A shirtless Cavalier lies asleep on a bed with a handgun laid out next to him as well as bottles of Bacardi and Captain Morgan rum. While 'Fluffy Unicorn' might be Cavalier's code name for the armed occupation, we can reveal his real nickname is in fact 'Booda' or 'King Booda' due to a large Buddha tattooed across his belly

The guy claimed for years that he was a Marine combat vet and wore a sniper hat. In reality, he NEVER served in the military. Just another phony.

...I can't say I've ever encountered an actual retired military sniper (and there are a bunch that compete) that saw the need to advertise like that. The entire point is that you let your shooting do the talking. I bet this guy's a complete wannabe. He may be able to shoot well, but I bet he was never in that role in the military. He's a guy with a hat and a rifle with a scope on it, I'm thinking.

He's been gone at least a week from the Bundy Bunch.

But it's actually two down because they arrested one of the ranch bunch today in Oregon.

All good.

These folks drive a truck and a van with clear labels affixed to them, identifying the vehicles the misfits that everyone in the town wants to be gone, as having stolen.

That's some grade-A stupidity and arrogance right there.

Oregon Police Arrest Man Over Federal Vehicles Stolen From Refuge

by PHIL HELSEL and TONY DOKOUPIL

[font size=1]-snip-[/font]

A member of the group occupying the building at the wildlife refuge confirmed Medenbach is a member of the group, and blamed him for "doing something stupid." It wasn't immediately clear where the two vehicles were recovered.

Figure out how to pick up the clue phone.

Here's the story
Of a pack of crazies
Who stage a heist of federal fields
All of them were assholes, like their leader
The youngest ones child shields

Here's a story
Of a man named Bundy
Who was busy with insurrection of his own
They were twelve men holed up with ammo
Yet their brain cells were all alone.

Till the one day when these crazies met this dummy
And they knew that is was much more than a hunch
They "knew" the Constitution they failed to follow
That's the way, they became the Bundy Bunch.

that everybody can respect for his adherence to the Constitution and rule of Law.

Extreme DUI, claimed he was a Marine and never served, misdemeanor theft... sounds like a really respectable patriot to me.

Looks like he's just as much of a hatriot as we assume many in this bunch of Yee-hawdists are.

'Booda' is for the Buddha image tattooed on his belly. 'Bear' may have been added because of his size.

I think 'Fluffy Unicorn' may have been his way of giving a FU to reporters.
