Free Inhabitants?

Apparently, this is old, but I just ran across it. W2B showed it to me; something her brother shared, I guess.

Dingbat resists arrest while citing article IV of the Articles of Confederation.

I had no idea what the hell she was talking about; I was only aware of one Articles of Confederation, and surely she wasn't citing THAT. So I did some Googling. Yep, she was citing THAT Articles of Confederation. Here it is, btw:

Turns out Free Inhabitants is a thing, even it's only recognized by other Free Inhabitants. Who apparently have problems with reading comprehension and understanding history, incidentally.

As Bugs would say, What a maroon!

Nothing in that Article IV says she doesn't have to get out of that car. Had she done so, she would not have been arrested.

Not only that, but weren't the Articles of Confederation voided by the passage of the Constitution, anyway?

Yes... yes they were. That was by far the most entertaining thing I have seen in the last week. I haven't laughed this hard in awhile. :hysterical:

Had I not been so confused while viewing this absurdity, I probably would have gotten a good laugh out of it. But, it was presented to me with no introduction. W2B did not say "Hey, watch this dumb broad try to justify illegal activity with irrelevant legal code that was rendered obsolete by a new legal document more than two centuries ago." She just stuck a screen in front of my face, before my coffee even kicked in, and said "watch this!".

It has been my experience that, when people decide to post video of themselves interacting with the police, that they are usually in the right, even if obnoxiously so, and the police are wrong. In the average case, Innocent Citizen foils Oppressive Police with a keen understanding of individual rights, backed by citations of current and applicable law.

So, that was what I expected to see, when I noted the setting of this random video that had been set down before me.

I viewed the entire the thing in a state of great confusion as I tried to figure out a) just what the samhell this winged lunar rodent was going on about and b) why the officer was wrong; he seemed pretty patient and reasonable to me.

Admittedly, it took me a few minutes to process what I had just seen. Remember, my coffee hadn't kicked in, yet. The look on my face had to have been amusing; the whole thing made my brain hurt. And that was before I realized what she was citing.

Speaking of incredibly stupid, the funniest thing I heard this week, was on Fridays "Wilkow Majority", aired on SeriousXMs Patriot Channel. Apparently, Andrew Wilkow was a guest on someone elses radio program Friday morning, and he played an audio clip from that broadcast on his own show, later that day.

Some space cadet had called the morning show to discuss the debate. First, she griped about Trump, but she was really upset about Carson. Carson had apparently displayed his ignorance on racial issues by his use of the phrase "useful idiots ". Karl Marx, she explained, had coined that phrase when he invented the Ku Klux Klan.

Unlike the mouthy broad in the video, I'm guessing that this chick actually votes.

OMG!!! That is too funny. I have to see if I can find a clip of that.

This is why I could never be in law enforcement, dealing with idiots like this.

First, the Articles don't say what she is asserting. Oddly, the intent of Article IV of the Articles is very much the same as Article IV of the Constitution, the priviliges and immunities and full faith and credit.

The Articles of Confederation were by and large dead BEFORE the Constitutional Convention. The several states were by and large ignoring it even back then. Essentially, Marshall and others pretty much declared it dead and the Constitution was a "do over" rather than a modification of the existing government.
