Crazy bastard kills people. That gets very few clicks even with “black and white” mentioned. Even if the colors were reversed. Crazy doesn’t sell.

The sovereign citizen thing is different. Usually a redneck and or hippy thing. I don’t recall them being particularly violent, except for law enforcement encounters or trying to film a court session. Not slaughtering randoms.

Well this is interesting. I’ve been flipping through all the news channels looking for coverage of this…nothing.

Maybe someone should alert them? I mean, we had non-stop coverage and full mobilization of the FBI over a pull in Bubba Watson’s garage…

This disappeared so quickly that I forgot it even happened. Talk about buried.

Rekieta is currently streaming the "housecleaning" motions going on right now. It's already a mess. Brooks is refusing to accept documentation and said that he did not get other documents reportedly handed directly to him in jail.

Now he is arguing that his trial needs to be delayed because he "has COVID symptoms" such as "loss of taste" and "fatigue." Dude is a mess.

ETA: "I'm fully vaccinated and have been since 2021. I'm scared right now...I'm afraid as hell."

He also just refused to take a rapid COVID test because he wants the results of the test he already took. Which won't be ready until at least Friday.

Only if it's 4 wheel drive. 2 wheel drives have been discriminated against due to 4 wheel drive supremacy. Going for equity now.

He waived his right to counsel and is representing himself.

He is but he knows exactly what he is doing. He is only trying to stall because he knows he is fricked.

Absolutely. He is cooked and is just stalling as much as possible.

The sov cit "arguments" are fricking retarded but funny to watch.

Yes, the whole "I don't see the binder" sitting a foot from him is insane. No one believes that. They really need to remove his ability to represent himself. It's his right but he clearly doesn't have the minimal level of competency needed to do so.

This dude is going to drag out the trial 10 times longer than it needs to be and the judge is coddling the bastard. Our justice system has jumped the shark.
