Oregon militia standoff: man arrested driving stolen government vehicle | US news | The Guardian

This will be the second installment of what began as my "Meet The Mopes," now retitled "The Morons at Malheur", series. I'm going to nickname this moron as "Fozzy Bear" out of respect for their penchant for cute aliases. Let me now formally introduce him:

Medenbach, 62, was detained outside a Safeway supermarket in Burns, Oregon, some 30 miles from the Malheur national wildlife refuge, according to a statement from the Harney County sheriff’s office.

He appears to have driven from the occupied compound to a local supermarket in a vehicle allegedly stolen from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which runs the refuge. The sheriff’s office statement said that law enforcement officers recovered “two vehicles stolen from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge”.

Medenbach’s company, Chainsaw Creations, lists cabins, furniture, and signs for sale, as well as sculpted animals, with a specialty in bears and eagles. A biography on the website for a gallery that sells his woodwork says that Medenbach was born in Massachusetts, the second-youngest of five children, and that he spent 40 years in the construction trade.

And like our first featured Moron, "Booda Bear," a.k.a. "Fluffy Unicorn," a.k.a. "Brian Cavalier," he has a colorful past:
This is not Medenbach’s first tangle with the law. He is currently out on bail, according to court documents, awaiting trial for a seven-month residential occupation of government land between May and November 2015.

Medenbach was tried and convicted of the same crime in 1996. According to a forest service officer who testified at that trial, Medenbach was living in “an eight-by-ten-foot tent with a metal flue and wood-burning stove, a nearby campfire, and various cooking and sleeping equipment”.

When this all began, I had no idea what a clownshow this would turn out to be although I should have suspected considering the "material."

He is so evil for this?

But they are going to put him in jail for camping out on federal land? That is ****ed up..
