Anti-Muslim activist Jon Ritzheimer announced Monday via a post on Facebook that he was selling his motorcycle “for obvious reasons” because he needed “every penny I can get to buy more guns, etc.”
Ritzheimer, who in May organized a “draw Muhammad” cartoon contest and anti-Muslim protest rally outside a Phoenix mosque, said he was selling his bike on Craigslist’s Phoenix site.
In his post on Facebook, Ritzheimer included a link to Craigslist and said he was selling his bike to “buy more guns, etc.”
Ritzheimer didn’t mention the anti-Muslim rally on his Craigslist post, saying simply that his “life has been turned upside down” and he could no longer afford the payments on the motorcycle. He said he wouldn’t “put the whole story” on Craigslist but said he needed “every penny I have to invest in protection for my family.”
This is what Ritzheimer posted on Craigslist:
On Friday, Ritzheimer said on Facebook that he had been hacked and that a $10 million GoFundMe page which had appeared on his Facebook page last month was a fake.
The initial post revealing the GoFundMe campaign had been posted on May 31 with the goal of raising $10 million to “protect his family or run against” Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).
On June 1, another post revealed that the campaign had been suspended but a post on Ritzheimer’s Facebook page said the effort was “not totally dead in the water” because “according to [GoFundMe’s] terms this should not be shut down so let’s hope they free it up soon.”
By June 3, both posts were no longer visible on his page and Ritzheimer posted a video saying he’d been hacked.
After the May 29 rally, Ritzheimer said he and his family had been forced to go into hiding and take cover from the verbal attacks he’d received.
Ritzheimer’s rally was held in support of a similar cartoon contest that was hosted by outspoken anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller. That event in early May in Garland, Texas was disrupted by two gunmen who attempted to attack it. The two men, alleged Islamic State sympathizers, were shot and killed by security outside of the event.
How do I know that you won’t just spend the money on drugs? Or lobster?
here is his craigslist ad, below. You know, CL is well-known for flakes who respond to ads and act like interested buyers, but waste the seller’s time by never showing up at the appointed time. Sure would be a shame if this guy was flooded with inquiries from “interested buyers”.
It would also be a shame if his ad got flagged and taken down (by clicking on the ‘prohibited’ link at the top).

…well that did not take long, his post is already gone! Good job!
Jon Ritzheimer: Go home. Stay there. STFU.
so he is selling his bike because he is hurting for cash… to buy more guns.
This guy is a perfect example of why we can’t have nice things. People like this get to vote.
People that publicly lie like this guy does probably have a habbit of doing it throughout their entire life. I would suspect that we could find other examples of his lying, perhaps something related to how he says he was a Marine, or how he got discharged from the Marines, or something about other parts of his life.
Now, don’t want to pick on this poor character-disordered man, but thinking that owning more guns instead of a great motorcycle is a better way to live one’s life, I have to wonder if he has any rational thought process going on in that head of his.
And why would one blame and try to provoke Muslims? Unless he has been in prison for a while and seen how Islam is a growing thing for many folks there, I doubt he’s had the opportunity to spend much time with people who are members of that religion.
I wonder if he really believes Obama is a black Muslim born in Kenya. He seems like the type of person who could really believe stuff like that.
