The founder of the Oath Keepers militia is arguing for a lenient sentence of “time served” out of respect for his history of “good works,” by which he means — and we swear we’re not making this up — creating the Oath Keepers in the first place.
Yet in his answer to the government’s claims, Rhodes and his attorneys argue that the militia leader should receive leniency for his public service. Perhaps defensibly, this includes Rhodes’ career in the military; he was discharged honorably after getting injured during paratrooper training.
Delusionally, Rhodes argues that founding the Oath Keepers militia should be seen as similarly honorable: “The facts show that the Oath Keepers were dedicated to civic service during calamitous events, be they natural disasters or dangerous and violent riots.” It adds: “The Oath Keepers aided all Americans.”
The militia founder refers to the Oath Keepers’ inflammatory practice of showing up armed in tense situations, including the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and the uprising in Ferguson, Missouri. In addition, Rhodes touts that the Oath Keepers provided “voluntary security for speakers and the public at large at sometimes-violent venues.”
Rhodes’ attorneys argue that the militia’s actions not only qualify as public service but in fact go “‘above and beyond’ what is customarily considered ‘community good works’” by judges in offering lenient prison sentences. In a document full of gaslighting and absurdity, Rhodes includes a line about which all parties — both fans and foes of the violent militia — can certainly agree: “The character of the Oath Keepers reflects the character of the man who created it.”
