Daily Caller: ST. MARTINVILLE, La. — “I am a little wary about telling my story. I don’t trust reporters,” said a man who referred to himself simply as “Babyface” when approached by The Daily Caller News Foundation. He was living in a swamp in southern Louisiana to protest the construction a major crude oil pipeline that is near completion.
Babyface was living deep in Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin, the biggest swamp in the country, and was the only protester on the ground when TheDCNF found him. Babyface’s traveling campsite could not be found on any map. It took TheDCNF over two hours of traveling on airboat and foot to find it. The living conditions weren’t stellar. The humidity in the swamp was off the charts, numerous alligators could be spotted in the water, and a voice on Babyface’s walkie-talkie warned of water moccasins nearby.
It appeared the camp had been established there for at least a few days — Babyface wouldn’t tell TheDCNF how long he’d been there. Several flags that called for the end of Bayou Bridge were hanging in nearby trees. Tents were packed with clothes and food, water jugs were scattered on the ground. Notably, the campers were using a plastic tea jug to collect their urine. It also appeared the protesters passed the time by reading teenage fan-fiction — several “Twilight” novels were lying around.
“We’re working to stop them from constructing the pipeline,” Babyface explained.
None of it appeared to faze Babyface, a man who was wearing a bright red dress with snake boots.
Gee, how did they get all that time off work?
Ummmmmm…. insanity?

That’s whutcha call an ER case waiting to happen when Mother Nature steps on him with both feet!
He would have enjoyed hanging out with Grizzly Man. Two guys that know how to have a good time.
I cant judge him til i see what the handbag looks like. Bruce
Oh I see. Black people can’t get cheap gas if crazy crackers say no.
I’d totes go the race and poverty angle on this one.
“RICH ELITE DEMAND BLACKS SUFFER.”
“WHITE TRANSGENDERS TRUMP BLACK LIVES.”
“NO CHRISTMAS FOR NOLA IF NO BALLS HAS ITS WAY.”
Puts me in mind of the movie “White Lighting”.

Mmmmkay. Setting up camp, adorned with dayglo painted dingy bedsheets, waaay back in the woods where no one can find you, much less see your message, accomplishes what exactly?
OTOH, Babyface could be camped out in full view of a major highway and wouldn’t notice if Ze never turned around.
Life imitates Art.
Check the character “Skink” in Carl Hiaasen’s novels.
Seeing the title of the thread, I was fully expecting to be reading an article about Jeff Sessions.
@Jay Sherman – You’ll have a mighty hard time convincing me Babyface is the ex-governor. And Skink doesn’t wear a red dress, only a plastic flowered shower cap. (-:
Knock him in the head with a stump.
This clown will probably end up being a regular on Swamp people next season.
