Oath Keepers Are Patrolling Ferguson, Say They’re Prepared To Use Lethal Force
First it was the Ku Klux Klan trying to fan the flames in Ferguson, Missouri and now members of the Oath Keepers are patrolling the streets of the embattled town on the heels of the Grand Jury opting to not indict the police officer who gunned down an unarmed black teenager.
[su_center_ad]For right wingers who insist that it’s the protesters who are violent, there are forces at play who are trying to provoke the town consisting of a largely black population.
So far, there are 10 members of the militia-type group in Ferguson and the group is seeking more volunteers and they say they are prepared to use “lethal force.”
On the group’s website, it states, “Calling all skilled veterans and patriots!”
Sky News reports:
The group’s leader, who gave his name only as Sam, wore military fatigues while carrying a pistol and a custom-made, semi-automatic rifle fitted with a silencer.
He said his group was ready to use lethal force to protect premises from arsonists.
Sam said: “The people of Ferguson have learned a sad and difficult lesson, that there aren’t enough police and National Guard to help police all the homes and businesses.
“When you see a militarised police force and angry citizens who choose to be violent it becomes a very volatile and dangerous situation.”
The Raw Story reports:
An Oath Keeper and St. Louis County police officer assigned to Ferguson was suspended in late August, less than two weeks after Brown’s slaying, after video surfaced of him describing himself as a Christian and killer.
“If you don’t want to get killed, don’t show up in front of me — it’s that simple,” said Officer Dan Page in the 2012 video recorded at an Oath Keepers event. “I’m into diversity — I kill everybody. I don’t care.”
Promising to use lethal force did not work too well for the KKK. Hello Anonymous, can you hear me?[su_csky_ad]

