What does this militant have tattooed on his eyelids?



A member of the group occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters, talks to visiting news organizations Monday, Jan. 4, 2016, near Burns, Ore. The group calls itself Citizens for Constitutional Freedom and has sent a "demand for redress" to local, state and federal officials. Photo by Mark Graves, The Oregonian/OregonLive.com

He should have skipped the tattoo and gotten the name of a competent dentist.

I was thinking an E or a messed up m. The other one looks like it could be a 1, a 7 or a J.

Probably in a rush to join the "guys" in their new adventure.

When his blood sugar drops after they run out of food, the sweat that comes rolling off his head will wash it off.

(If he had his eyelids tattoo'd, what's the rest of his body look like? Gross!)

After being confronted by DM reporters he left Malheur before their story exposing him came out:

the other like a parallel S for the SS... I guess the second S would have been painful.

I don't know what is worst, that I immediately had a feeling of what I was looking at, or that I knew where to look.

I am shocked not to see a few other lovely symbols.

I've watched enough History Channel to recognize them fairly quickly.

Oddly enough, the Nazis were against personal tattoos. Clean Body, Clean Blood, and all that.

To the 1920's - 1940's Nazis, if he did the tattoos himself, this guy would be identifying himself as property of the SS, not as a "proud Aryan" or some other such ubermench nonsense.

He got that patch on Amazon for only $6.50 with free shipping! And if you look closely you can see where his mommy sewed velcro on so his neato patch wouldn't get messed up in the washing machine...

I want you to picture a supposed full grown man picking out quasi-military patches for his clothes while eating cheetos...

He got called out on it, and he has not been seen since.

Supposedly the tats said "game over" in some script or another, according to him. So people would read it when he was dead.

Pathetic pos. Multiple DUIs in his past - a real winner.

And that explanation about the eyelid tattoos also is in that story:

Outside the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Monday one brave reporter asked Cavalier whether two symbols tattooed on his eye-lids were swastikas.

Cavalier snapped: 'No they are Chinese symbols for GAME OVER, so when I'm dead people know it's game over.'
