Itai Ozderman; Washington Post employee played phony ICE agent

| March 7, 2017

The Washington Post reports that Itai Ozderman, an IT employee of theirs was suspended on Monday after he was spotted in Falls Church, Virginia wearing a ballistic vest emblazoned with “ICE” (Immigration and Customs Enforcement);

As part of the investigation into Ozderman, a Montgomery County SWAT team and FBI agents searched his home two weeks ago just before 6 a.m. They found a cache of guns, including two M4 assault rifles, court records show. Officers also searched a Volkswagen Jetta used by Ozderman and found a loaded Sig Sauer semiautomatic handgun, as well as a Baltimore County police badge, a police radio and tactical vests, court records show.

Those alleged discoveries led to two charges against him: transporting a loaded handgun and possession of the police badge while not being a Baltimore County officer, the court files state.

I’m sure he was just exercising his freedom of speech.

An “investigation determined that Itai Ozderman was impersonating a federal law enforcement officer and a local law enforcement [officer] in the Falls Church, Va., area,” Montgomery police wrote in court papers…“It was also reported that Ozderman was enforcing or attempting to enforce criminal laws.”

Thanks to Chief Tango for the link.

Maybe he was just delivering ice?

Speaking of the legal system, isn’t today when someone we know is supposed to be in court?

TAH has a correspondent? Like Jose at “U.S Army W.T.F!” on Facebook? Awesome.

There can only be one G.I.Jose!

Good thing I loaded up the lunchbox with microwave popcorn.

ex-OS2

Who said popcorn? Where?

Movie Theater Butter????

Ex-PH2

Does this qualify as stolen valor or just criminal impersonation?

Aren’t you supposed to keep weapons locked up, to keep the kids out of them?

AZtoVA

Neither, he was a just news operative under cover, looking for another deep throat.

However, the joke will be on him if he gets more than probation….

Bill M

If Julio, Thor, Mr Tiny and friends get ahold of him, he’ll really learn who deep throat is.

SFC D

I’d say it’s a major case of criminal douchebaggery.

Deplorable B Woodman

Stolen Valor isn’t just for military? Who knew?!

“Stolen Valor. The Rancid Cherry topping the Shit Sundae. What Lurks Beneath?”

Yef

So, if you impersonate a reporter from Washington Post…

Dan

Ice cream at the White House?

Graybeard

I suspect the entire staff at WaPo impersonates a reporter.

Deplorable B Woodman

Where’s Dorothy, the Wizard, Toto, and the rest? Obviously this asshat is living in his own Land of Oz.

MSG Eric

But he works for the Mainstream Media, doesn’t that mean he can do those things if he wants because freedom of the press and all that?

It must be Trump’s fault, he is attacking the media!

QM1

I’m waiting for the rest of the Washington Post staff to be busted for posing as phony objective journalists.

USMCMSgt (Ret)

Will his defense be “I identify as both a Baltimore police officer and ICE agent, your honor”?

Yef

What kind of name is Itai Ozderman?

2/17 Air Cav

Well, a quick look-see through Google revealed that it’s either Jewish or Japanese. Nice combo.

Ex-PH2

Probably a Quaker.

2/17 Air Cav

I was referring to Itai, not Ozderman, which really doesn’t sound Japanese to me. Chinese, maybe, but certainly not Japanese.

Orthodox Lithuanian Amish, I’m betting….

Chinese Mexican Jew

Alright, I know someone is going to make a Juan Epstein joke, so here we go!

Turkish?

Looks like someone is going to be sampling the “all he will eat” BTJT deli at the federal poundhimintheass prison very, very soon.

A phony cop who works for a fake news outlet… how quaint!

ex-OS2

Cocksucker.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Secondary explosions.

Wait, wait, wait……..

“They found a cache of guns, including two M4 assault rifles, court records show.”

Two “M4’s”?

Really?

M4’s?

Yeah right.

Probably meant two SEMIAUTOMATIC AR style civilian black carbine “assault” rifles? Surely they didn’t “accidently” report full auto military M4’s.
Yup, no agenda there.

Move along folks, nothing to see here but “two M4’s”. /s

Idiots!! sarc/off

SFC D

Isn’t the M4 the one with the shoulder thingy that goes up?

RGQ

Wait, I thought the M4 had the bayonet launcher and extra killy pistol grip?

Mick

And big, scary ‘clips’ that hold way too many ‘bullets’.

And then there’s that ‘flash processor’ on the end of it, too, which makes it very evil to behold.

It’s, like, so important to know this stuff when expressing one’s ‘feelings’ about the horrors of ‘guns’.

Eden

No, no, Mick–it’s 30-magazine clips. And these babies pack a bunch of them!

RGQ

And who needs 30 magazines at any one time? Think of all the paper cuts…

Ex-PH2

Are you sure those weren’t M16s?

Dinotanker

Ohhhhhhhhhh scary black gunz…

These probably are equipped with the Batman LED NightSight Mask too…

ex-OS2

And when they go boom, boom, blam, they are really scary.

CWORet

And can induce PTSD in girly men (so I heard)…

ex-OS2

“And can induce PTSD in girly men (so I heard)…)”

Or it can be “caught” by staring at the “scary thing” too long.

AW1Ed

M-4geries. perhaps? I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of such a thing at La Casa de AW1Ed.

FuzeVT

A Jetta? What, did they not have men’s cars when you went car shopping?

ex-OS2

Undercover WAPO ICE Agents are issued the Volkswagen Jetta after completion of training.

Mick

And after a grueling 6-month probationary period, they upgrade to a Fiat 500.

1610desig

Followed by the coveted mid-career mini-cooper upgrade with some stupid European flag colors on top..

Eden

No, no, y’all got it all wrong! He was just doing an investigative report, undercover-like.

Old 1SG, US Army (retired)

That’s sounds perfectly logical to me… their IT guy impersonating a Federal agent.

We may have a problem though though… no way the Washington Post would have someone on staff that owns or would carry a firearm!!!

1610desig

That photo of his telegraphs that he is tougher than the big house’s celebrity, Mr “Tiny”

The Old Maj

I am thinking there is more going on here then is readily apparent.

Hondo

Interesting. The guy was apparently born in Israel, and has other pending charges in the People’s Republic of Maryland relating to firearms and apparently impersonating a LEO.