The right has been screaming about the “black person in their WH” wanting to start a race war….seems these race baiters are violent and looking to kill. Lock them up immediatly, do not allow them to roam the streets with weapons.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 7:13 pm
it’s a copycat worthless sack of gz syndrome. Go out looking for trouble and if you can’t find it, make it happen sos you can hunt down and murder unarmed children in ‘self defense’. Here’s hoping the well armed unregulated black militia’s are aware of the signs.
Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 6:12 pm
I hope the protesters tear them to pieces.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 7:08 pm
they deserve no less.
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 1:40 am
Tear them to piece’s for what? For doing what, protecting the city.
rg9rts November 27th, 2014 at 1:42 am
Who appointed them protectors??? Hitler ??
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 1:58 am
Violence with violence is all I’m saying, yes these guys are goofy for sure and a throw back to a much earlier time but hey what goes around comes around, many of the spoilers in Ferguson aren’t from there.
rg9rts November 27th, 2014 at 2:16 am
They are not goofy but down right dangerous..they are out to provoke
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 2:27 am
Provoke? They haven’t made the news yet for any sort of gun related issue but the protestor’s are doing plenty in provoking trouble, burning buildings, looting liquor stores, noticed they didn’t loot the work shoes store…Lol…joke.
Candide Thirtythree November 27th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
They are not protecting anything and you know it, they are nothing but racist trouble makers just making things worse.
joe barry November 26th, 2014 at 6:16 pm
Not to worry – they are a bunch of wimps!
tiredoftea November 26th, 2014 at 6:16 pm
Yeah, sure they will. Ten is the number across the country and I doubt most of them leave Mom’s basement, much less can get a Greyhound to Ferguson.
I wonder why Teddy in the other article isn’t joining these wannabe vigilante militia trainee’s in the quest to publicly prove how stupid they are?
arc99 November 26th, 2014 at 6:21 pm
Of course if the residents of predominately black Ferguson, MO armed themselves and confronted the Oathkeepers and their unwanted presence in the community, who do you think would be condemned as “thugs”?
Did the Oathkeepers take the time to meet with community leaders, religious leaders or ordinary citizens in the community before deciding to “patrol”?
Talk about white privilege. If you are white, you can take your gun anywhere, regardless of what the people in that community desire.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 7:08 pm
use to be transporting stolen military arms across state lines was a federal crime -at least until WHITE RACIST Senator Rand Paul (R) Kentucky pointed out they were “just like him”.
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 1:38 am
Community leaders so far have failed, why would they want to meet up with community black leaders….funny.
rg9rts November 27th, 2014 at 1:41 am
Its that sense of entitlement that comes from their jock strap days
Tommy6860 November 26th, 2014 at 6:21 pm
Isn’t it funny that these groups hate government (cops) when they rightfully go after a racist usurper (Cliven Bundy) of federal land, but then defend the cops when the black community is trying to get justice for the murder of an unarmed black kid. Freedom to these violent bigots has only one one direction.
Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 6:22 pm
Just imagine what happens if one of these terrorist oathkeepers shoots someone?
allison1050 November 26th, 2014 at 6:43 pm
Probably nothing since they’re probably cops also.
Republicans_are_Evil November 26th, 2014 at 6:44 pm
If a protester is shot, the protests are going to get much worse.
GreatLakeSailor November 26th, 2014 at 9:50 pm
That would mesh conveniently with the aims of MO state & municipal authorities, the kkk, the oathkeepers, the Oligarchs, the Police State, all the domestic terrorists & fascists.
Everyone but us little folk seeking justice and a better quality of life.
Tracker3 November 29th, 2014 at 4:24 am
I haven’t seen anyone comment on the black panthers shooting at fire fighters trying to put out structures that were set on fire? Anyone want to take a stab at it?
GreatLakeSailor November 29th, 2014 at 12:06 pm
Do you mean this rock-solid source:
http://gotnews.com/breaking-firefighters-getting-shot-putting-fires-ferguson/
Seriously, do you have anything other than a ChristoFascist Racebating Hate-Fomenting Propaganda site to substantiate your claim?
Lest your cortisol and adrenaline addled brain construe my doubt of the authenticity of your claim to mean endorsement of the claimed act, I’ll state my position outright: shooting at firefighters is bad.
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 1:36 am
Terrorists, since when? I haven’t heard of the Oath Keepers burning buildings throwing rocks, shooting weapons at citizens and police, do you know what side your on?
rg9rts November 27th, 2014 at 1:40 am
But they look soooo purty goose stepping in uniform, arm bands and all
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 1:56 am
Lol… these guys never look that good, if they do look that good they won’t photo them but the nerds or guys that look like they still have a home with moma in the basement get all the fame.
Cathy Finnegan November 27th, 2014 at 10:08 pm
mccalleyboy: Grow up. This is not a movie. People who strut around with guns, threatening to kill anyone who isn’t them, are not heroes.
mcalleyboy November 28th, 2014 at 5:24 am
Agree, I’m not with the Oath Keepers, they sound strange, odd and some sort of religious order or brother hood. But I’ve noticed the that the media on both sides will cover the extreme oddities and ugly folks to make their points.
Candide Thirtythree November 27th, 2014 at 1:49 pm
Burning down a church and killing a black guy in a car? You don’t know what they are doing until they get caught
Anomaly 100 November 27th, 2014 at 1:56 pm
Since they showed up at the Bundy ranch.
tracey marie November 26th, 2014 at 6:29 pm
3 men, 3 wives and 4 kids…we all know those racist cowards need women and children to shield them
greenfloyd November 26th, 2014 at 6:32 pm
Probably a benign insult upon injury, however, if I were an investigator, I’d like to know what these 10 guys were doing on Monday night, Tuesday morning?
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 7:03 pm
can’t. They’re WHITE and armed with missing Military arms.
edmeyer_able November 26th, 2014 at 6:55 pm
Seems there is a lot of rwnj’s running around Ferguson these days…

granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 6:56 pm
maybe even enough to set a church on fire?
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 7:01 pm
now would be a good time for the US Government to retrieve missing Military Arms on permanent loan to WHITE RACIST TERRORIST GROUPS from WHITE RACIST TERRORIST hiding behind PD badges.
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 1:35 am
And then next you and your grand kids can join hands with N Korea and sing cumbia my love.
StoneyCurtisll November 26th, 2014 at 7:06 pm
Anyone else notice that the so called “Oath Keepers” were Founded just after president Obama took office?
April 19, 2009.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 7:23 pm
just another smoke and mirrors Klan trick to inflate the numbers of ILLEGALLY ARMED WHITE RACIST TERRORIST – or what some will begin calling Rand’s Racist Raiders seeing as to how WHITE RACIST Senator Rand Paul (R) Kentucky has already ID’ed them as being “just like him”.
granpa.usthai November 26th, 2014 at 7:25 pm
well now, let’s just hope their mommies remembered to pack their ‘I”M DARREN WILSON’ booties. Wouldn’t want them to be buried in Missouri without ’em, what with winter coming on and all.
ExPFCWintergreen November 26th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Oath Keepers, Smoath Keepers. These guys are just the 21st-century version of the Freikorps. They were “skilled veterans and patriots,” too.

