Gregory Ward Bass, Jr.; fighting Russians
This delightful looking fellow is Gregory Ward Bass, Jr.. He was tossed from a shelter and while an ambulance was transporting him to a hospital, he assaulted the EMT and police officer riding with him. The officer was able to taser and subdue his ass. His explanation in an interview with police is unique. From Portland, Oregon’s KATU;
In an interview, Bass claims the attack was spurred by symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder he suffers due to “fighting he did in Uzbekistan against the Russians,” according to the probable cause statement. This claim was not corroborated by any evidence in the initial court filings.
KATU explains the tattoo;
The apparent tattoo on Bass’ forehead is a traditional symbol for Orthodox Christians in parts of eastern Europe and the surrounding area. The symbol shows the Greek letters alpha and omega (of their own religious significance) bookending a larger “christogram” in the center. This particular “christogram” is a centuries-old abbreviation for Jesus Christ formed by the Greek letters chi and rho, used in many contexts throughout history including on tombs, banners, jewelry, stained glass and military equipment.
Everyone has PTSD from something these days, even from imaginary wars.

Chick Magnet!
Actually he is. though the women that he attracts are crazy about him he is devoted to me his wife and his children. Nobody seems to ask what kind of man he really is I need to tell you he is a wonderful man and he should not have been pushed by the shelter worker got to talk to him who was reprimanded and suspended for his actions
By the looks of him I would guess he was into dudes…
I’ll have to check out his website later, but I’m sure Bob Neener could pump out a certificate for the Uzbekistan Campaign.
$19.95 will get you 3K a month from the VA, eazy-peazy.
He’s got a hole in each earlobe. I have no idea whatsoever. Finger grip?
You know, you could occasionally post a spew alert, AirCav!!!!!!
New protocol of putting coffee down before reading this blog saved yet another keyboard. Finger grips. He, he, he…
I know, right? I got caught one time too many with no spew alert posted. I now ensure that I am neither eating nor drinking when viewing TAH.
He did that in hopes of being the centerfold in JAILHOUSE BITCH Magazine.
He is already signed for the July issue of Prison Bride Magazine.
Lanyard loops
His nostrils are the finger grip.
BwaHaHaHaHa. Fortunately I had put down the coffee cup.
Guess he never read the Bible, where its says “don’t mark yourself or put metal in your body as he pagans do”!
Looks like your typical low life used car salesperson or Realtor. 🙁
Jim,
That was a low blow and a slur on good realtors everywhere.
I have a few friends that are realtors, and they are either veterans or married to veterans.
In the future, please consider comparing oxygen thieves like this to tickle monsters and that sort of scum.
How about MSM jornos?
I thought they were higher on the foodchain than MSM Journos.
If they are, it’s only slightly higher.
I concur about Realtors, but many a poser or embellisher is about as respectable as a shifty Used Car Salesman, the type one would find right outside the gates of a Military Installation.
y’know, most car salesmen are just trying to make a buck and as a group they are no shadier than any other group of sales folks of any type. Who do you think has screwed over more Americans, used car salesmen or the rapacious short-sellers and fund managers on Wall Street about 10 years ago? Would YOU buy a used car from Chuck Schumer? I rest my case.
(yes, I have done that…and it’s a damn difficult way to make a living – tougher than most.)
Here’s hoping that the “boys” at the Multnomah County poundhimintheass lockup introduce him to the BTJT Deli (Home of the World Famous Cockmeat Sammich and Ghey Whey Shake).
Dude’s gene pool must be wading pool shallow…
He’s living proof that the human gene pool could use a good dose of CHLORINE.
Uzbekistan, huh?
Does he know Dilobar or Dilshod?
Did he use an Oozi?
I bet he knows dildo.
Does he know the signal?
I have to give the guy props for being creative, an Uzbek PTSD veteran with a mystical forehead tattoo no doubt useful for identifying him as part of some “secret” society (seems like a secret handshake would be easier though).
