The extremists knocking on doors and claiming people's homes....

Homeowners in the Seattle suburbs have been getting disturbing visits from members of the Moorish sovereign citizen movement.

The Edmonds, Washington, man had only just moved into his home when a stranger appeared in his driveway. A nice-looking stranger, the man later told police, although oddly dressed. The visitor wore a tall red fez cap. The homeowner stepped outside and asked if he could help him. "Yes,” the visitor said, according to a police report. “I am here to let you know that I am the legal owner of the property and today is the day."

What? the homeowner asked. "Today is the day!" the visitor repeated. The back-and-forth went on for some time, with the visitor repeating “today is the day” and insisting the homeowner had no right to be there. Eventually the stranger handed over some official-looking paperwork and drove off. The weird encounter was one of four such incidents to take place in a pair of Seattle suburbs in recent weeks. Someone knocks on a door, claims to be the legal owner of the house, and tells the current occupant to clear out. But these aren’t the evictions that have swept the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They’re hoaxes perpetrated by the Moorish sovereign citizen movement, a conspiratorial group that claims its members are the rightful owners of virtually all property in America.

Police have not accused anyone of a crime related to the incidents. But the incident reports implicate a specific Moorish sovereign citizen group and one of its leaders.

Nuts come in all varieties I guess, and why not Seattle where occupation is tolerated as if rightful ownership of the peoples...........

LOL

The world is full of deluded people who would rather take the property of others than work to support themselves. How did we get to such a lazy, good-for-nothing mindset?

The OP article says they believe they are indigenous to the Americas. That's going to backfire on them if they want to claim reparations for their ancestors having been brought here against their will and enslaved.

A new doofus is born every second. Just make up a story. Any story. Tell folks it's true.

Good golly, this one has me giggling.

Waiting for someone to get killed over this stuff.

Waiting for someone to get killed over this stuff.

We had these people sweep through Northeast Ohio 10 or 15 years ago. They ended up picking on the wrong guy, a stark county common pleas judge. They ended up going to jail. That put an end to it around here. We also went through a period where these people were doing crimes and then arguing that the courts had no jurisdiction because they didn’t recognize the authority of the court without the fringe on the flag and all kinds of silly arguments like that. Eventually, one of them threatened the judge and the whole gang of them went to jail. We don’t see them anymore. I represented a couple municipal judges who had gotten sued by them. What a weird group.
