Korryn Gaines was a sovereign citizen douchebag "I'm in the middle of suing the government" LOL

And if you watch the whole thing she is telling her kid to fight the cops etc etc... And the cops are giving her every freaking chance in the World. Sovereign citizen idiots come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

"They will not kidnap me" "You will not steal my car" "Nobody has shown a delegation of authority"
No different than blue tarp man who was mocked and ridiculed-

she put her children in serious jeopardy for nothing

terrible mother

I'm sorry she's dead but this display of contempt for police and encouraging her child to do the same
leads me to believe she was not quite right in the head

The police did everything they could to avoid shooting her, but she was determined to put herself and her child in harm's way. I'm glad the kid is going to be alright.

declines in mental function, memory loss and mood disorders, all of which are symptoms of lead poisoning. I'm not a fan of pathologizing behaviors -- and I admit this wouldn't be my first thought if she were white -- but she tested positive for lead poisoning as a child. Its effects across populations are proven; individuals make up populations, and this may be what it looks like at that level.

It's mentioned in a WaPo story.

13. If she's that mentally handicapped, the cops should have been knocking down her door

With Child Protective Services along to take her children from her. You know, the one she almost got killed through her actions.

If lead poisoning damaged her brain to the point she fired a shotgun at cops while holding her 5 yr old child on her lap, she was completely unfit to parent.

Her boyfriend also had one for far more serious offenses -- he immediately grabbed their younger child and surrendered. It was probably just fate that their addresses matched.

Baltimore Sun.com: ...(Gaines) had been pulled over in March for driving with a cardboard "Free Traveler" sign in place of a license plate on her car...(A) cardboard sign on the back of Gaines' car read, "Any Government official who compromises this pursuit to happiness and right to travel will be held criminally responsible and fined, as this is a natural right or freedom."

Sorry, but no freedom-fighting militant martyr role model points for her -- she's closer to a Lauryn Hill (who decided she didn't have to pay income taxes) than an Angela Davis.

Not saying she deserved to die but her death was clearly a chance at matyrdom.
