[@matthewavery8756]

Judge Middleton was very kind here. The amount of patience and wisdom he tried to provide from the perspective of caring really shined here. It is sad that judges have to discuss this with people at times. He really hit the nail on the head when he said "you can accidentally get yourself in a lot of trouble here." It is the truth, most sovcits, to me, come from a place of confusion and frustration with the law. Then out naivety they seek advice to try to get a system they want. The internet preys on this and gives them junk advice which this leads them to exponentially worse punishments with no hope of defending themselves... As entertaining as some people find it. It is really hard for me to watch sometimes. :( I come from a very rural place in the US and the ignorance of how the law works is rampant there. The sovcit mindset is appealing in those areas because people just see the justice system as confusing, scary, and at times over bearing.

[@ronfullerton3162]

The respectful and . mature way this man had been representing himself in the courthouse did not escape the Judge's notice. And he, in turn, has been very respectful back, and has the kindness to tey and advise the man in a way to tey and save him harm and bad times. Judge Middleton is definitely a class act.

[@marilynglazier9794]

He is definitely one of the most patient judges I have seen. Rarely does he really get upset.

[@leilalineberger995]

As soon as I saw Judge Middletons name I wondered if he ever did get upset.

[@georgemartin5980]

That caring lecture may be the first time someone kindly explained the ACTUAL law to him. Really nice people explain and affirm this sovereign business to him. Unkind people tell him he's a debunked moron. Knowing about the law and understanding everything is a balance it's a compact between the individual and society, I think if that ethic isn't inborn, it takes a long time to learn. It took me years to understand what my lawyer father was telling me about public policy and the police power;.

[@patriciaevans5906]

I think a lot of these people come at others including law enforcement but they do it in such an arrogant and condescending way and they sound so comical in what they say.