I don’t know why he put it on his forehead, but that is a well-known and very old symbol of Jesus Christ. The Greek letters “X” (chi) and “P” (rho) are the first letters in the Greek word “CRISTOS” – where we in English get “Christ”.
The Greek letters Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, and reference Jesus’s claims in the Book of Revelation to be the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. (Rev 1:8, 1:11, 21:6, 22:13)
I’ve not seen a case like this guy, but it is not unknown for those with some mental issues to go through a spell of hyper-religiosity trying to get their act straight, and engage in this type of behavior.
OK, trying to get a little more accurate with the Greek “ὁ Χριστός”
Thanks Graybeard. I”ve been trying to figure out how to score that target.
Apologies to the Lord.
I think it helps to be a Middle-ages art and architecture geek. It shows up a lot in old church illustrations and carvings.
I wasn’t aware of the tattoo’s direct “Christos” and “Alpha Omega” symbology. It looked to me more like a variation on the ancient Sanskrit ideogram for “Arrest My Ass.”
It didn’t so well known as you claim then why does everyone ask me what it means?
This turd needs a size 10W footprint on his forehead.
He’s probably the one to which Whiny Mikey was referring as the religious nut doing all those sordid Christian things in the military.
Oh, and the diagnosis “crazy” might apply here. He and Mikey would get along just fine.
Can somebody please photoshop that tat onto Mikey’s forehead in the photo from yesterday? I don’t know how to do it but I would in an instant if I did.
Is Bernath available? I hear that he has mad photoshop skillz. He is just as competent with photoshop as he is with reading fuel gauges on aircraft or practicing law.
With the stuff on his forehead, perhaps he got the PTSD from serving under Darth Maul during the Sith Wars…
WHY, WHY, WHY do these nut jobs ALWAYS have to present as “Veterans”!!!!! Just like the deadbeats on the side of the road begging for cash wearing BDU’s, it annoys the shit out of me.
Did he use a shovel in the war?
In my 25 years as a paramedic (after ETS), I’ve encountered many of these ‘upstanding” types. Always playing up the “wounded” vet card. 96.4% of the time they profess to be former spec ops, they could “never talk about it” due to high level security reasons. After my initial assessment,most often they started the “I’m a veteran ” rant, (and especially if the said they we’re Army) I would reply with “That’s cool…what was your MOS?”, things then would get really interesting. A guy asked me what I did while in and I answered “Dustoff”. He probably thought it was a cleaning service.
I did the same during my time on the street. Mostly, when I asked what their MOS was, all I got was a blank look, or they asked what an MOS was.
“In an interview, Bass claims the attack was spurred by symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder he suffers due to “fighting he did in Uzbekistan against the Russians,””
He looks like something one would see wandering around someplace like UC Berzerkely.
If Lars had a Brother.
UC Berkeley student body are among the top students in the world. Jealous much?
In which discipline, Commissar?
IN WHICH DISCIPLINE?
DO be careful about wow you mention the word “Discipline” around UC Berzerkely types Ex-PH2, that word JUST MIGHT be a microaggression and you could hurt a snowflake’s inner child!!
And the professors sexually harass the female students.

Larsfact: “UC Berkeley student body are among the top students in the world.”
That’s great, whatever the hell that means. Evidently, it doesn’t mean that UC Berkeley students have mastered subject and verb agreement.
Unless one is planning a research career or one in academia, my experience is that being a UC Berkeley graduate carries no more weight (and less in some instances) than being a graduate of the University of Phoenix, especially outside of California. For name droppers, there are Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton, Duke, Stanford, NYU, and University of Chicago, to name a few.
“Among all universities, Berkeley again placed 20th overall. Princeton repeated as the top ranked college, followed by Harvard (2nd), Yale (3rd), and Columbia, Chicago and Stanford (tied at 4th). MIT placed 7th.” Source: UC Berkeley
Well, 20th is almost the top, as schools go, I guess, but I would have to say that 1 through 19 are ‘topper.’ But, of course, that’s schools. I still have no idea what “student body” means in terms of ranking criteria. Bueller?
