Vegas arrests cast light on anti-government ‘sovereign citizens’ movement

[The T]

Authorities have linked the “sovereign citizens” movement to the killing of police officers in the past. After two deputies in Louisiana were killed in a shootout last year, police said some of the seven people arrested had ties to the movement.

Citizens are at liberty to believe whatever moronic nonsense they wish; they nor not at liberty, however, to kill pursuant to the moronic nonsense they believe.

True.

And the price of liberty comes with responsibility, doesn't it?

 

[Politico]

Get em' off the streets.

 

[The T]

Get em' off the streets.

Already happened. And?

This anti-government shit is being subtly pushed by the right wing. These nuts believe it, and thus, become like this.

NOT to this extent by those of us that abide by LAW...and the Constitution. Trim your broad brush there junior.

No it hasn't. Still plenty out there.

Right wingers = terrorists. Must send tanks.

Know this to be true? Have YOU consulted the NSA lately?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Wasn't this covered a few days ago?

Yes...but some Johnny come-lately just had an epiphany...

we have to figure trolls are just too stupid to do a search...

So you just realized why we had to endure 500 Benghazi threads. lol

it looks like it is you who are really wingnut, though

 

[The2ndAmendment]

Since blacks kill police everyday, that makes blacks a threat to the nation correct? Many blacks believe police are the Sword of White Oppression.

 

[ScienceRocks]

50% of all murder...What do you believe?

 

[whitehall]

Sounds like the left wing 60's -70's anarchy sponsored in part by Bill Ayers and his wife who is alleged to have set up the attempted robbery of a Brinks truck. Today they are part of the democrat party elite and "respected" law professors.

But you don't mind 500 Zimmerman threads do you? One is about a President and administration possibly doing criminal things, the other is a bout a guy that was found NOT GUILTY by reason of self defense.

What is a sovereign citizen?
“Sovereign citizen” is a catchall phrase referring to a variety of anti-government individuals and groups who share some common beliefs and behaviors. The organizations to which many sovereign citizens belong have a variety of names: Moorish Nation, The Aware Group, Washitaw Nation, the North Carolina American Republic, Republic of United States of America, etc. The same views may be embraced by Freeman, Freemen on the Land, Sons of Liberty, and Aryan Nation. Many sovereign citizens may not affiliate with any of those groups. In one way or another, though, all sovereign citizens, whether tied to an organization or not, adhere to a view that the existing American governmental structure, including the courts and law enforcement, is a fraud and that they, the sovereign citizens, retain an individual common law identity exempting them from the authority of those fraudulent government institutions.
Sovereign citizens may issue their own driver’s licenses and vehicle tags, create and file their own liens against government officials who cross them, question judges about the validity of their oaths, challenge the applicability of traffic laws to them and, in extreme cases, resort to violence to protect their imagined rights. They speak an odd quasi-legal language and believe that by not capitalizing names and by writing in red and using certain catch phrases they can avoid any liability in our judicial system. They even think they can lay claim to vast sums of money held by the United States Treasury, based on the premise that the government has secretly pledged them as security for the country’s debts.
At their most harmless, sovereign citizens are cranks who talk what seems like gibberish to cops and magistrates and judges and then become law abiding when they face real legal trouble. At a different level, they may burden the courts severely with the filing of hundreds and hundreds of pages of nonsensical documents. And at their very worst, they may resort to deadly force to defend their strange beliefs.

Sounds like some of our fruitloops here.

I'll take this crowd over the Progressives, and a 50% of what they say is true anyway. Check out your corporate strawman.
