Sounds like a sovereign citizen defense, possibly the most dramapilled defense for random mass violence. Drama demands that the judge allow pro se representation, but she can unfortunately rescind it at any time.
The killer SUV from the Waukesha parade massacre is representing itself in court, claims not to recognize the name "Darrell Brooks." Judge sends it to the garage after repeated disruptions.

Yeah he's a sovereign citizen and is representing himself in court. The judge ended yesterday after 5 minutes because she was so done with him.

Maybe. But a lot of them, maybe even the majority these days, are black nationalists. The Moorish Science Temple (a cult that the Nation of Islam broke off from) has gone full sovcit.

I think the Moorish Science Temple predates the NOI by 60 or 70 years

It seems it goes back to the 1910s, so more like 20 years. But it's hard to be sure because not much is known about their founders.

Oh I thought the NOI was founded in the 50โs or 60โs, my bad
But I think the Moorish Science Temple has always been sovcit in their history. The early members and founders called themselves โMoorsโ and โAsiaticsโ claiming that they had immunity from US law because some treaty the US signed with Morocco, with various splinters acting similarly as being legally exempt by claiming citizenship from other countries or because of their ethnicity whether their real (eg African Americans being a โenslaved nationโ) or not real (eg claiming Native American descent so they canโt be found guilty for being pedos).

Look, sheeple, the law is strictly deterministic. Judges and juries are transistors. If I put in the right input, i'll get the desired output. There's no room for interpretation. Even though the last thousand times I tried this argument, i got tossed out of court.
SovCits are weird because they're computer-illiterate boomers and schizos but they sound like Alan Turing when they describe how (they think) the law works.

"I cannot be declared guilty by this court, because I found an unpatched exploit deep in the legal system."
"That's r-slurred"
"We filled out all the forms and came to a decision-- 9/9 guilty and super r-slurred"
"The precedent of this court is that your argument is super r-slurred"
"There's even more unpatched legal exploits! I'll get them next time."

Yeah, they've always had that tendency. But now they've incorporated the modern sovcit bullshit about admiralty law and stuff too.

Not shocking. Sov citizens are some of the most dangerous/r-slurred people in the country.

Yes, but have you considered that cops are mostly lazy liars whose "top threats" can "only be addressed" by destroying the constitution?

Yes I know exactly what they are- delusional r-slurred poor's who grasp at any sort of straw to try and find non-existent magical loopholes in the law that will correct their sad lives. But no, Officer Piggy needs to be able to search your house and phone without a warrant to combat these threats
