am glad I missed that one.

Oregon Militia member loses mind, challenges Chris Christie to sumo wrestling match

[Arugula Latte]

41. Yeah. If you pitched this stuff as a comic movie, it would be rejected as "over the top."

[3catwoman3]

59. The baseball pants were bad enough.

I have no desire to see Chris Christie in a sumo loin cloth

[dorkzilla]

40. I guess we know why they kept asking for snacks.

[flamingdem]

48. What is that!!?!11

[Arugula Latte]

67. You'll never unburn that image from your brain. You're welcome.

[KittyWampus]

85. dafuq?

[SpartanDem]

46. He was so dedicated to small government

that he provided his own bodybag no sucking on the teet of big government for this guy.

[NightWatcher]

61. A couple of zip ties through the grommet holes and voila

[Person 2713]

58. 11 Fo$ter children ? = 11 state care payments and free ranch helping hands ...the more I

learn about these guys the less I care what happens to them.
Said he would rather die than leave guess he wasn't kidding and whoever he was shooting at wanted to live

[3catwoman3]

62. Which one has...

...ELEVEN foster children? Yikes. Someone in child "protective" services messed up.

[Person 2713]

63. From the linked article the deceased tarp has 11. Somewhere I read this is a thing with many of

them, foster kids . But I do not have a link nor recall where I read it. Anyone?

[pokerfan]

71. He was the asshole complaining about CPS

taking his four foster children away last week Said the money was most of his income.

“That was my main source of income,” Finicum said.
https://www.rt.com/usa/329381-militiaman-loses-foster-kids/

His income? That's just wrong on so many levels.

[renate]

72. oh my god

Wow. Did he really say that? That's horrible. And so hypocritical.

[pokerfan]

74. It's true...

Foster children can be a tremendous income source.

“That was my main source of income,” Finicum said. “My ranch, well, the cows just cover the costs of the ranch. If this means rice and beans for the next few years, so be it. We’re going to stay the course.”

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/1/18/1471293/-Foster-children-removed-from-home-of-Oregon-militant-says-he-s-now-lost-his-main-source-of-income

[Person 2713]

82. Yeah I figured as much plus free ranch hands . Let me guess further homeschooled with most of

the time spent " learning " ranching.
Notice it has been 50 boys they have fo$tered over the years. No girls the boys are farm hands hope they at least feed them.
The op link said 11 but you article mentions 8 at a time , Catholic Church doesn't itemize anymore it said . He mentions 4 maybe the last 4 removed ....GOOD!
Bet his widow takes in a bunch more now that he is dead to run the farm for her. They are mad slavery is illegal but they found a way around it with under 18 in need of a home . Bet they indoctrinated all 50 in their anti fed RW BS too

[flamingdem]

66. Goodbye message from the ranch

[pokerfan]

68. Tarpman?

[flamingdem]

69. That's soo touching

Tarpman got tombstoned or did he..

[malaise]

86. Literally

Ah well - live by the gun, die by the gun

[JEB]

70. Hey it's not like he was selling loose cigarettes or jay walking.

[Person 2713]

84. ++1

[Aerows]

73. Is this for real?

LaVoy Finicum?

[flamingdem]

76. Lavoy always said he didn't want to live in a concrete box

I suspect he held onto his rifle and perhaps even aimed it at a law officer during the arrest thus Lavoy is no more.

[Aerows]

78. Oh my.

He said he wouldn't be taken alive, and he wasn't.

[flamingdem]

79. He walked his talk

[Bad Dog]

80. If there's one funeral you want the Westboro Baptist Church to picket.

It's his, could turn into quite a good ruck.

[yellowcanine]

89. Would not surprise me at all if they were there.

Anything for a spectacle with those folks.

[montana_hazeleyes]

81. I wonder how long before there's a song out,

"Legend of Blue Tarpman"

[randome]

83. Wait! Breaking news! He just woke up in the morgue! He's alive!!!

Come on, let's keep the legend going. Say, he switched clothes and IDs with one of the other bunch so he could escape into the woods and wander the world as a vengeful, blue bigfoot!

Tarpman versus Slenderman! The stories just write themselves!
