Az shooter's obsession with "grammar" may be a Sovereign Citizen connection
Boing Boing has a piece today about grammar and teh Sovereign Citizen movement, and a possible Jared Loughner connection - worth taking a look at:

don't know if it's a true connection, but if it is, we could be hearing a whole lot more about Soveriegnity soon. and if the shooter is a conspiracy devotee, we could be hearing a lot of criticism of conspiracy websites soon. |
the shooter is garden variety conspiracy theorist.
no real tea bag/palin/beck/limbaugh connections, but he appears to lean right because 85% of conspiracy theories lean right or have a basis in old bircher/populist/anti-semetic conspiracies. the search to find the influence on this kids world view is kind of lame and fruitless, more or less a search for evidence to be used in finger-pointing and point-scoring. his world view seems kind of homespun and pulled from a variety of sources, the kind of shit one would come up with after smoking tons of dope, reading first year university texts and youtube conspiracy videos. |
From a recent article on msnbc:

the wynn-miller connection is pretty weak as well.

I watched that nut cases videos on Youtube.
He doesn't appear write in the truth language, ie: what David Miller uses. The truth language has a very solid sentence structure and everything is defined, it's not really hard to follow it. Here's a sample from a legal document on dwmlc.com "FOR THE CLAIM OF THE LIVE-LIFE IS WITHTHE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS CLAIMANT." It's overly proper... which is probably the best way to explain it. Which isn't anything like what was written on the Youtube videos. |
he graduated from garden-variety when he started pulling the trigger. which i expect was his goal.
i had noted his use of the term "grammar" in the videos - and thought it was odd. he was using the term similarly to, but not the same as, a semantician would use it. i think we will see a Sovereign Citizen Movement connection, but, i'm just speculating. it's the nature of rhetoric, which is the "language of persuasion", to affect the mind. in this case, it looks as if violent rhetoric persuaded a weak mind that violence was the path to take to combat government "conspiracy". there are many - many - weak minds in this country. |
he reminds me of some of the gfy conspiracy nuts- completely confused and overwhelmed by current events.

i agree it doesn't look like this kid was a miller follower, but he wouldn't have to imitate his language to adopt some sort of mixed theory of "political grammar". and miller isn't the only person who is making Sovereign arguments about names, grammar, language, and the constitution. at least that's my impression, i'm not an expert on sovereign theory by any means. sovereignity is kind of an attractive theory, i can understand why some people like it, even tho it's ultimately nonsense. |

I think most fail to realize the Judge can do whatever the heck the Judge wants. |

I guess it's hard for me to wrap my head around a person going crazy over grammar, lang, or related to the gov with grammar, or whatever. Not saying that isn't the case, he for sure had some issue with it - it's just hard to contemplate that craziness. |

there will be no sovereign citizen connection, aside from maybe him watching a few videos along with moon conspiracy videos. if palin/beck/tea bags did not exist this kid would have done the same thing. people deep into conspiracy don't follow beck/palin/replublicans - they seen then as part of the conspiracy as well. most conspiracists see the tea bags as controlled opposition, a tool of the controllers. but like i said, facts will be ignored and everyone is going to use this mentally ill kid and the crippled and dead victims as a football to score points against their political party sports team opponents. |
