      How about…

      The state has the monopoly on violence. To assert your sovereignty over the state you need to make that monopoly your own. Walk into a police station with a gun and wave it around. You will promptly be freed from the tyranny of the law!

      (Note: this only works in the USA because of the laws, if you try this in Europe we won’t know what to do and you might end up with mental health support and therapy instead of sovereignty.)

      Think it would work? 😈

      Please no. I work in a city hall. I don’t need that in my life. We already had a guy hit an artery while shooting up in the bathroom and spray blood everywhere, and someone plugged up one of the sinks on a Friday night and flooded the lower level over the weekend, and they had to do a cleanup because there were traces of meth all over like every city building except the PD from people smoking it in the bathrooms, and I really cannot take one more bathroom-related incident.

          I actually don’t know and it makes me sad. He took off but if he didn’t get medical care pretty quick, I’m not sure what his odds are. We’re not too far from an ER so I hope he made it.
