Sovereign Citizens
 

These guys all share one thing, their IQs are well under 100, for
sure.

"A man accused of stealing copper wiring from a Florida church claims
the law doesn’t apply to him because he is a sovereign citizen.

Sheriff’s deputies in Seminole County said 43-year-old Marc Stanley
attempted to break into East Coast Believers Church, which is
undergoing extensive renovation, late Friday.

Investigators said large amounts of sheet metal and construction
equipment are being stored in the 50,000-square-foot building.

The South Carolina man was unable to gain entry to the building,
authorities said, so he instead stripped the copper wire from every
light pole in the church’s parking lot.

“They felt about $20,000 had been stolen out of the light poles in the
parking lot,” said church spokeswoman Susan Gordon.

Deputies said Stanley argued during his arrest that he was a sovereign
citizen, so “legalese did not apply to him.”

Stanley is currently held without bond on 43 counts, including grand
theft and criminal mischief, at the Seminole County Jail."

He'll miss his Tea Party meetings...

Republicans . . . the anti-immigrant, anti-contraception, anti-student,
anti-middle class, pro-impeachment party that shut down the government
last year for no reason.

I always like it when they try to steal the "last" ground wire, the
one that is bleeding off the medium voltage field and he ends up being
part of a 13.5kv circuit.

Last year, they found 2 fried guys, in an underground utility vault. Did
not even interrupt service, I think it was an underground 25kv circuit.
Quick arc, and opened connection to the bad guys.
