\"Ritzheimer\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

You probably remember Jon Ritzeimer, the fellow who sponsored that “Draw Muhammad” contest in Phoenix<\/a> a few months back and a few of his buddies<\/a> were arrested afterwards. He also, along with some Oathkeepers, threatened to arrest Debbie Stabenow<\/a> for treason. Well, now he’s on a road trip to New York and, according to the New York Daily News<\/a>, the FBI has warned the New York Police Department that he’s on his way to cause trouble there;<\/p>\n

The FBI got involved after a Muslim group based near Albany notified the agency that Jon Ritzheimer, 32, of Phoenix had posted a video on Nov. 18 in which he showed a gun, made profane anti-Obama statements and said he was driving cross-country to confront them, sources and a group spokesman said.<\/p>\n

Agents were able to talk with him initially, but two days later, when he was in Scranton, Penn., he got angry and cut off communication with them. At that point, the alert, citing a \u201cpotential threat to law enforcement,\u201d was issued, sources said.<\/p>\n

Ritzheimer, a former Marine, has made threats against Muslims a personal cause. He has organized an armed protest at a Phoenix mosque, threatened to \u201carrest\u201d all senators who voted for President Obama\u2019s nuclear pact with Iran, and encouraged all Americans to carry rifles in public for protection against terrorists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, his video is at the link. It was here, but I removed it because it auto-starts.<\/p>\n

Back in September, I was curious about his claim that he’s a Marine, so we filed a FOIA for him. For some reason, the National Personnel Records Center wouldn’t give us the whole thing. <\/p>\n

But from what I got, I can tell that he served from March 2003 to April 2014 in the Marine Corps Reserve. In October 2013, he was placed in the Individual Ready Reserve. In 2003, he went through basic training and upon graduation, he went to the School of Infantry on May 28 but he was in truck driver school in Fort Leonard Wood, MO less than a month later, so I guess he didn’t make it through SOI<\/del>. He had three year-long periods of active service, so I’m guessing that he deployed to Iraq for those; Jan. 2005 – Jan. 2006, July 2006 – May 2007, Dec. 2007 – Jan. 2009.<\/p>\n

He got a letter of commendation for at least one tour;<\/p>\n

Here are his assignments. Maybe you’ll see something I missed;<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that, yes, he was a Marine Reservist, and it looks like he had some time in combat as a truck driver (a tough and dangerous job in Iraq). He may have some issues related to his service, but folks with PTS don’t threaten the lives of people (except, maybe, themselves), so what he’s doing these days isn’t necessarily related to his military service. I’m not sure what he thinks that he’ll accomplish on this cross-country jihad of his, but it’s probably not a good idea to take a firearm to New York City.<\/p>\n
