Amid the explosions, smoke, roaring vehicles and chattering gunfire of a terrorist attack Thursday afternoon at Port Everglades, one fact became chillingly clear:
These weren't foreign-born America-hating terrorists. These were native-born America-hating terrorists. And they were making things difficult for the good guys.
"They're moving, they're taking positions, they have superior firepower," said Sheriff's Deputy Richard Saito. "They're clearly very well-trained, very well-motivated."
Of course it wasn't a real terrorist attack, but rather a large-scale SWAT training exercise mounted by the Broward Sheriff's Office involving boats, bus, bombs and booby-trapped hostages.
"This is really a worst case scenario," said Saito, the SWAT team member who concocted the training storyline.
In Saito's plot, seven "sovereign citizens," or militia-styled revolutionaries who advocate the government's overthrow, assault the port by boat. Their goal: steal a shipment of arms and ammunition transiting through the facility.

Hmmmm. I wonder who in the Obama White House/DHS helped this Broward County Sheriff's Deputy come up with this scenario?
Of course, they can't point to any case remotely like this. But they sure want the DHS-funded armored truck.
You’re going to love this.
Ping!
These people are insane!
I wonder if I put “green” in my grant application for a surplus MRAP if the IRS will give it a pass.
“Green Solar Sovereign Sucka TZ”
Sweet Jaysus.
They’re actively using patriot groups as OFPOR.
DHS, DOJ ans SPLC all had a hand in the scenario.
Just say the MRAP is needed to test your hybrid version, that you intend to use to support your 501(c)4, itself intended to educate citizens about the benefits of Obamacare.
Runs on Ethanol and Algore farts.
According to the DoD, we on FR are terrorists, along with NRA members, Oathkeepers, SAF, etc.
this is the constantly sued, crony contract giving, left wing democrat, citizen civil rights hating sherrif?
If they’re not Amish, they’re probably Evangelical Christians or Tea Party Members or fanatics who believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
IOW, Tea Party Patriots.
Sounds about right for South Florida, but that’s just my impression from afar. Hopefully some locals can chime in on that. Can someone ping the FL forum to this thread?
This is kind of like that movie "The Sum of All Fears" that came out shortly after 9/11 portraying a nuclear terrorist threat, but instead of middle easterners the bad guys were evil neo-apartheid South Africans. Pressure from CAIR was responsible for changing the plot of the book.
Saito.
Wonder if he’s any relation to Horiuchi?
“Sovereign Citizen” is an oxymoron.
The sovereign is the source of the law. He decides what law applies to him.
A “citizen” is a member of a political community. He voluntarily give allegiance to the community, and gets from it protection. The protection is in the form of the civil rights that the community recognizes.
As originally understood and framed by the US Constitution, there actually were “sovereign citizens”. I don’t know how true it is, but I recall (very fuzzily) my history teacher in HS saying that when the Constitution was adopted, people danced in the streets saying “Every man a King!!”.
But the 14th amendment changed that. It turned people from being “Citizens” to being “subjects”.
The law on this us very muddy and unclear. I’ve read many treatises on it, as well as a good portion of Black’s sixth edition, and Blackstones Commentaries.
Ultimately, it comes down to what kind of mood the judge is in that particular day, or whether or not the police officer that pulls you over had a fight with his wife recently...
No. No I didn't.
Looks like the crazy man has lost the “plot.”
They couldn’t pretend to fight Muslims or leftist guerilla forces because that would be realistic training
