Things have gotten more than a little bit weird in Burns, Oregon, where self-identified patriots are occupying a wildlife refuge in a standoff with the federal government.

The ragtag group of militia members has for weeks posted videos online calling for like-minded, Constitution-loving Americans to report to Oregon to join their cause.

In the latest video, posted on Facebook by Blaine Cooper, two men with vastly unmatched lung capacities blow their horns in a callout to “CHRISTIANS.”

Watch the whole thing below:

  2. This may be my favorite video, ever.

  3. Shofars. They asked for a chauffeur and someone sent these.

  4. Does the blowing of the ram’s horn signal the end of the occupation the way it signals the end of Yom Kippur services?
