Wasn't 100% sure on the forum for this, so I am dropping it here....

They (terrorists) have been amonst us since the beginning of our country; e.g.,

* Salem witchcraft trials
* War of 1812
* American Civil war
* KKK
* McCarthyism
* Prohobition
* Cold War/Nuclear Obliteration
* Wet-Dry elections
* Immigration
* Gun Control
* Drugs/Gang Warfare
* The list goes on...

There's nothing new under the sun. Only the names and faces change.

Not terrorists. Just common criminals.

• Commit murder and physical assault;
• Threaten judges, law enforcement professionals, and government personnel;
• Impersonate police officers and diplomats;
• Use fake currency, passports, license plates, and driver’s licenses; and
• Engineer various white-collar scams, including mortgage fraud and so-called “redemption” schemes.

Sounds like common criminals to me.

If/when this becomes the case, I will know about it because I will be on the no fly list.

Least to say, those so called sovereign are just cons. Pretty bad ones when violence is used to achieve their means. They are modern day outlaws.

Gesundheit.

Political or philosphical views shouldn't make someone a criminal or a terrorist in a free country. People should not be penalized for "thought crimes" or free speech.

If one of these "sovereign citizens" commits a real crime, they should be punished the same as a "community activist" or "undocumented worker" who commits the same crime.

I love how the "Republic of Texas" license plate was front and center in the picture.

Ah, so shooting a burglar to protect a concept like private property or the sanctity of your home would qualify.

Of course, so would executing someone for treason.

Back in the mid 50's, "rock 'n roll" would have qualified as an act performed by terrorists. Look it up.
