"Sovereign Citizen" fanatic, Dezi Freeman, has been found and killed by police. I'm not a fan of the police shooting people dead, and would have preferred they arrested him and put him on trial. Sure, you could argue the community is safer without a murderous, gun-toting, SovCit on the loose. To add to my concerns, I think he's going to be mythologised by SovCit folks as a hero who fought the system and went out in a blaze of glory.
Back in August last year, Dezi Freeman evaded arrest at his home in Porepunkah on allegations of violence, some possibly of a sexual nature, and some possibly involving children. He shot at the police and killed two. For the last seven months, it was suspected he was hiding nearby and receiving help from family or friends. Despite the media suggesting he was experienced with hiking and the outdoors, and the shit that Preppers like to claim about their skills, there's a practical limit to how well a human can live in isolation.
