This video answers the question: Can I analyze the July 2021 incident with the group called “Rise of the Moors?” Who are the Moorish Sovereign Citizens?

Just a reminder, Dr Grande's not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating what could be happening when traffic is held up like this.

The best about sov cids is when they say "I do not consent" like they expect the cop to say darn I was gonna arrest you but you don't consent

A woman on TikTok did a series of videos telling the story of how, just earlier this month, a man belonging to this group broke into her house, changed the locks, and claimed that the house was his. They had to call a SWAT team to get him out.

“identified himself as grand sheik, not just a regular sheik.”
Note to self: do not consume liquids during Dr.Grande videos.

Dr Grande now has a podcast. My life is complete.

I’m excited you are covering this! I have been watching NatalieLawyerChick cover this group from a legal standpoint for some time!! She also had a debate with the leader of this group where I watched them degrade and bully her but she stood firm.

What’s scary is that these days people are more easily convinced into believing in conspiracies rather than science or history

Magical thinking with an identity crisis. Minimum requirement for entry.

I personally think there's an inherent danger from anyone that believes that the rules don't apply to them.

[ScrubbyBubbles]

Also Dr Grande and his dry humor generally makes my day

Some of these "Moorish sovereign citizens" have come dangerously close to being shot to death by the owners of the homes that they "claim for themselves." Eventually, we will hear a story in the news about a Moorish sovereign citizen trespasser who perishes as a result of entering the "wrong home" and startling the owner.

The moors were a people group from northeast Africa that conquered and ruled parts of Iberia for 700 years. The moors were made up of many different Islamic people's, of which some had dark skin. Some black nationalists believe that they are the descendants of the moors and greatly exaggerate Moorish influence and rule over Europe. They are known for fabricating evidence and misinterpreting historical writings and paintings to push the belief that black people were the ruling class of Europe. The Black Moorish nobility was eventually deceived, genocided and deported to Africa sometime before the invention of the camera.

So glad you're late uploading Dr Grande I was out sitting in the sun and fell asleep for nearly 2 hours.

I worked in a courthouse for 20 years... "Klatu verada nicto" never got anyone off

I love how dry your delivery is for the jokes. it makes them even better.

[leahwilliams]

Dr Grande thank you sincerely. Always look forward to hearing you speak.

[Suprachiasmatic]

I hadn’t heard about this group until last night when I ran across the TikTok of a woman whose house members of this group tried to steal! They changed the locks on the door and barricaded themselves inside and a SWAT team had to come and remove them. Wild story!

Sovereign citizen is an oxymoron, they do NOT claim that.

Thank you dr grande for your insightful videos
You have helped me learn to think critically about others and reconsider my relationship with certain people. I have seen lots of self improvement since I have started watching your videos.
Keep up the good work

“I guess they just thought to turn it over when no one else looked at the back.”🤣🤣
I love how the Doc can slay the people in his videos with such dry humor and wit.🙌🏻
