Yeah that was the one that was silliest to me. Unless he's got a truck full of illegals he just talked himself out of a quick inspection and couple jokes with the officer and into getting beat the hell up on the side of the road. It's a nice day right? Step out and while people are rummaging around looking for whatever get some stories out of him. The sovcit looks so in over his head the whole time too it's glorious, like a border agent is going to be totally ignorant of inspection law

If they go to court and then claim they don't recognize the court because of that gold fringe thing, I think a fair case will be made for an insanity plea.

I think the takeaway from this is that there's a ton of stupid shithead spergs out there with ONE COOL TRICK to own police and there's a really small percentage of them that are gun-toting milsurp retards.

So the other guy who left earlier did not get charged with anything. We've defied at least 2 deadlines to leave, but now they won't they let us leave without charges? :iiam:

That guy has been posting videos for 36 hours straight. Assuming he wasn't going full nocturnal, he probably hasn't slept in two days. I'm amazed he's still posting, but from the slurring in that video, probably not for long.

Ugh okay. So the story goes that in this world you exist as a legal entity. If you do enough voodoo, you can basically split yourself away from your legal entity, becoming a "free man". You can then forward all your fees and charges onto the legal entity, but you yourself would be debt free.
There is also some dumb bullshit about everyone having a secret back account which only sovcits can access. This account has nigh-infinite wealth, yet the sovcit gurus only encourage its use to pay off poo poo like alimony. Wonder why.

Well, some of it really does sound tempting. I almost did years ago because my mailman at the time was one and we used to chat in the hallway when i was home. He'd go on about how taxes aren't legal "because the Constitution says...". "You don't have to agree to income tax because it wasn't agreed and voted on by all the states. There's this form you can get where you can exempt yourself".

He was like a real life version of a "This simple trick" ad back before they were a thing

A solution to the conflict is to build a wall around the building and put "federal jail" in the door of the wall. They are already in federal land.

As for the reaction of this thread to the occupation, you guys are piling on them, piling a lot of hate. Many of you must consider how much of this hate is pure groupthink and mob mentality. Is very, very easy to mock these guys in this thread, and hard, very hard, to defend them (I am not defending them). I personally hate mob mentality.

Emphasis mine.

I'm no public defender, I do not have an obligation to defend them.

While it may be the easy way out, we've been watching these people commit crimes for weeks. Yes, they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. However, they have been spoonfeeding us evidence of their guilt this whole time.

As for the making fun of them and whatnot ... I think it might be a defense mechanism. How do we deal with people like these? It would be great if we could have a conversation about it. But ... I don't think there is a way to deal with people like these.


I have a crazy coworker. As I heard Dumbass David spout his crazy BS yesterday in the wee hours, I heard a lot of her in there, and that kinda scared me. I have had many, many conversations with this otherwise smart lady about these things, and from what I've seen: there is no reasoning with them. They will continue to believe whatever the hell they want to believe no matter what we or anyone else will say.

So maybe we are retreating a little bit behind our dark humor. I'm not sure what else we're supposed to do.

Oh no, I totally see how the con works and how people would throw themselves into it. That's the really sinister part of it all; it's something people would cling to because poo poo hasn't gone their way or they've made some big mistakes and are desperate for a way out. They're being sold total bupkis to deal with the legal system and they're going to get horrendously hosed for it 100% of the time.

Oh yea, as was said, this is the best part. Patriots have built up this fantasy about how the Military is made up of people who just hate the civilian leaders they are forced to serve under. If they would just be allowed to do things their way, the world would be safe because we're AMERICA and we can do anything if we put enough boots on the group and nukes in the air for Freedom.

As soon as the brave Patriots fire the first shot all the NCOs on down will frag their Obama approved officers and march off to join their brothers in arms.

Or the people in the military are mostly people doing their job as best they can like everyone else and hope they aren't put in a situation where they have to risk their lives. Unless they're some glory hound or psychopath like Chris Kyle. I doubt many people in the military or vets would have kind words to say about these guys who are all the poster boys for Stolen Valor.


Why would a bunch of people in the military, an incredibly diverse organization filled with the kinds of people they hate, including people who have not yet become citizens, help a bunch of racist wingnuts?

Its like they don't actually know poo poo about the military, even a white supremacy sympathizer would realize in boot that his worldview won't fly because the military isn't like 80% white christians anymore and hasn't been for a long time.

He actually posted this video himself, trying to show how much of an rear end in a top hat the cop was, and we laughed and laughed at his dumb rear end. He still drives a truck now, somehow he didn't lose his Class C over this, but man it's weird to see someone actually become a meme.
