The Age is reporting that two police officers have been killed and one wounded while carrying out a warrant on someone believed to be sovereign citizen. I imagine this will get a lot of attention but it’s good to be patient and wait until we know more before speculating too much
Probably also good to get it out there that the police were there *not* because they were a sovcit, but to investigate alledged historic sex crimes.
Those two often come hand in hand.
Apparently he is holding a woman and children hostage.

Fox News also love the sensationalist term “lawfare”
Yeah, it's a weird but catchy neologism that can deride legal approaches to problems. They might have gone with Extralegal, or Above The Law, but they picked what they did.
Reddit will no doubt lock the thread on it soon
Agreed. But rather than dignify them by calling them sovereign citizens, let’s stick with mentally challenged!
It’s Wieambilla all over again
And it will get worse if these fuckers have their way. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Our gun laws and culture stops this shit being like it is in the US, for now 😐
The gun lobbies want to change that. And you know they're bankrolled by the US gun companies.
Horrific news!
For those Americans tuning in, this is in Australia, in the state of Victoria.
Thank you, that was the info I was after (though I’m in the UK, not American)
And non-Americans, too.
Wait til the presser by VicPol I reckon.
