Staff Sgt. Steven Carrillo, the Travis Air Force Base security forces airman charged with murdering a California sheriff’s deputy and multiple other crimes last Saturday, wrote phrases associated with a far-right extremist movement in blood on a car before his arrest, NBC News reported Thursday.
Citing prosecutors from Santa Cruz County, NBC reported that Carrillo wrote the words “boog†and “I became unreasonable†in blood on the hood of a car shortly before he was arrested. NBC said “boog†is short for “boogaloo,†which is a term for an online anti-government movement that seeks to provoke a second civil war in America.
“I became unreasonable†refers to a quote from anti-government extremist Marvin Heemeyer, which has become a meme on boogaloo-related social media sites, NBC said. Heemeyer bulldozed 13 buildings in Colorado in June 2004 over a zoning dispute and then killed himself. He has become known by the nickname “Killdozer†in extremist circles online.
