Those Jamokes In Oregon Aren't Terrorists, They're Jamokes

Those Jamokes In Oregon Aren't Terrorists, They're Jamokes

The American political lexicon has an appropriate word for the armed men conspicuously loitering in part of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge instead of going home. It is not terrorist or militia or occupation or revolution or movement or front or army or resistance. The word is jamoke. “Get a load of these sad jamokes!” is the thing you say about them.

Maybe when they are done annexing this remote administrative office’s supply of free park maps and permit application forms, they will liberate rural Oregon’s port-a-johns next. Some of the port-a-johns are heavily fortified with locking doors and hand sanitizer pumps. Surely this will call for siege weaponry.

Imagine the grade of sad, stunted halfwit who decks himself out in paramilitary regalia and lethal weaponry to stage a sit-in at what is for all intents and purposes a remote wildlife park’s visitor’s center. Okay, men, when I kick in the door, you three move on the 74-year-old v0lunteer who shows the birdwatching slideshow to elementary-school field trip groups; if she makes a move, be ready to take her down with force. The rest of us will establish a defensive position behind the cardboard beaver. If bigger goobers than these exist on our planet, you identify them by the bruises from where they poked themselves in the eye while trying to pick their noses.

BREAKING: White Men Enter Building In Rural Oregon, Act Like They Run The Place. Here is a question: At which rural Oregon building isn’t that true? That shit happens at 9:00 in the morning literally every day ..........

This clearly can’t be called terrorism. This is some other political action, where you do something so breathtakingly stupid and sad you force people who would normally ignore you to deal with just how stupid and sad you are. Calling them terrorists diminishes actual terrorism and elevates these morons above moron status. What they’re doing is the political equivalent of bringing an airhorn to a Star Wars screening and blasting it randomly every few seconds (emphasis added).

To call these dimwits terrorists gives them too much credit.

Someone suggested sending them some of those lethal Haribo sugar free gummy bears, since they have asked for snacks. Normally I am against cruelty to animals....
