Benjamin Don Roden; former Guardsman arrested for OK bombing

| July 12, 2017

CBS News reports that former Air National Guardsman Benjamin Rodan was arrested for the bombing of an Air Force recruiting office in Bixby, Oklahoma earlier this week. According to Heavy Roden was disgruntled about the character of his discharge;

Roden, who served in the military and was upset by the circumstances surrounding his discharge, has made anti-government posts on his Facebook page in recent days. Details of his military service and discharge were not immediately available.

He was discharged from the Oklahoma Air National Guard’s 138th Fighter Wing, based in Tulsa, in April 2017, KJRH reports.

[…]

Roden appears to have served in the Air Force, as public records show he once lived at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.

He’s also suspected of vandalizing a government automobile at the recruiting station a few days before the bombing.

I’m sure this will reflect favorably on him when he takes his discharge to a review board. I’m guessing that he wasn’t a rocket scientist in the Air Force.

That’ll play well in Peoria. Sounds like someone realized he needed out – and put him out. He’s throwing a hissy fit now.

Making it publicly known he is a loser. Real swuft there, kiddo.

Wilted Willy

How long before the claims of PTSD and all the other crap come out? I’m sure by next week he will be a Recon Ranger or some other such shit!
Just another ass hamster!

Maybe he can be best buds with Bergdhal in prison.

So he’s upset about the characterization of discharge HE’s responsible for setting the conditions of receiving it, then uses explosives to lash out? Yeah, it’s probably safe to say the Guard did itself a favor of shitcanning him. I doubt his service will be used to minimize his sentencing once the judge hammers his worthless ass.

One of the comments on the Heavy article, from someone who served with him, said as much, and also headed off the PTSD claims.

HMC Ret

I wonder how he will feel about the nature of his conviction?

Open Channel D

I see what you did there…

Hack Stone

Well played, sir. Well played. Will this jeopardize his internship at All Points Logistics?

MSG Eric

Badum-tish!

Ok. I didn’t get it.

Explain pleez

He’s going to really have to worry about the character of his discharge now….due to the incompetent anal sphincter he is soon to acquire in prison.

1610desig

Perhaps also “incontinent” anal sphincter…

IDC SARC

I’ll take medical synonyms for $200, Alex. 🙂

1610desig

That’s double jeopardy for our boy here!

ChipNASA

He sure looks like a pretty boy with a purty mouth to be going to prison.
Question,
Is this a Federal Beef??

Tom Huxton

Is this a Federal Beef??

yup. Bombing a federal office. yup

Tom Huxton

Just like stealing a loaded cigarette machine or making bathtub gin. ATF gets involved, besides a whole bunch of alphabet soup agencies.

So they kicked him out before he became an even bigger shitbag–government got one right for once. We’ll never know, but there’s a chance a bullet was dodged here.

And there I was figuring it was a lefty college kid thing.

Also, getting kicked out of the state Air Guard, and taking out the US Air Force recruiter? I don’t know if I’m missing something, or if he was missing something.

Eden

Thankfully the attack was at night, and no one was there.

ChipNASA

Oh and by the way, that’s some good Police Work there Lou.

Took them a day and 1/2.

Tom Huxton

well, there are just so many red motorcycles in Bixby and how many people bought a 12 inch threaded pipe and two end caps at Pop’s Hardware.

Not the most cautious criminal Okie, eh?

Carlton G. Long

Agree…not too shabby.

I’m glad no one was hurt and that this jabroni is in custody.

Ex-PH2

He was disgruntled about his discharge? Was he EVER gruntled about anything?

1610desig

They say he was nonplussed as well

Ex-PH2

🙂 🙂 🙂

MSG Eric

I’m sure he’ll be making some others gruntled in prison….

1610desig

He’s doing some face down grunting in a prison pillow

USAF Ret

If he is smart he will quickly claim that he is a Muslim and from Hawaii. That should help him get back into the guard and have his clearance restored.

Hack Stone

Was he highly decorated or moderately decorated?

MSG Eric

Well, its the Oklahoma Air Guard, so he probably has more medals than Chesty. 20 ribbons in your rack is just considered “OK”…..

