The Other McCain covers the death of an idiot. A “sovereign citizen” Just what is a sovereign citizen?
How many times do I have to repeat myself? I keep saying Crazy People Are Dangerous and yet, despite my warnings, the craziness continues.
The SPLC refers to the “Sovereign Citizens Movement,” but since when is psychosis a political agenda? Nevertheless, I’ll quote the SPLC:
The contemporary sovereign belief system is based on a decades-old conspiracy theory. Sovereigns believe that the American government set up by the founding fathers, under a common-law legal system, was secretly replaced. They think the replacement government swapped common law for admiralty law, which is the law of the sea and international commerce.
Some sovereigns believe this perfidious change occurred during the Civil War, while others blame the events of 1933, when the U.S. abandoned the gold standard. Either way, they stake their lives and livelihoods on the idea that U.S. judges and lawyers, who they believe are foreign agents, know about this hidden government takeover but argue against it, denying the sovereigns’ motions and filings out of treasonous loyalty to hidden and malevolent government forces.These people are daft, deranged, demented, berserk, bonkers, off their rockers, a few fries short of a Happy Meal and cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
Go read the rest, sadly, Mr. “sovereign citizen” died from what I would say was a severe allergic reaction to bullets. I guess crazy people are dangerous, often to themselves. And, since this nut was White, there will be no riots, looting, violence, and hours of media coverage. As The Other McCain notes
White people getting shot by cops? Nobody cares. Ben Crump ain’t going to show up and “demand justice.” You’re white, you f**ked with the cops, now you’re dead, and nobody cares. This idiot Chase Allan is every bit as dead as George Floyd, but white people aren’t tearing down statues or smashing windows downtown. CNN’s not going 24/7 with updates on the story. Joe Biden isn’t commenting. None of the things are happening that would have happened if Chase Allan was black. There’s some kind of lesson here, and what is that lesson? Crazy People Are Dangerous
