(14,012 posts)148. Update: Defendants Involved In Massachusetts Standoff In Court
Tuesday:
"Some of the 11 people charged in connection with an armed standoff along a Massachusetts highway last weekend refused to cooperate with court authorities during their arraignments Tuesday.
The first to appear, Quinn Cumberlander, 40, of Pawtucket, told the judge in a courtroom with a heavy security presence he was a foreign national who cannot face criminal charges, and said he did not want a defense attorney.
Cumberlander invoked his Second Amendment right to bear arms, said the case should be heard in federal court, and said he meant no harm."

OP
Astonishing that all the men were so disciplined that not one reached for his waistband.

Or they would have made furtive movements that caused the officers to piss themselves.
