    The gentleman who stopped the shooter is a stone cold hero. Amazing story, such a humble person.

    The father of the shooter sounds like an idiot.

    The suspected gunman on the run after riddling a Tennessee Waffle House with bullets dubbed himself a "sovereign citizen," before being arrested in July 2017 outside the White House.

    Travis Reinking, 29, used that term — which the FBI has also used to describe a group of anti-government extremists — during a clash last year with the Secret Service, according to a police report obtained by USA TODAY.

    Reinking told agents he needed to see President Trump and defined himself as sovereign citizen who had a right to inspect the grounds, according to an arrest report by the Metropolitan Police Department in D.C. He was arrested on an unlawful entry charge after refusing to leave the area.

    The FBI has said sovereign citizens "believe that even though they physically reside in this country, they are separate or 'sovereign' from the United States."

    The agency has also defined sovereign citizens as "anti-government extremists who claim the federal government is operating outside its jurisdiction and they are therefore not bound by government authority—including the courts, taxing entities, motor vehicle departments, and even law enforcement."

    He's a wack job. More troubling currently is the guy that drove a van into pedestrians in Toronto.

    Waffle house also serves poor people, Toronto is full of rich people.

    Tim Hortons is Canada's version of the Waffle House.

    These sovereign citizens whackjobs are a real treat aren't they?

    We should fence off a few hundred miles of nothing on federal lands somewhere and let them live there. No help from us of course.

    As long as there are heroic black dudes around to take the gun from them then yes.

    The young man looks normal but under it all he was fucked up and he should have shot himself instead of wasting innocents and causing untold grief for their families. We should have a law for insane people like this. Here is my version: Take the prick into a helicopter and drop him off in the ocean from 100 feet up one mile out. If he makes it to shore without being devoured by sharks or entangled in plastic waste, the family can have their way with him when he reaches a beach. If he gets clubbed to death by the victims' family after the exhausting ordeal, it would be Ok with me. Meanwhile, asses like this suck and absorb the prison system costing us 70 K a year.

    Well, they wanna use the roads and other things we all pay for. I'd deport them but there really isn't a good answer for what to do with people that don't want to be a part of us. And where to deport them to? There isn't anything to explore left is there?

    Give them some empty land to roam and keep them away from the rest of us.
