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

what is Runnymede if not a tourist site?

Ugh that Balogh guy has friend-of-friends on FB that I recognise, lol. I only looked him up cos I went to school with some Baloghs (one was an Olympic gold medal shooter) but I dont think this cooker's related.

"You have no jurisdiction ...I have documents, I do not submit to the maritime law," he said.

Ms Stafford replied: "You say I have no jurisdiction, but you have requested a licence appeal under my jurisdiction."

"Yeah, but otherwise ..."

Worth reading the attached doc for insight into current kookiness:

He uses language & references potentially consistent w/ sovereign movement. And.. has list of grievances about recent news & federal government

it's funny that they always say all this but then still abide by the government's authority anyway, like few of them are ever in the courtroom violently twisting and trying to run for the door, they just shout "THIS IS ILLEGAL" while people laugh

That's why they insist on the right to carry guns. Oh, wait ...

Anyone see that show 'Jury Duty'? Leaving aside the sketch ethics of it, somebody needs to do that show but for one of these creeps- 'judge' to be all like "You've got us, we're under admiralty law here... the flag in this courtroom has fringes/no fringes... furthermore, I am arraigning the state prosecutor on charges of high treason"

On top of everything else...fun font choices there.

xp "it's unconventional, but I will allow it"

remember this guy, as talked about 7 years ago upthread?

U.S. Superior Court Judge Bruce Doucette (not a real judge)

well...missed that this happened two years later (lmao)

handy solid and detailed study of how well the sovcit manouevre is playing e.g. in australia:

Why do all these weirdos think US law is like, the law everywhere. (I know the answer, American cultural domination of the Anglosphere)

It's not just weirdos who think that everywhere is the US ime.

Starting to think my next door neighbor might be a sovcit — his pickup truck has no license plates at all, not even hand-drawn fake ones.

when these folks are locked up do they spend all day going "i'm not locked up, I'm free to leave whenever I want, I just don't want to right now"

"I meant to do that"

His driver's license just says McLovin

I’m guessing that when these folks were kids, they were the ones who ruined games by saying “you’re it, times a million and no returns” and walked off congratulating themselves

joke's on this guy for failing to cite Maritime Law

he spelt "Savile" wrong, i suspect a conspiracy

There is obviously some pathology involved here.

"troy ounce" is an excellent new wrinkle

pretty extreme response to junk mail, i just recycle it

Troy Ounce = Notting Hill drug dealer

alright martin amis

i think previous metals are always weighed in Troy ounces, but I'm not really sure about the difference (basing this on a trick question i heard once about what is heavier, an ounce of gold or an ounce of feathers?)

internet says it's about 10% more

chances are troy weight's equivalences were different for different metals in different regions, measurements pre-standardisation are wildly chaotic (even worse in pre-revolutionary france mind you)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobbit_(unit)

"Already in 1863, the hobbit was used as an example of the "customary confusion in our British weights and measures". An anonymous contributor to Charles Dickens's journal All the Year Round, arguing in favour of the decimal metric system, noted that[5]

"If (I buy wheat) at Wrexham, (I must order) by the hobbet of one hundred and sixty eight (pounds) (76 kg). But, even if I do happen to know what a hobbet of wheat means at Wrexham, that knowledge good for Flint is not good for Caernarvonshire. A hobbet of wheat at Pwlheli contains eighty-four pounds (38 kg) more than a hobbet at Wrexham; and a hobbet of oats is something altogether different; and a hobbet of barley is something altogether different again."

many of the 'pints' of beer I buy here in California are anything but

tbf no pints of beer in California or anywhere else in the US are actual pints

I hope that dipshit's house is egged constantly, pausing only for people knocking at his door and running away at random times.

don't forget dogshit through the letterbox

Well. today i learned

The pint is a unit of volume or capacity in both the imperial and United States customary measurement systems. In both of those systems it is traditionally one eighth of a gallon. The British imperial pint is about 20% larger than the American pint because the two systems are defined differently.

slightly less than 20% because US fluid ounces are bigger than UK fluid ounces

the british gallon is measured by the bladder capacity of the current monarch

hence to get royally bladdered

oh no wait, it's more than 20% because I'm bad at maths

UK fuiud ounces

lolololol

well if a US Gallon is 128 oz, and a quart is 32 oz, then a pint should be 16 oz

But there's a ton of U.S. 'pint' glasses that will easily be filled by a 12 oz bottle

xp tbf that is my position

it gets worse when a pint of whiskey is 375ml, gtfo with that shit, that's not much more than a half!

yeah, I like to buy Austrian gruner vetliner because they bottles are actual liters rather than 750mm

The sign is a master class in crank legal thinking.

jimbeaux as of now I decree that replying in this thread requires that you deliver me 1 troy ounce of gold

I will accept payment by registered carrier pigeon

spent a torturous new years eve attempting to disprove a fellas sincerely held view that a pint glass of cider is 500ml plus 68ml worth of ice

now youd have said that was easily disproven but id spent all day proving it and was getting worse at carrying out the practical demos as the year waned
