Man Involved in Massachusetts Standoff Tells Court He's 'Foreign National,' Can't Be Charged

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A man involved in an armed standoff with police on an interstate highway in Massachusetts last week refused a defense attorney and told a court he can't be charged because he's a "foreign national," the Associated Press reported.

Quinn Cumberlander, a 40-year old from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, is one of 11 people facing charges in connection with the standoff that lasted multiple hours on Interstate 95 in Wakefield, the Associated Press reported.

A state trooper found the suspects—wearing body armor and armed with firearms that they weren't licensed to carry in the state—refueling on the side of the highway Saturday morning. The standoff began when some of the men fled into nearby woods.

The men are facing charges that include unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition and the use of body armor in commission of a crime. A judge in Malden District Court in Medford, Massachusetts, ruled that Cumberlander be held without bail in anticipation of a Friday hearing in which the court will rule whether or not he is dangerous.

That's what you think.

1. GITMO

Then I guess he should go GITMO😊

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Ah...another "sovereign" citizen! Oh he can be, and he will be, charged!

[dawg day]

3. Does he have diplomatic immunity?

Otherwise, maybe he better try another tactic, like pleading guilty first.

[edhopper]

4. Foreign diplomats aren't charged

Foreign nationals are charged all the time. What an idiot.

13% of the prison population are undocumented immigrants, in other words foreign nationals.

5. Sounds like Mo Brooks. . . ..

"He can't be sued because he's a "Federal Employee".

[LifeLongDemocratic]

6. Left or Right

Does anyone know if this group supports Trump. Since they are non-white I doubt it

[SharonClark]

10. Does it really matter?

Do you think they vote when they believe they are not citizens of the US.

[sheshe2]

18. That has nothing to do with the issue.

20. Here, read this...

They are a splinter of this cluster:

Competing factions developed among the congregations and leaders, especially after the death of the charismatic Ali. Three independent organizations developed from this ferment. The founding of the Nation of Islam by Wallace Fard Muhammad in 1930 also created competition for members.

23. Most "sovereign citizens" are white.

This is one of the few, more recent, splinter groups which are not.

They are closer to libertarians than anything else.

7. Two thoughts on "use of body armor in the commission of a crime". What does......

the NRA have to say about such a law and, if there is a similar Federal law, how does it affect the cos-play idiots who worn body armor as they attacked the Capitol?

[bottomofthehill]

15. That is a state charge in Massachusetts.

May not apply in DC

16. That is a state charge in Massachusetts.

May not apply in DC

8. I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can believe whatever the fuck you like,

but your opinion doesn't matter. The judge/jury's opinion is what matters. And they aren't going to believe that you can't be charged.

[Rebl2]

9. So he is

a foreign national and committed a crime. Sorry buddy but you can be charged with crimes just like US citizens can be charged in foreign countries if they commit crimes. Happens all the time.

[Wounded Bear]

11. So, he's an illegal immigrant?

[3Hotdogs]

12. THAT'S MY TICKET !!! Thanks. I will form my own foreign nation: Hotdogia.

Then I will appoint diplomats and issue certificates to my dips so they can't be charged in any court.

Diplomatic appointments will be available at $10k for appointments to shithole countries.


$100 k for ambassadorships to top tier countries.

[Bristlecone]

13. We'll, he is from Pawtucket....

I kid my RI brothers and sisters.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. That and Nantucket are featured in limericks often

[Politicub]

17. Is this the same Kingdom of the More Moorish Moors group, or

whatever they’re called?

[DFW]

19. So, if a visiting Russian decides to shoot Lt. Othello in the foot

He can‘t be charged, since he is a foreign national?

[BradAllison]

21. One of these assholes was wearing a fez and a swastika necklace
