Oh, cool! A vague sorta poetic monologue calling us to action against tyrants who do unjust things and whatnot . . . .
. . . uhhh, so what exactly are we supposed to do, where and to whom?
The only thing I feel like rising to action against is his scary ass Ferengi teeth. Dude’s got the eyebrows of Dukakis and the mouth of a mole rat.
Yes, I’ll help you punch him, DJ. As long as I can do it with a brick, becausee I don’t want to get cut up by his faceful of razor clams.
Right on. That dude has a bunch of videos and they all make me want to punch him.
I can’t even tell what his politics are or what he’s pissed off about. I mean, I guess he is some sorta Tea Party Libertarian type of guy or something? Is he advocating any militia or anything? I just don’t get what his beef is.
I also asked all those questions just to point out what a vague and ineffective loser he is. I honestly don’t care what his beliefs or values are. Whatever they are, they’re wrong and/or stupid and even if they weren’t, he looks like an idiot with meth teeth.
looks like there’s quite a few cameras on the tv screen over his right shoulder - they pop into frame briefly a few times. this guy also rambles like a preacher.

I’m not sure if he pre-wrote his little monologue or if that was freestyling with some words he thought sounded cool. He does like the sound of his own voice. I don’t.
This guy is basically why I have to invent some new word to describe my political orientation instead of “libertarian,” because stuff like this is allowed to be the public face of the movement. Ugh.
I can’t remember if it was this guy or a similar-minded activist, but I did see a YouTube of somebody like this barking at a traffic cop, quoting letter and verse of the Constitution and just spazzing out because he had gotten pulled over for speeding (no formal arrest had been made, nor even any hint that a search or seizure was about to take place). Yeah, because NOTHING helps get you off the hook with the police like trying to undermine their authority…
On the other hand, I’ve been stopped like three times in the past couple years for “we clocked you going 60 in a 50mph zone” sorts of violations, and managed to get off ticket-less simply by showing some general respect and understanding of the situation, and phrasing my concerns as questions rather than making DEMANDS of the officer (e.g. “where was it that the speed limit changed,” simple crap like that).
He wants to make sure the police are in check,
And if they’re not? He’ll what… make a video?
I find most peole that ramble on about constitution and God generally aren’t very well versed in either. I will not help you punch him in the face because i am a pussy liberal. But if you wanna punch him. Help yerself.
I did try watching a few minutes of one of his videos. There was some checkpoint and he was getting all uppity with the cops while his toddler or baby was crying the whole time . . . he ignored his baby the entire time because it was more important for him to puff himself up as Capt. Constitution and film the cops.

Yeah this may in fact be the same person I was referencing before, now that I think of it.
I heard some people on the XM radio station ‘Road Dog Trucking’ talking about him, using him as an explicit example of how NOT to engage a patrolman during a routine traffic stop (Road Dog on its own is hilarious if you want to hear the world filtered through the mind of ‘big rig’ drivers, their wall-to-wall negative assessments of us drivers of “four wheelers” is good stuff, lol)
There a bunch of videos where people go through immigration checkpoints and refuse to answer any questions based on the 4th amendment. All they have to do is say “Yes, I am a citizen” or “No, I don’t have any fruit” and be free to go but they go into the whole “I don’t answer questions. Are you detaining me? Am I free to go?” thing. I have the feeling that many of them care nothing about their rights as much as finding some loophole to mess with authority figures. I really like the ones where the cops or border patrols lose their patience and bust open their car window and haul them off to jail. I find a lot of satisfaction in that for some weird reason.
I saw one of those with this woman who sounds like shes about to cry the whole time and her boyfriend filming in the passenger seat the whole time. She keeps saying you have no right to ask me these questions and am i under arrest and if so what are the charges. This goes on for like 15 minutes. The cops go get their captain or whoever is in charge and he lets her go. Oh it was a glorious day for rights, and today the constitution won and all that. So, yeah, just say im a US citizen im not bringing in any contraband into the country thank you have a nice day. 15 minutes cut to 15 seconds now thats efficiency
Policing in general is one of those hot-button issues where I feel out of step with the other folks in ‘my’ camp.
the libertarians of the “capital-L” type have this phobia of cops that is very absolutist; and my enemy isn’t the loss of liberty so much as it is this kind of “no exceptions to the rule” thinking, because I think that’s the fertile soil from which real loss of liberty grows. I do believe that some security forces and bodies like the TSA are just unnecessary “job-making” programs rather than entities meant to actually keep people safe, but I don’t think that every officer of the law signs up for the job with the exclusive goal of oppressing and silencing me.
One solution these guys had was to privatize police forces and have them be subject to the laws of the free market like any other service - which is interesting in principle, but I can just imagine the undesirable side effects of that. Instead of having cops handing out tons of citations in order to make departmental quotas, you’d just have the equally annoying situation of having different policing “brands” trying to outdo one another by making more pointless arrests.
There’s a word for the thing at the end of videos like this where there’s video effects leading to a menu of hyperlinks. I can’t for the life of me think of what it’s called and my Google skills are just turning up garbage.
Whatever this is called, it kinda cheapens his whole spiel. Makes it seem ironicallyl ess genuine by giving it a degree of authenticity?
I’m not a film major/professional. I dunno, man.
