Once you know the Sovereign Shithead's majic words it's like they have a 20 foot tall flashing arrow with the words SOVEREIGN SHITIZEN above their heads. Be careful though, they like their guns.

The "Sovereign Citizens are nutty, but these are the true "domestic terrorists".

Most of the time, police illegally ask citizens for their identification. Without reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime they can't do it. Most say they can do it because of "what is going on in the world today" or that they are giving you a lawful order. Don't ID yourself needlessly and video record EVERY interaction with the police.

F*ck the federalist US government. And it's agents.

thanks for the video. My takeaways: The producers pretty much stereotyped all SC as being potential terrorists.

That's rather ironic considering the rhetoric from Obama where he is apologizing to the muslims because they are being treated as assumed terrorists.

Why do most of the police officers shave their head? Are they trying to look tough or they saw it on television? If you go to work as an attorney or CPA, do you shave your head? Part arrogant, part ignorant. If they could get any other decent job, they would.

Short or no hair is a tactical advantage in a fight.

Dude's monotone voice and goofy logic reminded me of the HAL 9000 computer in "2001: A Space Odyssey"

Day In Court said...

What difference does it make if he was an attorney. Since when can a person NOT have a person of his choosing represent him? The judge wasted an awful lot of time asking that silly question over and over. It may be foolish to have a non-attorney represent you in court; however, it's not illegal to be a fool.

"Most cops shave their heads"? Oh? I can't think of the last time I saw a cop with a shaved head. Now, sunglasses perched up on top of their heads is something else! A lawyer's effectiveness is not based on what he looks like either. He may look like Hoppy Kirksey or he may look like Gregory Peck. Who cares as long as the client walks?

@9:45: " If you go to work as an attorney or CPA, do you shave your head?"

I'm an attorney, and yes, I shave my head. I think it looks better than my male-pattern baldness.

@Day in Court: "What difference does it make if he was an attorney. Since when can a person NOT have a person of his choosing represent him?"

Uh... since forever. You have the right to represent yourself in court. You do not have the right to have anyone other than yourself or an attorney to represent you in court. The idea is to protect people from being represented by someone who has not at least proven they have a basic understanding of the law. This is one of the reasons a judge must advise a self-represented person at trial that if they proceed self-represented, they do so at their own peril.

Day In Court said...

For the chrome dome at 12:24; Begging your pardon, but it wasn't clear to me what kind of 'court' this was or if it was some sort of administrative law hearing. I've never seen a judge hiding behind a monitor or a gaggle of women adjusting computer equipment at the bench and then moving it around while the matter was proceeding. It didn't look to me like a court. There are hearings conducted by law judges (such as unemployment insurance appeals gaveled to order by an administrative law judge) that do allow non-attorneys to represent appellants/claimants. The same is true of Workers' Compensation hearings.

CPA said...

Policemen think that shaved head gives them more bravado.

Muldoon's Tootie said...

Again, I can't recall the last time I saw a cop with a shaved head. I'm sure there are some. There are probably some with flat-tops, weaves and rows too. Not sure about that either.

George Jefferson said...

It is not the shaved head, it's the lack of education that scares me. They have NO idea of the constitutional rights afforded citizens and recent court decisions that limit their authority.

Maybe the lack of hair is a sure sign of a lack of education.

Section 26. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall have a right to be heard by himself or counsel, or both...

This is first part of Section 26 from the MS Constitution. I have heard judges tell "sovereign citizens" they had to hire a lawyer. In response, the "sovereign citizen" quoted the MS Constitution - only to have the judge ignore him. Is the "sovereign citizen" crazy for believing he has these rights? Does the Constitution really mean what it says in the English language? Which one is committing treason? Which one is the "nut cake"? The police, and other government officials use smear tactics and defamation to demonize anyone who asks them hard questions that shine the light on their illegal behavior. You idiots had better wake up and start defending your rights, or you'll find yourself in an Nazi-style police state. Start asking the hard questions, study the rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court, look at the quotes of the founding fathers, and you'll find that many of the things the "sovereign citizens" say are correct, lawful - but unpopular. That doesn't make them evil. Wake Up America.

People represent themselves in court all the time. Go hang out in the Hinds County Courthouse for awhile if you don't believe me.

People who represent themselves usually wind up worse off for doing so than if they got a lawyer. Seen it happen too many times.

Section 25. No person shall be debarred from prosecuting or defending any civil cause for or against him or herself, before any tribunal in the state, by him or herself, or counsel, or both.

Here is Section 25 from the MS Constitution. I once heard of a MS Chancery Court judge tell a young man he couldn’t file his own divorce papers, even though it was a “no-fault” divorce, was uncontested by his wife, and she signed the papers. The judge told this young man he had to hire a lawyer.

So, does Section 25 mean what it says, or NOT? Should the “sovereign citizen” raise hell when the judge tries to screw him, or should he just “take it?” Is the “sovereign citizen” really the evil bad guy these videos make him out to be for demanding that the damn government officials follow the law? Someone please explain to me why it is so wrong and evil to demand that government officials obey the law, particularly, the Constitution.

I once heard a judge tell the people in his court room he would find them guilty if he didn't like the clothes they were wearing. Facts of the case didn't matter as he would not hear them.

Can We Approach? said...

Where is the word 'counsel' defined? Counsel very simply means one who provides guidance or advice. Who says it has to be a lawyer who has passed the bar?

And since when is 'hanging out in the Hinds County courthouse' the standard for obtaining knowledge?

So many questions. So few qualified to answer them.

Been there. Done that. said...

anyone representing himself has an idiot for a client.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
