Erick Shute - SovCit turned killer

Post by Jeffrey »

Authorities said a preliminary investigation shows three people were murdered when a Great Cacapon, W.Va., man who was prepping for the "end of times" hid behind a tree and opened fire with an assault-style rifle Monday afternoon on top of Sideling Hill Mountain in Morgan County, W.Va.

He said Shute is believed to be a "sovereign citizen" — someone who doesn't recognize state or federal law — and was prepping for the "end of times." Shute also tried to recruit others who seemed to have similar beliefs, according to Shambaugh.
Reddit found this case he filed:

On March 23, 2011, defendant visited the Pennsville police department, as he later testified, intending to sign a "peace treaty" with the department, permitting defendant to operate his automobile without regard to State licensing and registration requirements.
So there it is, driving without a license is a slippery slope to murder.

This happened about 20 miles from where I grew up and my family still lives. I messaged my aunt about it after it happened and my family was ok. She was saying the guy had come from New Jersey and the whole thing was over a property dispute. Haven't read the articles yet, phone, bandwidth, plus I'm in the middle of packing and heading to 92nd. My ex refused to bring the twin's back after her visitation so I have to go take them back. See you guys at some point.
