Trouble in Oregon as a militia member goes AWOL and spends the group’s donations on booze.
The latest chapter in the armed occupation of an Oregon bird sanctuary by Cliven Bundy’s sons is rather amusing.
Meet Joe Oshaugnessy, a militia man Y’all Qaeda member from Arizona, otherwise known as “Capt. O.”
Capt. O has been actively seeking donations and volunteers to assist the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.
Well, as it turns out, Raw Story reports that Capt. O left the security of the refuge, opting instead to hole-up at a local motel.
As Raw Story reports: “Jon Ritzheimer, the Arizona militiaman known for organizing anti-Muslim rallies and fundraising through his “Rogue Infidel” site, went to see Oshaugnessy at the motel and found him drinking there, according to Maureen Peltier, a disabled National Guard woman who claims to be the group’s official spokeswoman.”
According to Peltier, Ritzheimer comfirmed that Capt. O took all the donations the group had raised through social media and was using it to pay for a drinking binge.
Cai Irvin, another Y’all Qaeda member, announced Capt. O’s defection in a tearful Facebook video that has since been deleted.
“Ritzheimer did call me — he’s f*cking pissed, he’s mad, he’s upset,” Irvin said in the video, adding “He told me to tell all of you that Joe Oshaugnessy is a deserter and a coward.”
Raw Story reports that “Irvin said the militants felt betrayed by Oshaugnessy, who had taken part like many of them in the 2014 standoff at the Bundy ranch — where various factions within the right-wing ‘patriot’ movement also squabbled.”
“It’s like finding out there is no such thing as Santa,” Irvin said. “Come on, man.”
Meanwhile, Capt. O took to Facebook himself, alleging that he is the target of a smear campaign:
Alert****Alert******
Because I have been vocal about not supporting the actions taken by the individuals inside the compound
apparently they have desired to launch a smear Campaign against me…
Even though I am one of the only Patriots on the outside doing everything I can to try and prevent this from turning into another Wako
And making sure to protect the safety of all involved…
To what I say my reputation is sterling…
GOD & Country
Cpt O
