Actually, they're a bunch of really retarded morons. Their videos in court are hilarious. They usually get thumped one way or another for resisting arrest and arguing with police when stopped.
They think they can be their own nation, make their own laws, all the while still living in the US and getting the benefits of that. They want it both ways. That is, they want stuff like "free" money and social services, but they also don't want to be told what to do or how to behave in the slightest degree.
They push their luck every time they step out the front door.
