Following that logic if you’re sovereign then it’s not really a riot or insurrection. It’s another nation engaging in war with another nation. The election wasn’t any of their business to begin with since they’re sovereign.
That “sovereign citizen” just lost a war against arguably the most powerful nation on the globe.
Fucking moron. I hope he’s able to grow and learn from this experience in a positive way. 🤷♂️
I've never heard of a SovCit that isn't a fucking moron unless they're a grifter. Anyone with a lick of sense would be able to figure out their beliefs are all silly.
Well I don't see a flag with gold fringe anywhere, so your words have no power here.

SovCits are what happens when people are willing to believe anything that makes their opinion right, and ignore anything that proves them wrong.
They use the law as a shield, but the second they want to break the law, they say it doesn't matter.
If someone showed up at their house and claimed it was now their house due to annexation, they'd be on the phone to the cops faster than you could imagine.
They want everyone else to follow the rules, and for them to do anything they want.

They actually have tried that (more than once) and it was harder to evict them than you would think.
Police had tried multiple times to get the squatters to leave the home, including using a helicopter and armored vehicles, The Sun reported. They were able to get a search warrant after pulling over Michael Lawrence Warren, one of the squatters, for a traffic stop and discovering his identity and criminal history, which included sex offenses.

Sounds like the reason it was hard is because of our own existing laws and not anything they're claiming with their sovereign citizenship stuff.
Yeah, but basically the law is on their side for once.
I hope he’s able to grow and learn from this experience…
That’s some heroic optimism right there
Legendary really
Yeah, but according to the article he apologized to one of the officers he attacked, so they should just let him go.
