Kansas City Man's Anger At Law Enforcement Fit Into Sovereign Citizen Beliefs

When I hear "Sovereign Citizen" or "OathKeeper" and several similar movement and organizations my ears perk up. I view them with the Same Disdain that I had for the IRA when I lived in London.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I heard similar words said by Tim McVeigh as his defense, for killing all those civilian including children in Oklahoma City back in 95.

CPT Pedro Meza - Same Mentality, Domestic Terrorists.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Yet, they were service members at one time, so the question is how were they failed.

Sir, while the SCOTUS may frequently protect minority rights, that is not their role. Their role is to determine the constitutionality of laws. If people believe that SCOTUS will side with them just because they are a minority, they will surely be disappointed and even more disenfranchised with the government. Sometime the majority is indeed correct and will persevere in SCOTUS findings. However. the premise of "majority rules, minority rights" is what our Founding Fathers designed for us. I think the concept is eroding away as we see the government continually attacking our constitutional rights, whether it is the free speech, bearing arms, or in some case even the whole concept of due process.

That being said, I think the bigger point is that each community needs to have open conversations with each other. No pointing fingers, just honest talk and debate. At the end each needs to own their part of it and figure out how to work together to end it. For surely this is a case of our nation being divided. United we stand, divided we fall. Let us unite in open dialogue with open hearts to find a sense of commonality and common purpose.

Well Stated Major.