Ain’t silencers illegal? Why isn’t “Sam” in jail?
Oh…right…white fascist military types making threats with illegal weapons are A-OK in 2010’s US of A }:-(

Read up on the “law” and you might become informed.
Hirightnow November 26th, 2014 at 10:22 pm
Are there plenty of women to hide behind?
KellyKAFIR November 29th, 2014 at 6:31 am
BAHAHAHA… you must have heard of their fun times in Nevada! That is one reason the whole state of Washington former Oath Keepers left Stewart. I think there are about 4 people in WA who are still in OK.
Mark Brewster November 26th, 2014 at 11:26 pm
I’D volunteer to join them; they wouldn’t want me, though — I’d shoot THEM!
Doug Milliken November 27th, 2014 at 12:24 am
The Klan in body armor. If vigilante fascist militias are going to be allowed to run loose, we have no reason to have laws at all.
rg9rts November 27th, 2014 at 1:43 am
We have laws but they are selectively applied
mcalleyboy November 27th, 2014 at 1:34 am
The National Guard was called in (more troops this time) so it should be fine now, nothing wrong with protecting your lively hood from trouble makers that aren’t from Ferguson.
rg9rts November 27th, 2014 at 1:35 am
Where do all the loons come from??
vogonpoet November 27th, 2014 at 11:33 am
I think they breed them in the back rooms of Fox News.
James Burrell November 27th, 2014 at 2:30 pm
all of you are so out of touch with reality its funny. Thanks for the laugh and misinformation, I do enjoy some fiction 😉
arc99 November 27th, 2014 at 2:52 pm
Clearly you do enjoy fiction as demonstrated by your clueless post.
Patriot81 November 28th, 2014 at 9:58 am
You are way off base on who the Oath Keepers are. Nice try taking different articles and quotes and rewording them to fit your far left agenda and make them look like a racist organization. They are out there protecting businesses that can’t afford to hire security so they don’t get looted and burnt out…for FREE because police and national guard aren’t! Black and Asian owned businesses. Dont even compare them to the KKK you moron. You are what’s wring with journalism! Fuel the racial fire some more asshole!
OldLefty November 28th, 2014 at 10:16 am
As opposed to fitting YOUR far right agenda?
They are out there protecting businesses
______
Who asked them?
So are the black citizens of Ferguson.
Patriot81 November 28th, 2014 at 10:29 am
That’s the thing, nobody needs to ask….you shouldn’t have to wait for youe neighbor to ask for help before you help. The business owners have been asking for police and national guard help and have got NONE and nothing but the run around. and if the business owners told the Oath Keepers to go im sure they would. But from what I hear the owners of the businesses they are guarding are quite grateful they’re there. They are in no means out there acting as agressors, they are out there to protect innocents from having their lives destroyed. Regardless of color or political affiliation.
OldLefty November 28th, 2014 at 10:45 am
The point is they are doing it for themselves, and the local are more afraid of these guys than anything else.
Patriot81 November 28th, 2014 at 10:01 am
And if someone wanted to steal and burn down what you built and what feeds your family you would’nt argue with lethal force being used against them!
Foundryman November 28th, 2014 at 10:54 am
Sounds like another bunch of right wing Orcs trying to flame a race war.
Tracker3 November 29th, 2014 at 4:15 am
Maybe you should look into the mission of the Oath Keepers rather than post a misguided assumption of their intentions.
Shelley Powers November 29th, 2014 at 9:26 am
A little reminder that Oath Keepers were among those who showed up to help Cliven Bundy chase away BLM employees doing their federally mandated job in Nevada.
The same Cliven Bundy who thought blacks were better as sharecroppers and pseudo-slaves.

Everyone is possessed by this manufactured culture war of Left vs. Right. You are all adults. Start acting like it. Grow the fuck up.
