Seattle-area homeowners report ‘sovereign citizen’ property seizure attempts

That knock on your door? It might be someone attempting to take your home.

Police in suburbs north of Seattle say so-called “sovereign citizens” have been visiting homes in at least two communities, presenting homeowners with official-looking documents, and announcing that they’re the rightful owners.

In at least one case, a homeowner was told she was being evicted, Seattle’s KIRO-TV reported.

“Their group believes they own all of the land between Alaska and Argentina and all the islands in between,” Sgt. Josh McClure of the Edmonds Police Department told the station. “Unfortunately, Edmonds falls between that land.”

The group has been known to operate in other parts of the U.S. as well, according to the report.

In North Carolina, a couple took over a multimillion-dollar home that had been put up for sale and barricaded themselves inside – until ultimately being arrested for trespassing.

In Maryland, a member of the group moved into a 12-bedroom mansion.

Exactly. And many cops will be "just following orders" when they arrest you and make you give up your home because of your white privilege.

Right now many cops say that wouldn't happen, but it probably will. And they will go along with it.

Easy solution to this.
1. Open door
2. Acknowledges they can have your house, invite them in
3. Hand them screw driver
4. Eliminate threat
5. Tell police how they stormed in with weapon.

Well, his face looks like a prolapsed anus. Beyond that, not much I can tell. I’ll be inside having a coke if they need something when they get here.

The fact that the article said "the group" but didn't identify the group says "Moors' or some variation loud and clear.

There's a not so fine line between lawful use of deadly force in self-defense, and desecration of a corpse.
