Foreclosed, then Re-Possessed 1
“Sovereign citizens,” members of an anarchist branch of extreme wingnuttery (I know that sounds redundant), are moving into foreclosed houses and filing false deeds claiming ownership of them. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
They call themselves “sovereign citizens” and believe they are immune to state and federal laws. They assert, among other things, that banks can’t own land and that any home owned by a bank – including the thousands throughout Georgia – is free for the taking.
Police and prosecutors take a different view. The FBI has listed them on the domestic terrorist list, saying their crime of choice is paper terrorism and attempting to disrupt the U.S. economy.
