Another sovrun asserts his "rights" with deadly results

[Pottapaug1938]

Here's the story of a person who is apparently mentally ill and a sovereign citizen (but do I repeat myself?)

I had seen another article on this and was wondering what exactly was on the piece of paper. I somehow doubt it was his vehicle registration.

New guy with sovereign citizen indicia shoots two cops, kills one:

I see didn't much of anything that indicated that this guy was a sovrun. I know he kept screaming about his rights were being violated and that he didn't have to get out of the car, but lots of habitual criminals think they are jailhouse lawyers and resort to such tactics. If he had pulled out an international driver license, claimed that his vehicle was a private conveyance, that he didn't have to register his car, etc. then I would agree that he had definitely waded into the sovrun koolade barrel. Other news articles don't indicate that he resorted to sovrun gibberish as part of his defense.

The fact that this guy has been a problem for the last 14 years (including assaulting the officer whom he killed in video) with a history of drug use and other related crimes means he was just a killer waiting to emerge.

No tags, the debate about lawful orders and being on the phone with another guy raised flags for me.

"Van the Man" does this on occasion. Whilst I do like watching his crunchy Sovrun goodness videos, there have been quite a few times when it has just been a dickhead behind the wheel and, admittedly rarer, a few times he's posted a video when the cop is the dickhead.

Found a legitimate one to redeem myself.

He forgot to say he was there by special appearance.