1610desig

Pretty boy will be highly decorated with macho prisoner DNA…he’ll be blowing it out his distended asshole like an obscene party favor

SFC D

His face is gonna look like a glazed donut 😮

1610desig

With felching sprinkles…

IDC SARC

the pharyngeal contusions and cobblestone anus won’t be as pretty

1610desig

You docs always have to ruin “shit”

IDC SARC

a lengthy sentence could result in “gay bowel syndrome”

I find that medically hilarious 🙂

Facebook post by Benjamin Don Roden:

That government vehicle looks beautiful setting [sic] outside that office in tulsa [sic]. That is how I am going to make up for 2 years 7 months without a job and harrassment [sic].

His blowing up that office, and his justification here, shows someone who points the finger to someone or something else for his predicaments, and not at him. This is him “fighting back”, like he did when he was given constructive criticism, or when he was advised of an action that he took not being wise.

A common theme, between his deciding to bomb that place, and the circumstances leading to his discharge characterization, are connected. Benjamin Don Roden’s actions above prove that his discharge characterization was justified.

So thus his being discharged the way he was was just the USAF throwing away a piece of trash. I wonder who he’ll be “married” to first in prison?

Green Thumb

Substandard Discharge = Shitbag.

mikd

Just don’t make the mistake of looking at his Facebook page. I don’t need to see a mirror selfie of a naked guy grabbing his junk ever again.

ChipNASA

Thanks for the Warning.
Jesus.
*eye/mind bleach*

That should be serve as motivational viewing for the cellblock boys…

Fjardeson

Thor, Bubba, Julio, and “Mr. Tiny” probably already have that picture in their cell block, awaiting his arrival…

Hack Stone

He sure does love taking those selfies. Once all this blows over, he has a career making gay porn. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

1610desig

Fun at first but hurts in the end

Eden

Yeah, unfortunately they posted that same pic in the Heavy article.

What an IDIOT!

I’d say Don’s prediction of a new airman boot on leave turned out pretty close. What did this idiot think he was going to get, a better discharge?

Eden

Apparently.

Mark Lauer

One of my former Drill Instructors lives in Bixby. I sent him a message earlier today asking if he had any info. I haven’t heard anything back.

Glad to know they got the son of a bitch.

1610desig

Good…maybe a discreet mention to the judge at a cocktail party will set things right…certainly to counter any PTSD bs

Silentium Est Aureum

This is my shocked face. At least he hasn’t gone to the PTSD card.

YET.

1610desig

Any dumbass court appointed boot lawyer will google that defense…it’s coming

JarHead Pat

Me thinks he done caught hisself a bad case of da PTSD’S…fucking moron.

FatCircles0311

How does one even get kicked out of the air national guard?

mike

It ain’t easy if they’re anything like the OKARNG, they do as much as possible to keep numbers up. Drugs and terminal not showing up are the easy ways.

A Proud Infidel®™

Benjamin Don Roden has thoroughly fucked himself, I have NO sympathy for him, may he be on the receiving end of many spit-swapping sessions in a prison shower for many years to come!

Thread is very different from the one about topic before the suspect was identified.

Please explain all to us. Is this terrorist a faggot? If so, make sure we don’t stand up against his right to “love.” Lately I am so confused on what to think about the world… until you chime in. Then all is well in my world and I go to bed with a warm bottle and a poncho liner. zzzzzzzzzz….

“Benjamin Don Roden”

You know you’re a criminal when they use first last and middle name.

Is it just me or is the amount of selfies you take indicative of what a douche bag you are. (q.v. Reality Winner)

Mark Lauer

Whenever I break the law, I NEVER give out my middle name.

I haven’t been jailed yet.

Mayhem

Oh he is definitely gonna end up with pistol-grip earlobes before his time is served!

Stephen McCartney

Once again an acute case of PTSD and rage reaction when he couldn’t shop in the Exchange or Commissary. When will the military learn ?

Someone mentioned acquiring “anal cobblestones” in Fed Prison ? Yes, proper term is perianal condylomata . Depending whether you are pitching or catching they can also grow on the old tallywhacker also.

TRUE STORY.In surgical residency (Los Angeles), what ever team had Friday call,.we’d take a group of local gay “hospitality hosts” and burn these ‘speed bumps’ off with elecro-cautery ( spinal anesthesia, of course). After a few weeks of healing they were 99% gone and ready for the high tourist and convention season downtown. They were always thankful and many brought gifts as I recall. Then came AIDS epidemic..never saw many of them again.
