Recently an excitable copsucker realized he was wrong and decided his best play at that point was to call me a "sovereign citizen". Just because I said cops have no "extra rights" and if they initiate force it is ethical to defend yourself from them. He really didn't like that- not one little bit!
He clutched at superstition and ethereal "permissions" to try to prop up his argument. He tried the "put yourself in their shoes" argument. No one was buying it. He knew he was shooting blanks as each of his justifications was dismissed by everyone in the discussion, so he pulled out the "sovereign citizen" thing and flung it at me. He tried desperately- by calling attention to what he'd called me-- to get others to chime in to agree. It didn't work like he hoped.
I congratulated him on his mind-reading abilities, then I pointed out the silliness of the very concept of "sovereign citizen". He doubled down, expressing his desire to see a video of me, as a sovereign citizen, being cuffed at a traffic stop. Then he ran away. Why are these people almost always so toxic and full of bloodlust? Typical statist.
By then I was laughing at him (on this side of the screen), and could have made fun of him. But I didn't. It wouldn't have accomplished anything positive. I'd made my point.
I'll be honest-- I can probably say things others can't because no one is listening to what I say. At least, most of the time they aren't.
I sometimes take advantage of that freedom. Good, bad, or crazy.
I wrote the following in a post at NCRenegade.com about 11 years ago:
ReplyDelete"DHS and local law enforcement have labeled men at liberty “sovereign citizens” and claim they are a threat to peace and order – enemies of the state. The label is an oxymoron as a citizen has ceded sovereignty, and a sovereign is not bound by the obligations of citizenship."
I remain at liberty and a proud enemy of the state.

Isn't it strange that they equate the state with peace and order in the first place? Do they not have eyes?
DeleteBut, yeah, I'm right there with you.
