A jury convicted Taylor James Johnatakis on multiple charges, including assaulting officers. The federal judge overseeing his trial grew frustrated with his arguments.
SovCits in courts and at traffic stops are an unending source of entertainment. “The flag has a fringe on it, therefore this court is being run on maritime law and something something anyway this is all illegitimate and you must find me not guilty!”
I also like it when they make their own license plates and try to argue that’s their right.
My favorite was the group of sovereign citizens living in a compound, they keep harassing people and authorities to stay of their sovereign property. Then they had a fire and they’re begging the fire department to come save them, without a hint of irony.
Lol they need to read a history book, that will just end up with arsonists working for the fire departments like the early days of firefighting in most large American cities
Libertarians don’t care about history. They don’t care about practicality. All they care about is not paying taxes for any reason.
You can even ask them to name a single country in the history of money that didn’t have taxation. They can’t, because there isn’t one. But they don’t want a moneyless society either.
Not just taxes, they want all the benefits of society without contributing to it at all. They want to be able to do whatever they want without consequence. They’re literal freeloaders pretending to be “free people.”
Or like ancient Rome where Cressus would show up to your burning house/business with his fire brigade, and offer to put it out only after you agreed to sell it to him. Think quick, cause the clock is ticking and the price is dropping every second
They’re basically adult brats: they believe they can do whatever they want cause they’re big babies now, but if something goes wrong the parents/state gotta run to help them. And obviously no time-out because they said “I’m sorry”.
I think some of them believe that the government has been replaced by some sort of fake organization that pretends to be a government, like a corporation or something, and as such that the proper court doesn’t exist and so they can’t legally be tried.
It is more that they believe they didn’t choose to be governed by their government and therefore they are a citizen within their own separate nation. In their eyes, the court exists but has no jurisdiction over them.

I love it when die-hard libertarians tell me that people should pay a fee to have fire departments come to their houses and put out a fire.

Would it surprise you to know that most SovCits are also Trump supporters?

Ahh the wonders of long-term lead poisoning.
