"I'm a sovereign human being, I stand under common law only" - Thread of Freemen

That video stet posted makes me so fucking angry when I think about e.g. Sandra Bland. This bullshit is the ultimate expression of white privilege -- "I'm not even SUBJECT to your stupid laws!"

Totally.

lol forever at 3:05 of "it's your constitutional right"

"you're a fuckin' lazy bum who doesn't wanna pay his fare"
[inverts camera to record himself saying:] "well, I work two jobs"
"two jobs doin' what, taking selfies?"

oh man if I had known this was an SF Muni video I would've watched it a lot sooner

I have totally been that "get the fuck off the bus already!" guy on various occasions

the craziest part of all this to me is that the people who record these videos wind up posting them online

oh shit I totally know that second Muni cop that shows up in the clip

i love the passenger who calmly and knowledgably explains the 4th amendment to him between cussing him out

or the 'hi youtube!' guy. might be the same guy

loooooool @ when the "travel denied" message appears on the card-reader

that's probably the best part

lol, another from his channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhfpV3AyoGY

i dunno if i can click on that

I can't listen to that dude's voice for one more millisecond, sorry

We had a dickhead like that on the bus whose travel card photo was defaced and you could just hear the whole bus deflate when he yelled at the driver NO GIVE ME *YOUR* NAME and wouldn't get off

entitled lying attention-seeking shitheads

I like how he makes sure to mention to the camera that he's gay

there's another video where he's doing parkour routines in the stairwell of a gym. about all you need to know i guess.

so basically he's Abbi's boss from Broad City

I #bought #buffalochicken from #BurgerKing and received # hot chicken instead. Plus the meal was waiting to be bagged for 5 minutes. Unnecessary waiting much?

dear god in heaven why did i just sit and watch that entire asshole on the train video

is this the same guy?

"This video is private" Must be a *very* sovereign being.

obv i have a favourite two seconds of this clip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTseKyiNbfQ

well that brightened a gloomy sunday evening

i...might need a little more context for that

I don't remember if it's been mentioned upthread, but these guys are basically the next step beyond Dennis the Peasant from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, right? "Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the system!"

Several steps

I always figure they're a deranged version of that pub bore who always knows how to get you out of your speeding ticket (If you don't show up/if they can't prove/say it got lost in the mail etc etc)

closer to that, yeah

i've made the "violence inherent in the system" gag before but in the movie the peasant is really minding his own business not going out with a phonecam looking to show the world what a badass he is

that peasant is considerably more sophisticated than the freemen imo

And considerably less asset-rich a lot of the time

An acquaintance of Scarsella’s told investigators that he and Scarsella were there a few days earlier to video-record the protesters. He said they made “inappropriate comments to [ the ] protesters, which sparked anger between BLM and his group and led to angry Internet postings …”

Investigators reviewed the postings, in which participants discussed going to the encampment to “stir things up.” Potential agitators were encouraged to dress normal and look like protesters but “feel free to carry” a firearm.

The website participants referred to blacks in derogatory terms and said they intended to do some “reverse cultural enriching.” The acquaintance held up a handgun before the camera in one posting and ended the video with the words “stay white.”

About 1 o’clock the next morning, a police officer [ identified in other court documents as being from the Mankato Police Department ] said Scarsella told him he shot five people near the police station. The officer told Scarsella to turn himself in.

The officer knew Scarsella as someone who carried firearms, “had very intense opinions,” considered himself “a sovereign citizen and pro-Constitution,” and had “negative experiences with and opinions about African Americans.”

There doesn't seem to be a general militia thread but this just popped up on my fb feed.

Militia takes over wildlife refuge in Oregon.

following this shitfest on twitter, ban militias, repeal the second

Ammon Bundy says his standoff group is 150 strong. People on the ground there say it's more like 8 or 10.

bundy! a pleasure! might i ask if you are of the florida bundys?

Yeah, this is way out in deeeeep eastern Oregon, which is pretty much another universe from the I5 corridor on the west side of the state

god what would they even do with that land? all it's good for is migrating birds. it's a fucking desert out there. i just can't get over how stupid these people are. nice beards tho.

like the only reason they're out there in the first place is because of the federal government? maybe they could go to the local paiute reservation and see actual sovereignty in action? the stupidity is unfathomable.

can't these guys just suffer life-ending aneurysms already

militia dudes are such dorks

They felt that I'd say

should see the rationalizations for this on my feed this morning:

"this is what happens when the government loses its moral high ground".

oh, right. that's what it is.

militia dudes are such dorks

on the one hand i get that these children turn to militia dorkism because they're in a repressive, economically and culturally desperate shithole with nothing to offer. but really they're so privileged in these small towns, a little imagination and some gumption and they could pretty much get away with murder if they wanted to, to say nothing of profitable small-town corruption. jeez they have it good. they're all driving huge-ass trucks on land credit. federal policy keeps their ranches treading water even as their debt mounts. just like the rest of the middle class. why do they need this silly cult of purely symbolic abrahamic righteousness to top it all off, just going to fuck everything up for them the dolts.

malheur is a giant salt marsh. it's beautiful country! not great for a home depot though. :( ammon bundy says he's going to stay in that building for years! what a moron.

out here in the crazy middle-of-nowhere west, this shit is mainstream! there are elected congressmen in utah who spend millions of taxpayer dollars hiring snake oil louisiana law firms to fight this battle to "take back" federal land in actual courts. we're talking national forests! like jesus you stupid greedy shitstains. the idiocy + cultural rot is astounding.

you know what these guys should get into? lensemaking. for sweet local binoculars. the world is full of l0u1s jagg3rs just waiting to discover the avian wonderland of the great basin.

ammon bundy says he's going to stay in that building for years! what a moron.

How is this supposed to work? I mean, after the cops block the roads so no food can get in or out.

Initially confused in the reporting by what "BLM" stood for. Think I got it now.

Beef lo-mein?

somehow i doubt they're thinking of starting a cattail diet. water is also a problem. xp lol, yes it's much more readily recognized as standing for "Bureau of Land Management" in the land that forgot about racism.