Oh, and Lars, the dean asks that you please stop invoking the school in your posts. Speaking of the dean, there’s a wonderful initiative at UC Berkeley that I came upon. It’s called (and I kid you not) Bears That C.A.R.E. I can only guess that the only pre-requisite is potty training.
They’re sure tops at shitting themselves and trashing the place, remember the Milo event on that Day Care Center (*OOPS!*, Campus)? Education doesn’t mean SHIT if you don’t have common sense to put it to use and social skills to interact with people and make connections and that’s only when you’re educated in a worthwhile field. Get s degree in say, Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, Chinese Politics or any crap like that and GOOD LUCK in your permanent job as a Barista or Greeter at Wal mart!
Truly. The thing is that if you’re hiring and one candidate worked f/t and received an online degree from the Univ of Phoenix and ahs adegree relevant to the job, and the other has a Polly Sci/Gender Studies/The US Sucks and Here’s Why degree from UC Berkeley and attended classes and seminars for 4 or 5 years while incurring debt and working not at all, which do you hire?
I met a fine young man yesterday at Barnes and Noble who was perusing the military history section. He had a degree from Berkeley and is planning on going to Army OCS in the near future.
He came from a very conservative background and talked about how he got his degree by simply ignoring the stupidity of his liberal professors and fellow students.
“… Greeter at Wal mart…”
.
For that position, Walmart requires PhDs for applicants with “…Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, Chinese Politics or any crap like that..” degrees, especially from UC Berzerkely. I believe they also require a remedial course in manners.
Right up there with “The best and brightest” from Harvard, who brought us Vietnam, and Yale, who got us into the current clusterfumbles.
In a sort of related point, is serving in a foreign army still grounds for losing your citizenship? Maybe somebody should tell him that, and see how long he holds on to his fabrication/delusion.
Full marks for rocking the crazy, however.
Don’t know the laws but I do personally know a US citizen who was active duty Army. After his enlistment was up he moved to Israel and served in the IDF for a number of years and then he returned to the US, joined the Army again, and is currently on active duty.
I’m confused too…
“serving in a foreign army”
Whatever happened to the guy that refused to
wear a baby blue UN patch in Bosnia?
Or was it Macedonia?
I consider the UN foreign in oh so many ways.
Michael New, courtsmartialed for failing to kiss U.N. ass.
Because nothing says “You’re hired!” quite like a prison quality facial tat.
Actually he does not need a job because he is an ordained minister and nose how to spread the word of God and take care of his family all at the same time
Ordained in the Church of the Divine Turd.
I thought it was an aiming target for a WELL placed punch in the HEAD.
His deceased great uncle, Ernest T Bass, was almost an army veteran, having been in almost long enough to get him a u-nee-form.
I actually like the tattoo as an upper arm decoration. Forehead, not so much.
I know…..he was kicked in the head by a Papal horse!!
He’s lucky he didn’t Run into a unit of Russians being advised and led by John Giduck, Spetsnatz call sign “Тюрд с лицом”
I am the significant other of the suspect in question and I would just like to address the fact that PTSD attacks do not no reason. He most certainly does have PTSD for however it may not be from what “news source”you decide to read. I am still a devoted wife and mother to his child and while I read his comments on this page all I can think is do you really know this man? No you did not none of them do but you decide what you know him and you judge him. For those of you that quote certain scripture climbing that he is a sinful man you obviously do not know the scripture that says “For all have fallen short to the glory of God”. It seems to me that the people that actually comment or read this website do not take into consideration the fact that it is not a reputable news source there is no new sources reputable and they do not report on following court dates or earrings or psychological evaluations you take what is at face value and you run with it that does not mean that my husband is a lunatic what needs is you are an idiot.
Your man is a turd.
And by the looks of his felonious ass, I would venture a felcher as well.
Also the shelter worker that began the entire encounter was disciplined for his actions and suspended for two weeks with the knowledge that he is to never speak to my husband again but nobody asked that question. urthermore I would like to dress with that voice typing does not know grammar worth a damn
Burp, fart, giggle.
Sound familiar?
