Watch The Oregon Militia Blow ‘Battle Trumpets’ In Their Weirdest Performance Yet

Various armed Oregon militia members are still occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore. And just so you don’t forget about them, the group released a powerful video to remind everyone.

Posted by Blaine Cooper on Facebook, this video depicts two men trying to blow two “battle trumpets” in a coordinated manner. Except they sound completely out of tune, and the poor guy on the right should work on his breathing exercises.

According to Gawker, the “trumpets” these militia members are using are actually shofars, which are typically used during Rosh Hashanah. So does this video signal a new year for the Oregon militia, perhaps? A new year for the rest of us to join these courageous patriots in bringing harm to a wildlife refuge just to make a silly point about states’ rights?

Maybe this is a defiant stand against those who are sending them a 55-gallon drum of lube. Either way, Blaine Cooper wants us to join in on this good cause, per his video caption:

SHARE UPDATE BURNS OREGON! CHRISTIANS THE BATTLE TRUMPET HAS BEEN SOUNDED TIME TO RISE! CALL TO ACTION SEND IN THE TROOPS TO STAND WITH US IN BURNS OREGON!

The militia members have occupied Malheur for over two weeks.
