I wouldn&#8217;t let an Oath Keeper within range of my house for anything. They are a bunch of mouthy little pricks who can&#8217;t tell the business end of a firearm from their asshole. Most of them lie about their military service at their dick-measuring meetings and whenever they can get in front of media cameras. This is a recruiting stunt by Cowan, why else would he be wearing the Oath Keeper finery to guard a school? I wouldn&#8217;t let him guard my cat&#8217;s litter box. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if Cowan is a veteran or not, I only know that I don&#8217;t need to belong to an organization to remind myself that I took an oath.
