This article in Talking Points Memo is chilling. It concerns the views of so-called "sovereign citizens," who believe that they are exempt from the laws of government as "sovereign" entities. Among their followers are nutbags who shoot up government offices, or engage in gun battles with police or Federal agents.
As we noted on June 8, the Department of Homeland Security seems shy about cracking down on these dangerous characters. There's been a proliferation of far-right militia-type groups with a seething anger toward the Administration in the past two years, following President Obama's election. We need to take the violent threat posed by these pathetic clowns seriously.
