The militia members, who are in week two of their stand-off against the U.S. Government, recently sent out a plea for supplies from supporters. [4] They asked for things like blankets, tampons, Miracle Whip, and the all important patriot’s coffee additive “French vanilla creamer.” [13] Their first call for snacks was mocked relentlessly, in large part because these tough cowboys and former military men put out the request on day three of the occupation. [2] In response to this request, PETA delivered bundles of vegan jerky and other animal-free treats to the militiamen [15] Funny thing is that liberals and other opponents of the men currently occupying the federal building in Oregon are now using the weapon of humor and ridicule by sending dozens of dildos and other penis-shaped presents to the armed militants. [1] What’s been shipped to Oregon over the past week: condoms, gay porn, bags of candy dicks, “The Ultimate Survival Guide for Kids,” and so on and so on. [19] Calling it “hate mail”, “militia” organizer Jon Ritzheimer is refusing to bend over and take it, after posting a video on Facebook complaining about the special ‘packages’. “They spend and waste their money on all this hateful stuff to send out here to us, and buy this ridiculous stuff, even this one was really funny, a bag of d**ks,” Ritzheimer said. “For the rest of you ‘patriots’ out there, twiddling your thumbs, wondering whether or not you should come out, well, now’s the time.” [1] Ritzheimer’s video ends with him sweeping the entire table of anti-militia mail onto the floor in an extremely dramatic fashion. [5] Gawker reported the goods are coming from “strangers from around the country” as well as from the website itself. [5] [12] Ritzheimer and his group continues to ask supporters to send care packages to 36391 Sodhouse Ln, Princeton, OR 97721 — the mailing address of the wildlife refuge. [10]
This week, an Oregon judge says he will “send Mr Bundy the bill” for security costs of $60,000 to $70,000 per day, referring to the group’s leader Ammon Bundy. [1] Ritzheimer is a quite a character in his own right. He’s the guy who posted a goodbye video to his family, which inspired the #DaddySworeAnOath meme. [8] Ritzheimer is a former Marine and Iraq War veteran who reportedly sponsored a drawing contest in Arizona of Islamic Prophet Mohammed and operates an ecommerce website called Rogue Infidel which sells “F**k Islam” T-shirts and bumper stickers. He was discharged by the military for violating its tattoo policy and says he supports Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential race. [1]
Recently, the group also received a sound mocking from Stephen Colbert about their wish list:
